TableOne

TableOne's first month of being a paid service is in the books 🔥 We don't have investors on the cap table, but Frank and I thought it'd be fun to send out an investor update anyway. Some highlights: - 99.3% profitability margin - 17.4% paywall conversion - 41% annual pass purchases - no paid ads run, $0 customer acquisition cost Pumped to keep it going.

Big. Changes. Coming. 🚀

Our biggest announcement yet – say hello to our newest cities: 📍 Boston 📍 Chicago 📍 Los Angeles 📍 Miami 📍 Philadelphia 📍 San Francisco 📍 Washington D.C.

TableOne has always been committed to helping diners land some of the world's most coveted reservations. Something I'm proud of though is ~how~ we do it - for free, and without ever taking a single reservation from the reservation platforms. When we built our product, Tarek Arafat and I swore to NEVER use our tech to pirate reservations, but rather democratize them. By arming all diners with real-time notifications, predictive analytics and more, NYC (and other cities soon) get to take back the reservations that have been pirated by bots for far too long. We're very excited about New York's "Restaurant Reservation Anti-Piracy Act", as it's long overdue!

In February, Frank and I launched a faster, fresher looking TableOne and doubled our users in 3 months. Today, we run it back 🤝 #productrelease

For those of you following the TableOne journey, today I released something I'm very proud of - a spiffy new app update! I wanted to work on TableOne full-time as a way to challenge myself, and this is one of the most ambitious updates I've ever built. Upon first visit, you'll ~hopefully~ notice a brand new look and feel. Searching through our live inventory has been refined, and you can now peruse through curated restaurant lists (date spots, good for groups, etc.). For those of you that like backend tech (I know some of you are out there), this new version leverages a backend solution I'm very proud of, enabling TableOne to serve live reservation inventory to over 50k concurrent users simultaneously. This will be crucial as we introduce new cities on TableOne. Thank you to my network for the words of encouragement as I transitioned to working on TableOne full-time. I've got some big plans for it! Go checkout the update if you get the chance, and let Tarek Arafat and I know what you think. We're always looking for feedback. https://lnkd.in/diWSa8sZ

Beyond humbled to be mentioned in Forbes. Thanks so much to Laurie Werner for taking the time to chat with us about all things reservations. We couldn't be more excited to have TableOne featured in your Mother's Day Gift Guide! Make sure to treat your mothers to something special this year! If you're trying to land a special reservation, we're happy to help! https://lnkd.in/eyZbDrp9

Been a fun week to be a startup in the reservation space 👀 TableOne got another really cool shoutout, this time in Gothamist! Thank you Lee for the coverage and the fun conversation.

I’ve got some big news. I’m officially TableOne’s full-time CTO! When I started building TableOne, I never imagined going full-time, using it more so as an opportunity to challenge myself and explore new technologies outside of my 9-5. However I noticed that the product features I was building were becoming more and more ambitious. My coding sessions went from a few hours to a few days, and soon enough my 5-9 was entirely consumed by a passion to help users eat at NYC’s best restaurants. It became more clear to me that this is what I should be focusing on. Capital One has been truly the perfect place to work, making this decision close to impossible to make. I can’t thank my team enough for the opportunity to contribute to such impactful projects, and for genuinely just being great people. Needless to say that whenever ya’ll are in NYC, let’s get dinner! With all that being said, I’ve got some very cool things planned for TableOne. Thank you to everyone for all the positivity and words of encouragement.
