Next - Book a byte for dinner

Thanks to Jeremy Hague down at Skylook for digging this one out- it's a story that I wrote for Next a few weeks back, but thought had never made it to the online version. The story is about a company called Menulog, which may be on the verge of bringing technology to a group that has never really caught the IT wave - restaurateurs. Need to confess straight up that there are two errors in this one - the number of restaurants listed is only 17,000 (not 170,000), and the service does not charge consumers $2 per booking - that fee goes to the restaurateur, who can pass it along if they like ... Regardless, for time poor folk who love to eat out, the service is definitely worth a look. You can check out the story here.
