First Table

What is First Table?

First Table helps restaurants attract early diners by offering them 50% off their food bill in exchange for booking the first table of the service.

• Increase early visitor numbers
• Create buzz and visibility
• Attract new diners who may not have otherwise found you

✅ You stay in control. Guests pay a small booking fee to First Table, not you. ✅ You deliver your standard menu and service – no special menus or limited options.

This integration is completely free and helps you fill tables during off-peak hours.

NOTE: The integration is available in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

The integration between First Table and Resos guarantees that all bookings from First Table are automatically synced to your Resos calendar. No need for manual entry or juggling platforms – the guest is confirmed in your system immediately.

🕒 Avoid double bookings. 📅 See First Table reservations directly in your schedule. ✅ Fully automated. No cost. No added work.

What does it cost?

This is where First Table really shines for restaurants:

🔍 Pricing breakdown:

Restaurants:

• You do not pay to be listed on First Table.

• You do not pay any commission on bookings.

• You simply offer a 50% discount on food only for the first table at specific times.

• You decide when and how often the offer is available (e.g., Monday–Thursday, 5:30pm only).

Diners:

• Diners pay a booking fee directly to First Table to reserve the discounted table.

• This fee covers the entire party (up to 4 people) and goes entirely to First Table, not to the restaurant.

• Diners get 50% off food only – drinks and extras are charged at regular price.

So while the diner pays a small fee to access a discount, you, the restaurant, gain new traffic without any setup or platform cost.

NOTE: The First Table integration itself is free, but it relies on Resos API access, which is a paid add-on available on any of our paid plans.
