Dish-first discovery

Start with what you want to eat instead of which restaurant you already know.

02

Browse or Ask

Browse a menu traditionally or tell TableChat what you're craving and let AI help find it.

03

Personalized discovery

Recommendations can reflect diner preferences and personal dietary restrictions through TableChat's Taste Graph.

04

Restaurant-owned commerce

Connect marketplace discovery to restaurant-branded websites, direct ordering and reservations, then support repeat business through loyalty, reviews and automated marketing.

05

Multi-surface discovery

TableChat is developing discovery infrastructure to help restaurant dishes become discoverable across third-party search, maps and AI experiences.

Taste Graph

Personalization beyond a search box.

TableChat's built and functional Taste Graph is designed to learn from diner preferences and interactions over time. Recommendations can also account for personal dietary restrictions, helping discovery reflect what is relevant to the individual diner.

Search understands what you ask for. The Taste Graph helps TableChat understand you.
For independent restaurants

Discovery brings customers in. Branded technology helps restaurants own the relationship.

Restaurants pay $299/month per location for the integrated platform, including an SEO-optimized branded website, direct ordering, reservations, conversational AI ordering, loyalty, verified reviews, automated marketing and social content, customer management and analytics, POS integrations and integrated delivery.
