More on the menu for Dineplan customers
T
here is now more on the menu for Dineplan customers while
making a restaurant booking on-the-go. South Africa’s
first instant restaurant booking app now enables customers to
find special offers in their area, ideal for patrons looking for an
affordable night out.
Dineplan enables customers to browse and instantly make restaurant
reservations according to current location, availability, name, area,
specific cuisines or even by customer ratings. The new feature also
enables customers to search and view special offer menus as well.
Bluegrass Digital, a digital solutions business with over 20 years of
international experience, was approached to develop the app and
used the latest mobile development technology called React Native.
“We have developed six applications in React Native to date and
have extensive experience with bookings platforms and workflow –
creating an optimised experience for both the business as well as the
end-user,” said Bluegrass Managing Director Nick Durrant.
“We help guide clients like Dineplan through the entire process –
from inception, design and implementation to testing and app store
deployment. We work closely with all stakeholders through regular
workshops, stand-ups and our agile and iterative designs processes to
involve our clients in every step of the project.”

Paratus showcases its satellite
offering at the Ghanzi Show
T
he highly popular satellite service from Paratus Botswana was
a huge attraction at the 45th Ghanzi Show. The annual event
has around 300 exhibitors and attracts nearly 5,000 daily visitors
from Botswana and its neighbouring countries such as South
Africa and Namibia.
“Providing services across Africa is made possible through our own
satellite hubs, which we own and operate.”
Paratus Africa provides satellite services to more than 20 African
countries through its own satellite hubs located in Angola, Namibia
and South Africa and a broad reseller network across the continent.
The satellite service was demonstrated via a unique satellite-on-a-
trailer build that was conceptualised and manufactured by Paratus
Namibia. The trailer contains a collapsible satellite dish that can be set
up onsite to provide access to any Internet-related service including
direct Internet access, email, cloud, payment systems and much more.
“Our satellite-on-a-trailer exhibition was a huge attraction at the
event, we were overwhelmed by the interest shown,” said Paratus
Botswana Managing Director Shawn Bruwer.
“This also shows that we are not merely box-dropping solutions
to our clients. We take their needs seriously by designing and
developing special products for our rural clients.
