First Table is the #1 restaurant booking app in New Zealand

We’re proud to say that First Table has earned its place as New Zealand’s #1 restaurant booking app, and as an app folks genuinely love.

Back in 2014, we started with a simple idea: fill restaurants’ early tables and reward diners for showing up first. Fast-forward a decade, and that idea has turned into something pretty special, one that we’re completely proud of.

The favourite restaurant booking app for Kiwis

We’re proud to be the #1 restaurant booking app on iOS and Google Play, with thousands of happy reviews from our fantastic community. When Kiwis want to discover a new restaurant, this is where they come first.

Let’s look at the numbers:

• We’re ranked as the #1 restaurant booking app on both iOS and Google Play

• 4.9 stars with 1,700+ amazing reviews on the iOS App Store

• Over 100,000 downloads and 4.6 stars with 2,400+ glowing reviews on Google Play

• And we’re the #1 restaurant booking platform by web traffic

We’ve reached this point in just three years since launching the app. It’s been an incredible ride, and we owe it to our partner restaurants and the diners who trust us to give them a unique dining experience.

New Zealand’s first stop when booking a table

We’ve come a long way from that first idea in Queenstown, but our mission hasn’t changed: make dining out easier, more exciting, and a little more rewarding.

We’re lucky enough to have over 1,200 restaurants and over 880,000 diners on board in New Zealand, making us the country’s biggest dining community.

In fact, over the past decade, we’ve seated more than five million diners across New Zealand, Australia, and the UK during off-peak times, supporting local restaurants, reducing empty tables, and making nights out that much better.

First Table is where great dining starts

The numbers are exciting, but what really matters to us is the impact. Helping support local businesses and bringing people together over unforgettable meals and shared moments? That’s our real win (we’re still proud of the numbers, though).

From Auckland to Queenstown, Wellington, and even across the ditch to Australia and the UK, you’ll find First Table at the heart of great dining.

So next time you’re planning a night out, start where New Zealand starts: First Table.
