foodline.com, Inc., the leading provider of diner information and reservation management technology solutions to the restaurant industry, and Evite.com, the first free Web-based service for coordinating and planning activities of all types, today announced a strategic marketing and distribution agreement. To further simplify the process of organizing offline activities online, the two companies have agreed to create a co-branded page from which users can access foodline.com’s pace-setting online restaurant reservation technology on Evite.com.
The partnership allows users to plan all aspects of an event online, from retrieving restaurant information and booking the reservation to sending the invitations and managing the guest list, with just a few easy steps. Evite.com will license a portion of foodline.com’s proprietary editorial content, such as restaurant descriptions and details, to make it even easier and more convenient for its users to plan activities online. In the future, the companies are planning to incorporate Evite.com’s group invitation service into foodline.com.
