We will join with 9 other startups in Echelon 2011 Satellite Event this week. We will try introduce RServe new concept with 4 components that build for this platform. The event will held at FX Jakarta this Friday 29 April 2011 on 1pm.

Please find our guest post on Daily Social about our experiences on Singapore Seedcamp. We hope that other Indonesia startups could learn from our experiences and can get benefit from it. 

We registered on Sparxup award on “Best Use of Technology” category. So to get in to the battle, we plan to develop a mobile app application using PhoneGap framework that will show how the mobile reservation made through RServe.

We will share the mobile app source code so other developer can use it as references to use RServe API and build their own reservation app for their client. 

We just got a permission from one of biggest shuttle service in Bandung - Jakarta, Daytrans to use their business as our first case. This will help us to show how our online reservation work with RServe. 

We will keep you update with our development.

Like we mention before that RServe was selected to join on Singapore Seedcamp event and  we just back yesterday. There are lot of things and idea that we got from this event. Met with awesome people from big company like Google, Yahoo, and Amazon really excited for us. They gave us advice, idea, and directed us to the right way. How to make better movement and business plan for RServe. So these are some of our plan after we back from Seedcamp:

1. We will working on API and push server first so we can get feedback from other developers how to explore other potential from reservation business.
2. We focus on one business and expand to other business one by one so we can show how actually RServe implemented on real world.
3. Our thought is we will try on shuttle bus service first because it’s currently the hottest business right now specially in Bandung.

You can see some of pictures from Singapore Seedcamp event at Seedcamp flicker account and read the post review at Seedcamp blog.

We will share our experience on Seedcamp on Daily Social. We also join another start up competision called Sparxup. This is will be our next challange and show how RServe could make reservation better.

I want to share our happiness with you all , because RServe is the only one start up from Indonesia that selected to join with other start up from around Asia on mini seed camp event at Singapore. We are proud of it. The event will held on Singpore Management University on 5-8 October 2010. So can’t wait to show that Indonesia have a big potential in start up industry.

Like we already mention before that we use MongoDB as our database. Why? Many people will think that because the MongoDb is faster, and easy to scaleable. Yeah we like it’s performance and scalability. But the our main reason to pick schema free DB instead schema DB is it’s ability to insert any format of data in to one record. No schema means no restriction how your data should formated.

Why schema free is important for RServe? Because we plan to support many business type. Different business type usually come with different data on reservation. We want to support RServe user to able embed custom data in their reservation data. If you already use WordPress you can see how custom field used in post to extend post functionality in WordPress.

So if you will join with RServe, this is a great news for you because you can embed any data to your reservation data. For example, you want your customer to input their facebook ID, or their job? It’s easily with RServe, because you only need custom input field and embed it in your reservation form and we will store it with your reservation data without change anything in our database.

May be this explanation still confusing you a little bit. You will see how simple and easy reservation happen with RServe. Thanks.

Today I got mention on Twitter about RServe. Then I found that Daily Social wrote an article in their website about RServe. Wiku, who wrote the article has interviewed me via email about RServe, and I like to saw his post which describe about RServe very well. 

This post boosting my motivation to finish the prototype soon. For all of you, who just come to this blog, hope this post could help you to know about RServe. Just leave your comment or email us if you need more information about RServe.

We are working on user interface right now, and we choose JQuery UI for our UI framework. JQuery UI natively support by Yii Framework so it’s easier to implement it using Yii Framework. 

FYI, we plan to provide reservation UI for 3 different platforms which are web, mobile phone(iphone) and tablet pc (ipad). We choose iphone and ipad as sample devices for our RServe due on it’s popularity.

In our imagination, some popular restaurant and cafe will write your name in their waiting list using an ipad with RServe application. And you will able to reserve your self without directly talk to their waiters. Isn’t interesting for you? 

What do you think? You can leave your comment here. What your expectation from RServe that can help you to make reservation at your favorite hotel and restaurant?

We use MongoDb as our database engine. Currently, there is no component for MongoDb yet in Yii Framework. We use Yii Framework as our PHP framework to build the RServe app. So we write our own component for MongoDb in Yii Framework. 

Finally, our MongoDb component for Yii Framework has done yesterday. And we start to use it for RServe. It’s just a basic ORM to wrap MongoDb collection in to a basic model which use in MVC pattern. We will update it soon and share it to Yii Framework community.

Yeah, our website at http://rserve.me has done. It just an a basic website build on pure HTML, JS, and CSS without any server side code. Our goal is to provide you an information about RServeMe. So you can figure out how the RServeMe work, how it can help your business, and how the developer can integrate the current system.

The next step is continue the development for our web app. Basically we want to provide a web app to show how it will work. You can use it also for reservation with all merchant account. So you don’t need to build your own app first to use our platform.

Hope you enjoy our website and it’s can help you to figure out how we can serve your business.
