Beta bookings limited to selected restaurants in UK, Paris and New York

Booking and detailed information services for restaurants on Tablefinder.com have for the time being been limited to selected restaurants in mainly the UK, Paris and New York.

Our aim is to reopen booking services for restaurants in other locations during January, when we will also release a number of new features that will provide users with a better user interface, much more detailed information about restaurants, current special offers and more.

So keep booking if you're in London, Manchester, New York, Paris, Glasgow, Gothenburg or any major UK city.

For the rest of you: Please be patient. Our service will be back online for you soon, in the meantime enjoy the holidays!

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Recent performance issues, we’re working on them

As you might have noticed tablefinder.com has been running quite slowly during the last few days/weeks. This is due to high traffic on the site. We are working on solutions to remove bottlenecks in performance and speed up the site.

 Patches will be released frequently over the next few days to improve your experience!

Tablefinder releasing exclusive news at Minibar

Are you going to MiniBar this Friday?

See you there! 

Tablefinder Expoing at FOWA

Come visit us at our stand at Future of Web Apps! We will be here until Friday.

Introducing: Tablefinder Official Blog, now with comments!

After a rather embarrassing 18 months you can now comment on the Tablefinder blog. :) This new hot innovation is really cool, you should try it! You can actually click on the comments page, and write something, and then… when you click post… it's amazing… it posts the comment.

 Ok ok, a little irony above. :) The reason being that Jimmy noticed a couple of days ago why we in 18 months not have had any comments on our blog… It wasn't working. To my defense I have to say that the mod_rewrite rules suggested from Wordpress didn't work. So now I wrote some new rules and updated to the latest version and voilla… Tablefinder is back from the 90s and has joined the rest of the blogging world. :) yay!

Server down time yesterday

Due to a major power failure and a failure of the backup power at our internet provider in Stockholm yesterday, tablefinder.com was not available for about an hour. We really hope that our suppliers are doing everything they can to make sure this does not happen again. Read more about the incident here.

Keep the feedback coming!

Since we went live loads of feedback has come in from non-beta type people. This feedback is worth its weight in gold, so please don’t just swear to yourself when something does not work the way you want it to. Pick up your e-mail client and send all of your thoughts straight to feedback@tablefinder.com.

We are in the second version of our beta with our booking platform, but our web interface is still very much in alpha.

You can also use the feedback form located at http://www.tablefinder.com/eng/Feedback/.

We are Live!

A couple of days since we launched the site, but we just sent out all the invites to the beta subscribers. Now we will hold on and keep working on all features in the pipeline.

You can now reach thousands of restaurants in 15 countries! The number of restaurants varies, since we only list restaurants which have available tables.

Please report if you have any issues with the site.

Update: We are currently experiencing some weird IE6 issues. This is only in some versions of IE6.  Please report if you have any issues with the site.

Tablefinder partners with Livebookings - The largest restaurant booking network in the world

Today I am proud to announce the results of a few months work. We have just signed a strategic partnership with Livebookings Network. This is an important step towards our goal of giving access to all online bookable restaurants.

Interestingly enough they managed to write about this at Techcrunch before I did. ;)
