Introduction

Restaurant reservation API for online booking systems

eTender Connect is a restaurant reservation platform for third party booking systems.

Your booking system can access the real time availability of restaurants and create/modify online table reservations - using an access key (token). Please contact the restaurant to get an access key. In order to use a single access key for multiple restaurants, please contact us.
