Taiwan’s EZTable Eyes Expansion in Singapore and HongKong
An online restaurant reservation site isn’t the most innovative idea. But if we were to stand
back and observe, this simple service is dearly and clearly missing in many countries. Alex
Chen, CEO and founder of EZTable, is one who has spotted this missing gap in Taiwan.

Taiwan based startup, EZTable is an easytouse online restaurant reservation site. Users can
book a restaurant in just three steps. What’s most impressive is that EZTable provides a wide
range of restaurants from various locations in Taiwan for users to choose from. To add on to
the user experience, EZTable also provides information such as transportation, dinning
reviews, promotions and blog articles on the selected restaurant.
It isn’t just about filling a market need. Chen’s love for food and convenience have also inspired
him to create EZTable to better serve food lovers in Taiwan.
“I love restaurant food. During my time at UCLA, California, I always reserve my restaurant
spot online. It just makes the whole dining experience better and more convenient,” Chen told
Penn Olson.
“Taiwan is wellknown for its food culture. However, I realized there wasn’t such a service back
in the country. Taiwan deserves a better and more convenient online service platform to
connect restaurants and diners together. EZTable was founded to serve such needs,” he added.
Chen is right with his observation. EZTable currently has more than 100,000 regular users with
350 restaurants for diners to choose from. EZTable generates over 15,000 reservations per
month and is looking to reach out to more diners through its mobile applications. The grand
plan, however, is its upcoming international expansion plan.
“This summer we will also expand to Hong Kong and Singapore and hopefully EZTable can add
some more great restaurants internationally,” said Chen. It is exciting time ahead for EZTable
and we’ll update as we learn more from Chen.
