TripAdvisor has announced the acquisition of Dimmi, the leading online restaurant reservation platform in Australia.
Founded in 2009, Dimmi has a network of over 2,500 bookable restaurants across Australia and allows diners to discover and book a restaurant based on preferred location, availability, price, type of cuisine and diner reviews.
Since 2009, Dimmi has seated more than 11 million Australian diners at restaurants ranging from fine-dining establishments to casual suburban eateries. Some of the country’s hottest restaurants such as Ester, Bondi Icebergs, Tetsuya’s, Rockpool, Cutler & Co, Flower Drum, Smith & Daughters, Esquire, Restaurant Orana and Co-Op Dining are all featured on the platform.
“We are excited to welcome Dimmi to the TripAdvisor family,” said Stephen Kaufer, president and CEO, TripAdvisor. “Australia is an important market for us. Combining Dimmi’s national restaurant network with
TripAdvisor’s local and global community of travellers will allow us to deliver more seated diners to Australian restaurateurs, and help more TripAdvisor users book a great dining experience in Australia.”
The Dimmi team will continue to operate from the company’s headquarters in Sydney.
