NEWS: First Table's 9pm rollover is here 🚀
February 2025
It's now easier to score those early-bird dining spots!
Previously, the race to snag a First Table began at midnight, with each restaurant’s availability added for the week ahead when the clock struck 12 ⏰
Now, First Table availability now rolls over at 9pm (instead of midnight) ⏰🥳
We've now made it easier to score those early-bird dining spots with a more convenient 9pm release. That’s right – now you can secure your First Table without the midnight scramble.
No more midnight refreshes for next week's restaurant availability. Now, you can secure your First Table booking while winding down for the evening, just after dinner 😉
Why our 9pm rollover is a game-changer?
It means more time to plan that perfect mid-week treat, a special date night, or a weekend get-together. No more battling late-night crowds – browse restaurants, check menus, and relax while you lock in your booking at a good early hour!
This change puts you in the driving seat, giving you a head start on planning your next culinary adventure.
And the best part?
The First Table offer is just as epic. When you book the first table of the evening, you still get that unbeatable 50% off the food bill for two to four diners. It's the perfect way to explore the vibrant dining scene without breaking the bank.
With this new rollover time, you can easily add it to your evening routine. So, whether you are a seasoned First Table user or a newbie, this is a great time to start.
Set those reminders for 9pm (or 8.57pm for those keen beans), and be the first to grab a First Table ⏰🚀
