With its new Reserve product, YoDeals is transitioning away from being just a daily deals site.

 

Diners can use YoDeals Reserve to book tables at fancy restaurants for a discounted rate (up to 40 percent), no pre-payment required. For restaurant-owners, it’s an opportunity to fill tables on slow nights, a big boost for business. Well-known eateries like Le Cirque in New York City, Chaya Brasserie in Los Angeles, and db Bistro Moderne in Miami have already signed up.

YoDeals Reserve was first tested on consumers in Chicago in May. The product has been under development for about a year and is part of the impetus behind the acquisition of Savored.com, a New York-based reservations and dining discount startup. The program will use Savored.com’s reservations engine.

 

With this new product, YoDeals is targeting well-heeled consumers with spending power. In a statement, the Chicago-based company described Reserve as a destination for the “finest things to eat, see, do, and buy.”
