About Seated
Seated exists to help restaurants thrive in an industry defined by thin margins and underutilized capacity. We connect thousands of restaurants with millions of high-intent diners through demand-driven pricing and rewards, helping restaurants fill empty tables, reach new guests, increase visit frequency, and drive profitable incremental revenue.
Since launching, billions of dollars in restaurant spend have flowed through Seated, and hundreds of millions of dollars in rewards have been paid to Seated consumers. Today, Seated operates across 20+ U.S. markets and continues to expand nationally.
Our core marketplace is thriving. Now, we’re focused on expanding the value Seated creates for restaurants and consumers and building the company’s next major growth engine.
