On October 6th, Ekiten, a store review and ranking website operated by Design One Japan Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Yasuo Takabatake, TSE First Section 6048), released a new feature that makes it easier for stores using Ekiten Online Reservations to manually register reservations.
■ What is the manual reservation registration function for Ekiten online reservations?
In addition to making reservations via Ekiten, Ekiten Online Reservation also has a function to register reservations received verbally or over the phone (manual reservation registration function).
Until now, when manually registering a reservation, the required fields were the date of visit, length of stay, phone number, name (full name), and gender, so stores requested that they "just reserve the date in advance without the hassle" and "make it easier to register reservations."
In response to requests from stores, we have updated the manual reservation registration function. Inputting phone number, name, and gender is now optional, and manual reservation registration is now easy by simply inputting the date of visit and length of stay.
■ Background of the update
As of September, the number of reservations made using the manual reservation registration function has reached approximately 400,000*, which shows that stores are also using Ekiten Online Reservations as a reservation ledger. Ekiten has updated the function, believing that being able to immediately register customer reservations received in-store or over the phone will lead to smooth store operations. *Cumulative number of manually registered reservations from March to September 2020
