How does First Table work?
To score the deal for yourself, find a restaurant, select your date and time and book a First Table to save 50% off the food bill for two, three or four people. Participating restaurants list their first tables for breakfast, lunch or dinner – showing seven days of availability on our platform.
What’s in it for the restaurant?
Restaurants choose to join at their own discretion, to help fill empty tables and to create an ambiance early into their service. That means that while you’re tucking into a half-price brunch or boujee-on-a-budget dinner, you’re also doing them a favour.
Discover new restaurants!
Browse nearby restaurants to discover a hidden gem in your own backyard or lock in top-rated restaurants you’ve always wanted to try. Craving a particular meal? Restaurants are also searchable by restaurant name or cuisine.
What’s the catch?
There isn’t one - that’s the best part! First Table is a win-win for restaurants and diners alike. Restaurants get early customers through the door and diners get rewarded for dining at times that restaurants need them most.
By dining on First Table, you'll not only have a great excuse to connect with mates, dates and fellow foodies, but you'll also be supporting hospitality venues by dining at the times that they need you the most.
We’re all about putting down the phone and picking up the fork. Some of the best memories we have with the people we love are made around the dinner table, and we’re here to make those memories a regular occurrence rather than a special occasion.
Have friends you’d love to dine with? You can even earn credit by sharing First Table with other foodies! Just grab your promo code from your profile, and you’ll both get your next restaurant booking fee half price.

First Table FAQ
Is First Table free?
Yes, First Table is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is First Table legit?
✅ The First Table app appears to be high-quality and legitimate. Users are very satisfied.
The idea of using empty tables when restaurants/cafes just open their doors everyday is amazing. I’ve used this app to book 3 places and we indeed got food for 50% less prices. The app is very easy to use and every rule is written carefully on it. Just follow the rules and enjoy your discounted meals. I want to say a big thank you to the developer!
Fabulous App
I have used the First Table App now for about one year and never cease to be amazed by the variety and quality of the restaurant's that are to be found on here. Nearly every week there are new restaurants added and for nearly all major locations, even suburbs of the big cities are on there. Several restaurants are also doing last table on this App, which is an added bonus if you can’t get a early table due to commitments etc.
I have used this app in Queenstown at a 5 Star restaurant and only had to purchase one beverage per person to be eligible for the 50% off of all food, which was possibly one of the best meals I have ever eaten. I took my granddaughter with me for a treat while we were on holiday and it was superb. I mainly use it in Wellington, but will definitely use it on my next trips to Auckland and Christchurch.
I believeI must have saved hundreds, possibly even a thousand dollars this year alone, by using the App and I cannot recommend it highly enough!!

Very handy App.
We have had several meals at different very good restaurants and saved money every time. I just search the App and pick a new place to go and book it. The restaurants always know that we are First Table, and it makes no difference to the quality and service that we get. It’s a great way to experience top quality food at half the price.
Great app
no fuss and easy to use. rules clearly outlined before you book, so you know what to expect.
had great many meals on first table on half price when trying out new restaurants to see if they are really good.
Update
We love your app, but please go back to the previous version before the update.
AMAZING!!
Such a great app. The discount is fantastic- gives the opportunity to try dinning at new places with such a great discount. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to save money while dinning out.
Awesome experience
I was told about this app from a friend and thought there must be a catch.
No catch just great food and at 50% off all food makes it affordable for us to take the family out for tea once a fortnight. We took the kids to biggies last week and it ended up costing less than when we would buy takeaway pizza but the food was amazing. Definitely better quality.
I am currently at the end of my pregnancy and any night I don’t have to cook is a win for me. The app was easy to use. I had accidentally booked for the wrong night when I didn’t have the kids and got a full refund after someone else booked in for that same day and time which made it all hassle free
Such a great idea

Update filters
The filters don’t work, if I select a day I expect to see the day only as it’s a filter, but unfortunately it doesn’t do that and presents an entire week still. If this could be looked at that would be great :) but the app is great!!
Great find
We used Table First and found an awesome restaurant. Had great food and service.
