It is an innovative method of online restaurant and bar reservation in Cyprus, through which, quickly and easily, you can choose one of the 59 restaurants and bars of the island that are – so far – contracted with the service and make your reservation, without delays and difficulties.
As reported by Michalis Michaelidis, editor-in-chief of lifestyle content at Sppmedia Group, which owns WiZ Guide, since the beginning of the year to date, registered restaurants and bars have almost doubled from those that existed until the end of 2023. This fact confirms the increasing trend of online booking both by the public and professional restaurateurs who choose to list their restaurants on online booking platforms.
During the first half of 2024 (January – June), 1,660 reservations were processed on Wiz bookonline, almost twice as many as in the corresponding period last year, which was 897. It is noteworthy that last year a total of 1,556 reservations were made through the application throughout their duration year. Given that in the first half of 2024, more bookings have already been registered than last year's total, it is confirmed that the trend – increasingly – is turning to online booking, with speed and convenience being what people are looking for. It should also be mentioned that since the opening day of Wiz bookonline, more than 10,000 people have visited the 59 restaurants and bars that are listed.
The numbers are the best proof of the momentum that Wiz bookonline has acquired, says Mr. Michaelidis, as, “In the last year, reservations have more than doubled, but also the number of people visiting the restaurants that have adopted the service.” “In an age where technology enables us to do everything in no time through our mobile, being able to book with one click through a serious and authoritative platform is not just a luxury, but almost a necessity , both for customers and restaurateurs,” he adds. At Wiz bookonline, visitors can easily make their reservation at the best and most popular restaurants on the island, in an easy-to-use environment, since user experience is a priority for the platform. An additional comparative advantage of Wiz bookonline, in relation to the competition, is the ability to promote the dining venues that have contracted with the service, through articles and other promotions in the WiZ Guide.
Like all show, online booking is here to stay, with people choosing it when it comes to booking at their favorite shop, as through it, they are provided with a rich range of possibilities and options, without delays and difficulties.
