Korean food-tech startup Ward, the operator of ‘Catch Table,’ a real-time restaurant reservation platform, has completed a series C investment of 30 billion won ($24 million). Catch Table is a real-time restaurant reservation platform introduced by three NHN members, including CEO Yong Tae-soon. By launching a timeline service, the community function has been strengthened, allowing users to record and share their gastronomic experiences and check the reviews of friends and influencers and even visited restaurants. Catch Table CEO Yong Tae -soon said, “Through this investment, Catch Table will strive to create a more advanced service with convenient reservations, various curation, and community reach.” Hee-Eun Park, partner of Altos Ventures, who led this investment, said, “The capacity of domestic chefs is increasing, the number of people who enjoy gourmet food, and the base of the fine-dining market is expanding. Efficiency is urgently needed.” He said, “Catch Table brings high efficiency in restaurant operation through an integrated reservation solution and gives consumers a real-time reservation experience like never before.” He added, “I decided to make this investment to expect that Catch Table will serve as a bridgehead in the future as global interest in Korean food culture is growing.” Meanwhile, Catch Table is recruiting across all occupational groups, including data engineers, data scientists, server (JAVA) developers, UI/UX designers, service planners, and marketing.
