About us

We believe that restaurants and bars are the backbone of a city’s cultural pulse. Whether it’s experiencing the latest venue in town, discovering a local hidden gem, grabbing late night takeaway or connecting over a drink... we exist to build the next generation of software to help this industry thrive.

We have an expanding technology platform. For customers, our software enables them to explore the best restaurants in their city and save up to 50% off the total bill. For restaurants, it enables them to optimise spare capacity, launch real-time offers and fill tables otherwise gone empty. 

We’re a rapidly growing startup here in Australia. Initially co-founded by Marco Pierre White and spearheaded by leaders of the food tech scene, we now have 40+ employees all around Australia in all types of crafts.

So, If you’re into food and wine and want to work in a fast-paced environment with great people, get in touch. You can read some press on EatClub here:
