Amazon invests in SevenRooms with the Alexa Fund
Amazon announced on Wednesday that it has invested in SevenRooms — a hospitality startup that specializes in restaurant software — via its Alexa Fund.
According to SevenRooms founder and CEO Joel Montaniel, integrating Alexa technology into the company’s platform will allow it to both let customers make reservations and enable waitstaff to ask for help in the dining room.
It’s another use case for Alexa as Amazon looks for new avenues to apply its voice-assistant technology outside of the home.
