MyDateNight was conceived to simplify planning a date night by helping couples explore and arrange several parts of an evening, including theatres, hotels, restaurants and bars, through one website.
Ficode designed and developed the entire web platform from scratch, combining hotel booking, theatre booking and seat selection, restaurant reservations, online payments, customer accounts, social sharing and a back-office system for bookings and content.
Making multi-service bookings simpler for customers
The client needed one user-friendly platform that could bring together hotels, theatres and restaurants—services normally booked through different providers. The solution also needed customer accounts, online payments, streamlined administration and the flexibility to support multiple external systems.
