First Table is New Zealand’s leading hospitality technology platform that connects its community of diners with restaurants around the world. With its innovative model, First Table rewards diners for dining early, with 50% off the food bill for two to four people (drinks are regular price), which in turn helps restaurants optimise revenue during off-peak hours.

There are now over 1,700 venues on the restaurant discovery platform globally, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner tables. Whether it’s a date night, working lunch or just an excuse to try that new restaurant everyone’s raving about, customers are spoilt for choice when it comes to discovering new dining experiences.

Mat Weir was inspired to create First Table after he dined at a restaurant in Queenstown offering 50% off the food bill when you booked the first table of the night. Realising the value of creating an atmosphere early on in a restaurant's service, Mat saw an opportunity to scale the simple win-win idea into a global marketplace. It's free and easy for restaurants to use, and the software fully integrates with seven major restaurant reservation systems.
