Company profile
researched Aug 2026Apparta_ runs a Spanish-language online restaurant reservation service at apparta.co, where diners log in or register with a mobile phone number and confirm a verification code, which can be delivered via WhatsApp. Users select their city to tailor the experience, then browse curated restaurant collections including recommendations for dining tonight, popular venues, best-rated venues, newly added venues, brunch spots, and category rankings such as top five pizzerias, burger restaurants and taquerías.
The site also markets restaurant-facing functionality: a "Registrar mi restaurante" path for venues to list themselves, an "Apparta Bookings" offering that provides access to exclusive tables, and a trust seal applied to selected restaurants.
