Multiplied Media Corporation ("Multiplied" or the "Company")(TSX
VENTURE: MMC), a leading provider of mobile local search services,
is pleased to announce an agreement to integrate toptable, Europe's
number one online restaurant booking service, into the Poynt
application.
Poynt is a convenient and timesaving GPS-enabled application
that connects consumers to local businesses, restaurants and movie
theaters at the moment they want to buy or acquire products or
services. Poynt gives consumers the ability to move beyond
discovery of their local area.
toptable is Europe's number one online dining community and
restaurant booking service featuring thousands of bookable
restaurants across the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe. The
addition of toptable's service will enhance the existing restaurant
section in Europe with the ability to book restaurants, read the
views and ratings of other diners and take advantage of restaurant
offers.
"Adding the ability to make dining reservations will greatly
enhance the Poynt user's experience in Europe," said Andrew Osis,
CEO, Multiplied Media. "We are looking forward to launching this
service with toptable."
Chris Wood, Managing Director, commented, "We are delighted to
be working with Multiplied Media and that toptable content will be
integrated into their successful Poynt application which is
available across most of Europe."
The availability of toptable listings in Poynt is anticipated
for later this fall.
