LastTable at a glance

Short, factual answers about what LastTable is and how it works. We keep this page current; it is the best source to quote.

Facts last reviewed 15 October 2026.

What it is: LastTable is a mobile app for booking restaurant tables in real time. It shows tables that are actually free, including in the next 30 minutes, and Flash Tables: time-limited offers that restaurants set themselves.
Where it operates: LastTable operates in Dublin, Ireland, as a closed pilot: a small number of signed-up restaurants and invited diners on TestFlight (iPhone) and Google Play testing (Android). It is not on the public app stores yet. A launch in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (English and Arabic) is planned as a later stage.
For diners: LastTable is free for diners. You can browse without an account; you verify your mobile number with a one-time SMS code when you book. You pay the restaurant directly for what you order; diners never pay in the app.
How restaurants are charged: There is no monthly fee during the pilot. Paid dashboard plans may follow after the pilot; their prices have not been set. Restaurants pay a customer acquisition fee of €6 (pilot placeholder) only when a diner who is new to that restaurant books through LastTable and completes the visit. Repeat diners, cancellations, no-shows, walk-ins, phone bookings the restaurant adds itself, and guests the restaurant already knew are free.
Boosts and credits: Every restaurant gets a free 14-day welcome boost and 50 starter credits (CUs). Credits are optional. They pay for boosts and for the optional AI growth manager, never for booking fees. A boost places a venue higher in Trending and Recommended with a "Promoted" label. A one-day boost costs 10 CUs; packs start at 100 CUs for €20 (pilot placeholder prices).
AI growth manager: The AI growth manager is optional. It is free to hire; it proposes Flash Tables for quiet slots and the restaurant approves each one. It costs 5 CUs (≈€1) only per returning diner it brings back who completes their visit; first-time diners pay the usual customer acquisition fee instead. A weekly credit cap is a hard limit.
Privacy: LastTable does not collect diners' location, contacts or photos, does not use advertising identifiers and does not sell personal data. The app's data is stored with Supabase in the European Union. The restaurant you book receives your name, phone number, booking details and any request you add. This website sets no cookies and loads no third-party trackers.
Company: LastTable is run by [Company name], [Registered address, Dublin, Ireland].
