How does First Table work?
Participating restaurants list their first tables for breakfast, lunch or dinner on First Table, showing up to fourteen days of availability on our platform.
Diners are then rewarded with 50% off the food bill for dining at an off-peak time.

To secure 50% off the food bill, select your city and search through the available restaurants near you. Then select your date and time and lock in your First Table for a booking fee.

What’s in it for the restaurant?
Restaurants choose to join at their own discretion, to help fill empty tables and to create a buzz early into their service. That means what while you’re tucking into a sunny brunch or an elevated dinner for half the price, you're also helping restaurants start service strong.

Discover new restaurants!
Browse nearby restaurants to discover a hidden gem in your own backyard or lock in top-rated restaurants you’ve always wanted to try. Craving a particular meal? Restaurants are also searchable by restaurant name or cuisine.

What’s the catch?
There isn’t one - that’s the best part! First Table is a win-win for restaurants and diners alike. Restaurants get early customers through the door and diners get rewarded for dining at times that restaurants need them most.

By dining on First Table, you'll not only have a great excuse to connect with mates, dates and fellow foodies, but you'll also be supporting hospitality venues by dining at the times that they need you the most.

Have friends you’d love to dine with? You can even earn credit by sharing First Table with other foodies! Just grab your promo code from your profile, and you’ll both get your next restaurant booking fee half price.

Ratings and reviews

The restaurants are great... When you can book them! But the app is clunky. Really hard to search for places nearby... Need to know your suburbs and what's close. Rather than just going 'I want to book with a 5km radius' for example. Notifications come through SO often but for eateries in far distant lands. It's a cool concept but the app needs to be waaaaay smarter.

App is very easy to use. Just chose area and date, browse and book. The restaurant details also show any exemption or requirements eg must order a beverage - so no misunderstanding. Table times are generally pretty good, the usual time I would prefer anyway. We had no problems at the actual restaurant and our meal was of expected standard - no smaller portion or less of a service. What is there not to like?

Used once so far, and was very happy. Make sure you read the conditions before buying. Some neighborhoods have more restaurants than others. The app is mediocre though. When viewing the map, it will show all restaurants (which is nice when planning ahead), even those without availability. And if you switch back to the list, it's not just the area of the map you were looking at.

What's new
