  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 3 — Seeking a table at Rembayung for dinner? Grab Dine Out makes it possible. Previously, the popular restaurant relied on Umai for reservations, but the system often crashed under heavy demand, causing long waits and double bookings that thwarted genuine customers. Khairul Aming, a local entrepreneur, teamed up with Grab to tackle this problem. Using Grab Dine Out, diners can now book tables for Rembayung at any time between 11am and 9pm. Like Umai, the reservation window allows for both short-term (two days in advance) and longer-term (up to two weeks in advance) bookings, with a maximum of eight people per session. However, unlike Umai, Grab Dine Out welcomes larger groups with a minimum of three people per booking and allows children and babies to be counted as one person. If a diner is late, the restaurant holds the table for only 15 minutes. Rembayung enforces strict policies against scalpers, prohibiting table swapping or transferring ownership. To make a reservation via Grab Dine Out, simply tap the \"Dine Out\" feature, search for \"Rembayung,\" select the date and number of guests, and complete the payment. This partnership aims to give genuine customers a fair chance at enjoying a meal at Rembayung.",
