Zomato, among India's biggest internet companies, has acquired data firm MaplePOS to expand beyond restaurant reviews, into online table reservations and payment, a top executive said on Tuesday.

Zomato, which is present in 22 countries including the United States, said MaplePOS, now 'Zomato Base', would be a database of customer details. It will also help online transactions, inventory management and in generating e-receipts.

"We are getting into table reservations and online ordering, so you need a very strong hold into the tech that our users need," Chief Executive Deepinder Goyal told Reuters.
