NeoTaste is an app with which you can discover restaurants and cafes in your city.
We have managed to digitally bring together gastronomy and guests, which results in new advantages for both sides. Through NeoTaste, restaurateurs have the opportunity to optimize their utilization and acquire new customers.
NeoTaste is also a free marketing platform for restaurateurs, where customers can find the best deals at the coolest restaurants in town. The biggest added value for restaurateurs is that they don't have to offer the deals at any time of the day, but can set them individually adjusted to the usual occupancy.
So if the restaurant is completely full on a saturday evening, which is usually the case, NeoTaste users don't even have the option of booking a deal for that period and choose a time when experience shows that fewer guests are welcomed. NeoTaste users have a culinary overview of their city, as well as many cool deals, such as 2for1 main course, a free appetizer and much more!
But that's just the beginning. The vision of NeoTaste is bigger.
US, here we come! - Get to know the coolest hotspots of your city and be part of an exciting journey to turn an entire industry upside down!
