How it works

Booking a table in Dublin and Dubai with LastTable

LastTable is a free app for diners. It shows live tables, holds the one you pick while you confirm, and verifies you with a text message instead of an account.

Answer checked against the app on .

  1. Step 1: Find a real free table tonight

    Open Tonight or pick a time. Every time you see is a table the restaurant has free right now, straight from its own table plan.

    The Tonight screen: restaurants with a table free within the hour, on a live map
  2. Step 2: Hold it for 5 minutes, book with your mobile

    Tap a time and the table is held for you for 5 minutes while you confirm. Add your name and mobile number and enter the code we text you. No account, no password.

    The Confirm details screen with the 5-minute hold timer, name and mobile number
  3. Step 3: Pick an offer, with the terms up front

    Some restaurants run Flash Tables, 2-for-1 deals or student discounts. You see the terms before you book. For a student discount, show your student card at the restaurant.

  4. Step 4: Full? Radar watches for you

    Turn on Radar for a full restaurant, your party and a time window. When a table frees up, it is held for you for 5 minutes to confirm or let go.

    A Radar alert: a table just opened and is held for you, with Confirm and Release buttons
  5. Step 5: Turn up and enjoy

    Pay the restaurant as usual; if it asks for a deposit or a pre-order, you pay that securely in the app. Some bookings show an optional “I’ve arrived” button. We never use your location.
