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!

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!

Perhaps most important of all are:

  • a new table search
  • new social features
  • and tools that make it easier for you to organize your restaurants

You will also notice that the site has a new front page with new features and a new fresh look.

On top of this we will be adding a few thousand new bookable restaurants to the service within the next few days. 

More on this very soon. Unfortunately I have to get on a flight to London in about 45 minutes so I need to stop blogging now!

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!

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.

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