Following the successful launch of Groupon Reserve earlier
this month, Groupon (http://www.groupon.com)

to the Groupon mobile app. Starting today, iPhone users can use the
Groupon mobile app to book tables at some of the best restaurants in
their city at discounts of up to 40 percent.

Groupon’s latest iPhone app update provides consumers with immediate
access to make, view, share and modify restaurant reservations in the 10
existing Groupon Reserve markets: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los
Angeles, Miami, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco and
Washington, D.C. Future inventory on Reserve will include offerings from
top beauty, product, travel and entertainment brands, as well as similar
reservations capabilities for spas, salons and hotels.
"Since the launch of Reserve, we have seen a significant increase in
bookings, and adding the capability to the Groupon mobile app will make
it even easier for more customers to reserve a great dining experience
at some of the best restaurants in their city," said Ben McKean, general
manager of Groupon Reserve reservations. “Reserve on mobile gives our
customers even more options for great things to do wherever they are.”
The Reserve reservations platform gives customers a discount off their
entire check without requiring pre-payment or vouchers. In addition, it
provides local businesses an important tool to drive traffic during slow
periods by utilizing flexible pricing.
Groupon plans to add Groupon Reserve functionality to Android devices
and the iPad, as well as launch Reserve in more cities in the United
States and key international markets.
Consumers can download the highly-rated Groupon iPhone app, recently
cited by Apple as one of the "Top 25 All-Time Free Apps," by visiting http://www.groupon.com/mobile.
