What We Do

Our platform helps restaurants fill tables smarter and helps diners find available spots without the hassle of endless phone calls. Whether you're craving a casual meal or fine dining, Grubbian has you covered.

How Ordering Works

Grubbian supports two types of orders, depending on how each restaurant prefers to operate.

1

Deposit Only (Table Booking)

Secure your table by placing a small deposit when booking. The deposit is fully redeemable once you arrive at the restaurant and dine. You'll order your meals at the restaurant, the traditional way.

2

Meal Pre-orders

Some restaurants allow you to pre-order your meals when booking your table. After selecting your date and time, you'll be asked whether you'd like to pre-order or simply reserve a table and order on arrival — the choice is always yours.

You can easily see whether a restaurant allows meal pre-ordering by viewing their profile in the app.
