Discount restaurant app plans to double Australian footprint within a year
The platform raised $10 million to expand its 50%-off dining offer. It will reach more Australian cities.
First Table lets diners book tables at restaurants during quiet hours. Diners get up to 50% off their food bill.
The platform now operates in 22 Australian cities. The platform has more than 1,500 restaurants and one million Australian users.
The funding round is backed by investors including Altered Capital and Icehouse Ventures. It will focus on Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
CEO Alex Cappy said the company expects to double in size in Australia over the next 12 months. This matches its growth from the past year.
Australians are dining out around 12% less often than before 2020. But they spend between 8% and 15% more per visit when they do.
