Nigeria
has joined the league of countries where online search for best
places to wine and dine have been made easy with the launch of
Tomachy, a restaurant search and discovery web platform,
incorporating mobile app, currently listing information for over 20,
000 restaurants, bars, and nightclubs across 36 states and the
Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. This development was made known by
Charles Odibo, co-founder and CEO, and Segun Bright, co-founder,
Tomachy, in a media briefing in Lagos, recently.
According
to the founders, Tomachy will be used by consumers all over the
country to discover, rate and review restaurants, as well as create a
personal network of foodies for trusted recommendations. Odibo said:
“Tomachy is established to ensure that we make finding local
restaurants as easy as possible, and we shall intently focus on
driving restaurant transactions”. He said in addition to restaurant
search and discovery, Tomachy will expand its services to include
online ordering and table reservations thereby creating additional
offerings to connect restaurant businesses and customers in ways that
will revolutionise the restaurant industry in the country.
The
founders informed that Tomachy will also roll out end-to-end
technology for a comprehensive enterprise management system for
restaurants, including small local spots or exclusive fine dining
restaurants. This will be tools that will enable them to drive their
businesses to greater success by capturing new customers regularly,
and ensuring that regulars keep coming back Tomachy’s features
include photos and scanned menus because the founders believe these
are as important as reviews to a customer’s decision-making process
about where to eat. Reviews and ratings on Tomachy will be provided
by users.
Co-founder,
Odibo, anticipates a huge following because Nigeria is home to lots
of people who are passionate about food but look forward to great
places to wine and dine. Odibo also stated that the platform will
introduce a diversified marketing model which will enable restaurants
and cafes to regularly reach out to, connect with, and engage their
customers and prospects in a manner as has never been done.
