How Rixilo works to get you the table you want.

From request to confirmed table in five steps
Most tables are confirmed within minutes. We check every platform at once, so the searching happens for you, not by you.
Step 1
Your request
You request a table at the restaurant you want
Step 2
The search
We check every online booking platform
Step 3
The call
If it can't be booked online, we call the restaurant
Step 4
The confirmation
Your booking is confirmed and sent to you
Step 5
The alternatives
If it's full, we propose similar restaurants
We check every source to get you a table
We don't stop at one app: we look everywhere a table can be found, and we pick up the phone when we need to.
Booking platforms
TheFork, OpenTable, Google Reserve… we check every platform where the restaurant takes bookings.
Restaurant websites
Many restaurants take bookings on their own site: we check it for you.
A direct call
Not bookable online? We call the restaurant directly and book your table.
Stay up to date from the moment you ask to the moment your table is confirmed
A simple message to your assistant, through our user space, starts the search. We then let you know once your table is confirmed, with all the details you need.
Our alternative system makes us stand out from others.
Unlike other platforms that tell you a restaurant is full, we flip the switch. We turn every no into a yes by offering similar restaurants with a free table at the time you want. That way you never go home without a table.
Everything you need to know.

- A table at the restaurant of your choice, whether you name a specific place or just a cuisine and a city. It works for restaurants that take online bookings and for those that don’t.
- Enter a cuisine or a restaurant, a city and the number of guests in the search, or and say what you’re looking for. You pick the restaurant, the date and the time, and we take care of the booking.
- Restaurants that take online bookings are usually confirmed within minutes. When we have to call the restaurant, it can take a little longer, depending on its opening hours and how busy it is. The confirmation reaches you by chat, SMS and email.
- We suggest similar restaurants nearby that still have a table at your time. You choose the one you like, and nothing is booked without your say-so.
- Yes. Many restaurants can’t be booked online, so we call them on your behalf, speak with the team and confirm your table. You don’t have to make a single call.
- Yes. Tell us about an occasion, an allergy, a high chair or a preference for the terrace, and we pass it on to the restaurant when we book. The restaurant has the final say on whether it can honour it.
- We cover 10+ countries. You can use Rixilo and chat with us in English, French, Spanish or Italian.
- No. Rixilo has no affiliation or partnership with the restaurants it contacts. We act as an intermediary between you and the restaurant to make booking easier, and the restaurant remains responsible for your meal and its service.
