Terms of Service

Last Updated: July 15, 2026

Welcome to TableChat. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of TableChat's website, AI-powered ordering and reservation platform, restaurant portal, and AI assistant integrations including our Claude MCP connector (collectively, the "Service"), operated by TableChat ("we," "us," or "our").

By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our Service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, placing an order, making a reservation, or using any part of our Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

2. Description of Service

TableChat is an AI-powered restaurant ordering and reservation platform that:

TableChat acts as an intermediary between diners and restaurants. We facilitate orders and reservations but do not operate the restaurants or provide food services directly.

You must be at least 18 years old to use our Service. By using TableChat, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

4. User Accounts

Account Creation

You may place orders or make reservations as a guest or by creating a TableChat account. To create an account, you will provide your name, email address, and phone number. Account sign-in is via one-time passcode (OTP) sent to your email — no password is required.

Account Responsibilities

5. Food Orders

Placing Orders

When you place an order through TableChat:

Order Accuracy

You are responsible for reviewing your order before submitting, including items, modifiers, quantities, and fulfillment method (pickup or delivery). TableChat is not responsible for errors in orders resulting from incorrect information provided by you.

Cancellations and Refunds

Because orders are transmitted to the restaurant's kitchen immediately upon payment, cancellations may not be possible once an order is confirmed. Refund eligibility is subject to the restaurant's policy. Contact us at support@tablechat-ai.com for assistance.

Delivery Orders

For orders with delivery, dispatch is handled by third-party delivery partners (Uber Direct). Delivery times are estimates and may vary. TableChat is not responsible for delays caused by traffic, weather, or other factors outside our control.

6. Reservations and Bookings

Making Reservations

When you make a reservation through TableChat:

No-Shows

Repeated no-shows without cancellation may result in suspension or termination of your TableChat account and potential charges if the restaurant has a no-show fee policy.

7. Payments and Fees

For Diners

TableChat charges no commission or markup fees to diners. You pay the restaurant's listed prices plus applicable taxes, tip (optional), and delivery fees (if applicable). Payment is processed securely through Stripe.

For Restaurant Partners

Restaurant partners pay a processing fee on orders facilitated through TableChat, as outlined in their service agreement. The fee is deducted from the order amount at settlement. Pricing is subject to change with 30 days' notice.

Loyalty and Cashback

TableChat operates a cashback loyalty program for eligible orders. Cashback balances are redeemable on future orders at participating restaurants. TableChat reserves the right to modify or discontinue the loyalty program with reasonable notice.
