Seated is the mobile restaurant discovery app that curates a highly-vetted list of more than 1,200 restaurants in 14 cities across the U.S. We offer diners dynamic rewards ($10-$50 per reservation) to Lyft, Amazon, and Starbucks every time you book a Seated restaurant on the platform for the first time. Seated’s mission is to help the 330,000 sit-down restaurants fight the national occupancy rate of 36% that has plagued the industry for decades and led 50% of restaurants to close within 3 years of opening. For these restaurants, we act as an attributable marketing, customer acquisition, and demand generation tool that brings them high quality, profitable diners at the times they need.
