Our very own Head of Growth for Victoria, Maurizio Vasile, recently caught up with Nico Mackintosh, Sales and Marketing Manager at Shadow Play by Peppers in Melbourne. Nico shared how First Table has helped transform Edwin Wine Bar & Cellar's early dining experience, from the initial challenge of attracting diners to early tables to now successfully generating increased revenue during previously quiet times. 🎥 Watch the video below to hear their story. #FirstTableSuccess #HospitalityGrowth #ClientStories

About us
First Table is a restaurant discovery platform and marketing company. We're connecting a global community of over 1,600,000 passionate foodies to over 2000 restaurants (and counting) in 50 cities across New Zealand, Australia and the UK. First Table has a unique value proposition for the world’s best-in-breed, high-quality restaurants. We deliver serious value with a proven new approach and investment in highly effective marketing campaigns, in addition to the impact seen locally from our burgeoning community of avid diners. Restaurants who deserve greater presence can benefit from amplifying their reputation online – and let us do all the legwork – for free. Our platform allows a restaurant to leverage otherwise empty early tables by providing First Table's community with a standard 50% off of the food bill (limited to two to four diners) with drinks at regular price. This is in exchange for online reviews, typical 5-star ratings, private feedback, testimonials and local word-of-mouth marketing. First Table’s (free to restaurants) highly targeted digital campaigns and traditional community approach will successfully raise a restaurant's profile both online and directly in their local community.

It is a great model that benefits the restaurateur and the customer (very rare!)." ~ Liv Reynolds from Mamacita Restaurant
