Answers to the questions we get asked most. And if yours isn’t here, write to us at the bottom of the page.
Book
When can I book?
At the earliest for the next day, and up to a month ahead. Two sittings: 12:00 and 19:00 (some restaurants offer only one). Each restaurant opens a single table per sitting: if the slot is “full”, pick another day. Day vouchers, like the 1 + 1 burrito, can be taken the same day and have no set time.
How many people, and what discount?
The number of people depends on the offer (usually up to 2, up to 6 on percentage offers). On those offers the discount follows the table: −50 % for 1 or 2 people, −40 % at 3, −30 % at 4, −20 % from 5. It is set when you book and shown on your voucher.
Do I need an account?
No. A Swiss mobile number is enough: you get a 6-digit code by text, and your account exists. The email address is optional but recommended: it receives your voucher, changes and the survey.
I didn’t get the text code
Wait 20 seconds and request a new one. The code is valid for 5 minutes, with 5 attempts. Check the number is a Swiss mobile: foreign numbers are not accepted.
Cancel or move my booking
Any time before the slot time, from My bookings or the link in the text and email. The restaurant is told and the table frees up for someone else. Cancelling reopens your offers right away. Note: a cancellation made after the time counts as a no-show.
Can I book two offers at once?
No: one offer at a time. While a booking is in progress, the next one waits. If you’d rather have another offer, cancel the first.
On site
Where is my QR code?
In My bookings, and in the confirmation text and email. It appears once you accept the offer’s rules.
What happens when I arrive?
You show your QR code. The staff scan it with their restaurant code, confirm your visit on the day, and the voucher discount applies to the bill.
I’m running late
Your table is held for 15 minutes. After that the restaurant may give it away. Let them know, or move the booking before the time.
The restaurant didn’t scan my QR code
Ask them to: that is what records your visit, adds a stamp to your card and an honoured table to your profile. Without a scan, the visit still counts as done 6 hours after the slot time: your account closes and the survey is waiting.
Voucher QR and member card QR: what’s the difference?
The voucher QR applies the discount, on the booking day. The QR of your member card, in My account, gives no discount: shown on every visit, it gets your card stamped at that restaurant.
After the visit
Why is my account blocked?
Because you used an offer: one offer at a time is what lets every restaurant keep some for everyone. Answer the survey and your offers reopen.
When can I answer the survey?
Right away: open Unlock my account, the “Answer the survey” button is there. Otherwise it reaches you by text and email 48 hours after the visit, with a single email reminder six days later. Five screens, about three minutes, your answers are saved as you go.
Why can’t I take the offer again at the same restaurant?
The survey reopens the other partners. To get the offer back at a restaurant you already visited, fill your stamp card there: show your member card QR on every visit, 3 stamps reopen the offer. A visit with an offer counts too. See it in pictures
How many stamps per day?
Just one per restaurant per day, even if you stop by twice.
Does the restaurant see my answers?
Answers are passed on without your name, number or email. They help the restaurant improve, and help us choose partners.
What happens if I don’t show up?
Cancel rather than not turning up: a cancellation made before the time never counts. Otherwise, after 2 no-shows in 6 months you get a warning; at the 3rd, your account is blocked for 3 months. A serious reason? Write to us, we can lift the block.
My account
Change my mobile number
In Settings: a text code goes to the new number to confirm it. A number already linked to another account is refused.
Add or change my email
In Settings. A confirmation link is sent to you, valid for 30 minutes. Without a confirmed email, some information (voucher, survey) only reaches you by text.
What are favourites for?
To find your favourite offers in one click, and to receive news about them.
What information does the restaurant get?
Your first name, last name, number of people, date and your masked number. Nothing else.
