This is How Apps Create a Better Dining Experience

Dining out simply isn’t the same anymore compared a few decades ago. Now that technology in the form of handheld devices have become more than for telecommunication and entertainment, you can be able to make use of your own to enhance your gastronomic adventures.

This digital age has initiated a shift in power from restaurants to the customers they serve. These days, you must be served the way you most desire or else your more than a thousand friends in social media will know how crappy the service of that restaurant is (even if it’s just made up). This is perhaps the greatest benefit consumers have gained by how mobile technology has revolutionized the restaurant industry. But more than that, let’s go down to the specifics. Take a look at these apps that can help you love dining out even more.

Picking a restaurant? Try Urbanspoon. If it so happens that you are so difficult to please when it comes to food just because you have discriminating taste buds, then you should do a research on your prospective restaurant ahead of time. With Urbanspoon, you will be able to see the menu of each restaurant beforehand and check the reviews of diners who use the app as well.

Making a reservation? Try OpenTable. The modernization of the restaurant business has brought in the reservation system through an app using a smartphone. OpenTable enables its users to make a reservation far in advance or just by impulse. It tells you if the restaurants within the proximity have openings so you can be able to book with just a tap of your finger.

Ordering in? Try GrubHub. If you don’t have the luxury of time to enjoy the ambiance of the place, indulge on the sumptuous food, and not to mention wait for the food to be served in front of your midst, then you better place an order in advance to save you of your precious time. The Grubhub app has a network of over 25,000 restaurants across the U.S., which lets you order the food head on so you can just pick it up for takeout.

Paying the bill? Try Tabbedout. Some people are just easily bewildered by numbers. And if you are one of them who tries to evade even the most simple of maths in your daily living, including when paying your bill, then you should definitely get hold of this app. Tabbedout figures out how much each person in the table owes; plus, it already calculates the tip for you. You can be able to pay your bill even before the check is served to you. It currently works in 5,000 restaurants all over the U.S.

Following a diet plan? Try HealthyOut. Eating out is fun and so satisfying, but if you let yourself indulge too much, you might be ruining your diet. With HealthyOut, all you have to do is register your type of diet into it, and it will present you with a list of approved dishes at restaurants that you will suit your preference. This app can also possibly save your life because it gives you a heads up according to the food allergies you have registered in it.
