Dining out and restaurant tech platform Dineout* is looking to expand its operations in India and overseas markets.

The company is currently operating in five countries across Asia and Africa including United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia & East Africa, with plans to foray into Indonesia and the Philippines in the future.

"We have seen great acceptance for our restaurant tech product across several key international markets including Asia and Africa, and are currently focused on introducing our integrated restaurant management offerings to many more in the coming months. Our goal is to build the first truly globally scalable food tech product out of India" said Ankit Mehrotra, founder & CEO - Dineout.

"Given the global food tech market is set to exceed $250 billion by 2022, global expansion is no longer an afterthought for firms that operate at a scale like ours. Discovering new markets has helped us continuously innovate to improve the dining experiences of food lovers from varied cultures across the world" Mehrotra added.

In India, Dineout is looking to expand to smaller towns and cities including Lucknow, Indore and Surat. The service is currently available in 11 cities across the country.

Earlier this week, ET reported that Dineout is also piloting differential menu pricing and in-restaurant food ordering, in a bid to expand its product offering beyond deal discovery, table reservations, and in-restaurant payments.
