Tabelog, a Japanese restaurant search and booking platform, opened a mini program on a major Chinese communication app ‘WeChat,’ which has more than 1.3 billion users in China. The program enables Chinese visitors to Japan to search and book a restaurant in Japan on WeChat.
WeChat Pay is available as a one of the payment methods. ‘Only seat booking’ requires a certain amount of deposit to avoid no-show. ‘Course meal booking,’ which will be available this summer, can accept pre-payment.
Tabelog is upgrading the mini program from a longterm perspective to provide Chinese users with better experiences in traveling in Japan.
