Restaurant-tech startup Quandoo has taken $8 million in funding. The cash comes from DN Capital and Holtzbrinck Ventures.

The online restaurant reservation software challenges incumbent OpenTable and includes tools for yield management and cashier counters.

The funding will be used to grow Quandoo’s presence in Europe.

“We have had an extremely exciting 2013, having brought the first restaurant onto our platform in April we are already serving more than 1,200 local merchants across five countries,” said Philipp Magin, CEO and founder of Quandoo, in a statement on the funding.
