Chope is a real-time restaurant-reservation booking platform that connects diners with its partner restaurants. The name “Chope” was inspired by the term chope spoken colloquially in Singapore. Chope charges restaurants fixed and per-diner fees for the use of its table booking system.[1]
Chope was founded on June 15, 2011, with the intention of providing a real-time online service for the process of table reservations.[2]
At the time of its startup, restaurateurs and café owners had been known to be slow to adapt to technological advancements. However, aided by the rise in internet access, this trend has been slowly changing.[3] In July 2012, Chope announced that its application had grown to be used by over 1,000,000 diners.[4]
