So a Table for 3 requires 3 Credits, a Table for 6 requires 6 Credits. Please note that Credits are used to secure your table, they are NOT deducted from your bill. The restaurant will deduct your discount when you ask for your bill.
Do credits expire?
Credits issued to your account expire 12 months after their issue date. Please ensure to utilize your credits within this timeframe to avoid expiration and loss of credit value. If you have any questions regarding credit expiry or need assistance, feel free to reach out to our customer support team for further clarification.
Are there any Special Conditions or Exclusions?
Some of our restaurants have Special Conditions attached to their Early Table offer. This allows them to offer the deep discount that Early Table users expect.

You must accept these Conditions prior to confirming your booking.

The Early Table offer is only available for the date and time you’ve booked.
