Time Out, which has expanded from a listings magazine into a global digital media and e-commerce group in recent years, has also begun to open food markets. It has one in Lisbon and has plans for London and New York.

Mr Bruno added: “For Time Out this is a strategic investment in the future of our mobile B2B solutions for enterprise and hospitality clients.

“We believe it will enable us to integrate more closely with partners in the leisure and hospitality space and this will allow us to monetise businesses - one of our key strategic objectives.”
