Company profile

researched Aug 2026

TableCheck operates a consumer-facing restaurant reservation and discovery service centred on Japan. Diners can search and book venues by cuisine category — including sushi, kaiseki, shabu shabu, yakiniku, tempura, ramen, soba, udon, yakitori, Japanese curry and izakaya, as well as Italian, French, Chinese, café, dessert, wine bar, burger, okonomiyaki, Korean, Thai, Indian, Vietnamese and American options — or by city and neighbourhood.

Alongside standard reservations, the platform offers FastPass, a paid priority-access product that lets diners skip queues at popular venues such as ramen, soba and udon shops, with listed prices for participating restaurants including Ramenya Shima, Japanese Soba Noodles Tsuta, Udon Shin, FLIPPER'S Shibuya and Shinjuku, RAMEN MATSUI, Ichiran Shinjuku Kabukicho and Dashi to Menyuei. TableCheck Pay allows diners to check out after a meal using a card registered in advance. The company also runs curated dining campaigns and card-partner promotions, including a Visa dining offer with 10% off select menus, Diners Club France Restaurant Week 2026, a members-only cashback programme with Diners Club, and seasonal "Bishoku Meguri" campaigns in Tokyo and Kyoto. A free mobile app supports booking on the go.

Business model

TableCheck sits between diners and restaurants: it aggregates venue availability for consumer booking and layers on paid or promotional products, including FastPass priority access sold at per-venue prices and TableCheck Pay for in-app card payment after dining. Card-issuer partnerships supply diner-facing offers such as menu discounts and cashback.
