First Table coupon vs promo code vs discount code: what’s the difference?

First Table promo code, First Table discount, First Table coupon and First Table referral code all describe the same model — book the first table of an evening service to get 50% off the food. There’s no typed code; the discount is built into the booking itself.

How to use the First Table dining offer in Australia

1. Open the First Table Australia site — Use the link on this page to browse participating restaurants in your city.
2. Pick a restaurant and the first slot of the evening — First Table reserves the very first table of an evening service (usually around 5pm or 5:30pm).
3. Pay the booking fee — A small fee is charged at booking time. This is the only payment you make to First Table; the food bill is paid to the restaurant.
4. Show up on time — Eat as you would normally. The restaurant takes 50% off the food bill at the end of the meal.
5. Pay the food bill (50%) and any drinks (full price) — Drinks, sides and tips are charged normally.

It’s a no-strings way to try a higher-end restaurant for half price. The restaurant fills its slowest slot, you get a great deal, and there’s no typed code or membership to manage.
