As Airbnb furthers its ambitions to expand into other sectors, the short-term rental site announced on Monday that it’s leading a USD 13 million Series A investment in Resy, a New York City-based dining reservations mobile App.
Founded in 2014, Resy is available in about 1,000 restaurants in 50 U.S. markets and states it has booked nearly 1.5 million seats per month for the past year.
In November, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky told attendees at the Airbnb Open in Los Angeles during the Airbnb Tripsannouncement that, “Soon, you’ll be able to book restaurant reservations directly through the Airbnb App … Resy and us are going to work together where you can book a restaurant reservation in cities around the world. Reservations will also include information about when to go and how it fits into your schedule.”
