Yelp Acquires SeatMe To Further Reach Into Restaurants

Yelp — the restaurant rating service that has come under fire of late for hounding store-owners to pay for good reviews — acquired SeatMe to add to its review service. SeatMe is an OpenTable-like service that allows customers to make restaurant reservations online; the news comes after Yelp also announced its entrance into the food delivery industry. Yelp hopes that this deal will enhance the customer experience further, allowing Yelp to be a one-stop shop for the restaurant business.
