Our Client ManxDining.im Celebrates Launch


Sara Stine Bauerlund, founder of ManxDining.im 


Over 60 people attended the launch of new business ManxDining.im

New local start-up ManxDining.im celebrated the launch of its dynamic new service at a preview event on Monday 16th April.

The web service developed by ManxDining.im aims to make it easy for people to choose and book restaurants and order takeaways online, as well as bring greater visibility and access for local restaurateurs.

The fledgling business has already received fantastic feedback about the platform with over 20 restaurants and takeaways signing up pre-launch including L'Experience, The Mailbox, Isola, Delizia, The Liverpool Arms, Portofino, HQ Bar & Restaurant, The Lime Tree, JAR Restaurant, Pizza King & Baileys Pizza, with many more in the pipeline.

ManxDining.im provides a central place to visit for dining options and is expected to be of particular value for visitors to the Island.

People can visit ManxDining.im to view and search restaurant options, cuisine types and menus, make bookings and find out about special offers, theme nights or entertainment at restaurants.
   
Founder of ManxDining.im Sara Stine Bauerlund explains: “The idea behind ManxDining.im is to meet the needs of the discerning diner and make it easier for restaurants and foodies to connect.  We have improved significantly upon other similar platforms, bringing many advantages for users.

When I lived in Copenhagen and London, I often booked tables at restaurants and ordered takeaway meals through different websites. There was no website that offered all services so I decided to launch my own with all the functionality people need in one place. This also helps support local businesses and the Isle of Man has been the ideal place to launch the model initially.”

Chris Tompkins, manager of HQ Bar & Restaurant says of the new service “ManxDining.im improves our guest reservation management process. No matter who takes the reservation, we can now quickly identify regulars and ensure proper tracking of special preferences every time.”

Isle of Man Business Centre hosted the event, which was attended by over 60 local food businesses, members of the local business community and representatives from the Department of Economic Development, including Economic Development Minister John Shimmin MHK.

The development and start-up of ManxDining.im has been supported by Isle of Man Business Incubator and The McKenzie Trust.
