About 50 restaurants in Canada and the U.S. are using Tablz, with dozens more locations in the pipeline, and should have 100 eateries online by the fall

As rising inflation eats away at the bottom lines of restaurants, a Canadian startup says it has an additional revenue source that will help: charging customers for choosing their seats.

Frazer Nagy, founder of Tablz, said the idea for the platform was to bring the concept of premium seating and dynamic pricing from airplanes and concert stadiums to the neighbourhood restaurant. “We’re even learning that some of the seats that I like to make fun of, like the bathroom seats, are actually very, very popular for young mothers who want to be close to the bathroom,” Mr. Nagy said.
