First claimed,
first served.

Go live and you hear about it straight away when a table opens up at a restaurant around the corner, because someone cancelled or did not show. First to tap gets it.

How it works

  1. 18:40

    You go live

    You type in where you are, how many of you there are and from what time you are free. We do not use GPS, only the spot you give us.

  2. 18:52

    A table opens up

    Someone cancels or does not show. The restaurant puts the table on TableClaim and whoever is live nearest gets a notification first.

  3. 18:53

    First to tap gets it

    You pay €10 up front, so the restaurant knows you are really coming. That €10 comes off your bill at the restaurant, and you are seated by 19:40.

The notification

You see straight away which restaurant it is, for how many people and when you need to be there. Tap first and the table is yours; the restaurant sees your first name, so they recognise you at the door and can call you if something comes up.

  • You choose when you are free: for lunch, or tonight from a time you pick.
  • We only keep your spot while you are live, rounded to about a hundred metres.
  • If you miss three tables within a year, your account is paused for two weeks.

TableClaim for restaurants

When someone does not show, you release the table in a few taps: in the app on your phone, or in the browser on a laptop or iPad at the bar. You choose for how many people, where the table is and how long you hold it. People nearby hear about it right away, and you see who claims it, with their first name and phone number.

Three screens from the app. The restaurant releases a table for 2. A guest nearby sees the free table and claims it. The guest then gets a slip with the time to be seated by.

How we find a guest

Using your restaurant’s location and the guests’, we look for the best match. Whoever is close hears about it first, so they are at your table quickly too. If nobody taps, we look a little further each time.
