So it’s pitching itself as the OpenTable.com of Jamaica. This soft launch is timely just ahead of Restaurant Week Jamaica which begins on November 13th-20th,2010 which covers 3 cities and offers a choice of menus and great prices across 60 Restaurants.
Welcomed service? yes. How well they’ll do, remains to be seen. They are not the first. In my mind it will be the execution and strong industry relationships with a dash of great timing that will make this work. MenuVenues.com has a great opportunity as the Jamaican restaurant industry has been growing leaps and bounds over the last 5 years and Jamaicans are indeed eating out more. Much success to them.
