Chope
Chope is a real time restaurant-reservation booking platform which connects diners with its partner restaurants. The name “Chope” was inspired by the term chope spoken colloquially in Singapore. The means to online reservation include the company’s website, mobile applications, and plug-ins for restaurant websites and Facebook pages.〔("Chope Group" ), ''crunchbase''.

==History==
Founded on 15 June 2011, Chope was inspired by the idea of making the restaurant reservation process simpler, seeking to address the problem of placing restaurant reservations through phone calls that could normally only be done during operating hours. Chope overcomes this limitation by providing a real-time online service for the process of table reservations. Chope was only able to secure a dozen reservations in its first week.〔TAE Team (July 2014). ("Interview with Ariff Zaiudeen" ). Retrieved on 8 April 2015〕
Chope builds on the trends of innovation in technology advances and the evolution of business concepts. At the time of its startup, restaurateurs and café owners had been known to be slow to adapt to technology advancements. However, aided by the rise in 3G and WiFi internet access, this trend had been slowly changing.〔("Four up-and-coming trends in the restaurant business" ).''Tech in Asia''. Retrieved on 8 April 2015〕
