Participating venues include spots such as Sip & Guzzle, Maison Close, and Rocco’s Sports & Recreation, as well as seasonal locations such as Surf Lodge (Montauk) and Commonground East (East Hampton).

The app plans to expand earlier next year to feature additional venues such as the Garret, Beefbar, and Snow Lodge (Aspen).

Users can browse available reservations, bid on tables within 72 hours of the reservation time, and have their bid amount applied as the minimum spend.

Winning bids automatically convert to confirmed bookings.

By joining the platform, restaurants benefit from free participation and guaranteed revenue for high-value tables, while diners enjoy exclusive access, convenience, and a transparent process, the company claims.
