A new, online magazine for and about businesses of all sizes, in Edinburgh and beyond
Restaurant-discovery platform, First Table, which has a presence in nine locations across the UK, is now launching in Edinburgh. From 9 April, diners here can take advantage of the platform’s offer of 50 per cent off the food bill for two, three or four guests, as a reward for dining at an off-peak time.
Sign-up is free, and diners pay a booking fee of between £4 to £8 to secure the offer. The discount does not apply to drinks.
Mat Weir, chief executive and founder of First Table said: "First Table is all about helping people discover great new restaurants, and we’re excited to introduce our concept to Edinburgh. After all, the city is ranked among the top food destinations in the UK.”
He added: “Becoming a restaurant partner is completely free; there are no sign-up fees or commission, just great exposure. The platform connects our restaurant partners with diners looking for somewhere to dine out, making it easier for foodies to try new spots and for restaurants to be discovered.”
Among the restaurants joining on 9 April is Laila, which has branches on Cockburn Street in the Old Town, and on Antigua Street, in the New Town. Laila is owned and operated by Edinburgh-based directors Sabrina Gali and Lisa Cairns:
"We’re thrilled to bring Laila to First Table diners and join as a restaurant partner from day one," said Sabrina: "It’s a no-brainer for us to be on the platform and offer our off-peak tables.”
First Table, which also launches in Glasgow on 9 April, started up in Queenstown, New Zealand and is also available in Australia, as well as across the UK. The platform has over 2,500 restaurants and two million foodies in its community worldwide.
The First Table app can be downloaded from the Google Play store or the Apple app store.
