On Yandex.Maps, you can now book a table, sign up for a haircut or an appointment with a doctor.

Maps help people find the right address or create a route, and sometimes just navigate through space. This is the basic function of any cards, and it is pretty obvious. The Internet adds new features to it — for example, finding the right organizations and information about them. Now organizations can not only search, but also use their services - today Yandex.Maps have the opportunity to book a table in a restaurant, sign up for a haircut or an appointment with a doctor.

Thousands of organizations provide us with information about their services and working hours. Some of them transmit data in real time, so that the user sees which hours are free for recording. Moreover, by signing up to many beauty salons or hospitals, you can choose not only the time, but also the specific service and specialist you want to go to. (It’s not yet possible to choose a waiter in a restaurant, but we are always ready for experiments.) So far this opportunity is not available for all organizations and mainly in Moscow, but the development of service and coverage of other cities is only a matter of time.

Now, with the help of Yandex.Map, you can use the services of more than 10 thousand organizations in Moscow and more than two thousand - in St. Petersburg. In addition, the new functionality is available to residents of Novosibirsk, Omsk, Yekaterinburg and some other cities of Russia.
