Does anyone recommend or frequent any of the restaurants participating?
As above, Watts on Crown is great, so is Kaya. Definitely check them out. I live in Newtown and went for an awesome italian at La Ricetta…
Have to enter credit card details to join, even though the fee is $0. So I didn't bother. Is there a way around that? I don't want to be automatically direct debited every month and have to chase up a cancellation.
you can easily cancel at any time, just click on your account, and there's a massive 'cancel account' button at the bottom of the page. just remember to do it before your 30 day trial ends if you don't want to pay $10. Although, IMO, $10 per month for 50% off food is pretty good!
Just read the terms and conditions. This is what I found to be relevant to me:
SILVER = 1 booking credit per month $5/mth
GOLD = 5 booking credits per month $10/mth
PLATINUM = 15 booking credits per month $15/mth
From terms and conditions:
1.1 We provide an online promotional platform for restaurants and cafés ("Partner Restaurants") to offer lunchalot.com members ("Members") and their accompanying guests on a "last minute" basis and based on availability: (a) a 50% discount off the regular menu prices on all food excluding beverages (the "Main Offer"; and (b) a 25% discount off regular menu prices on all food and beverages during the defined peak times (the "Peak-Time Offer") when booking with lunchalot.com. Partner Restaurants set the times they wish their tables on Main Offer or Peak-Time Offer ("tables") to appear on the Website, the times available for booking, the number of available tables and the minimum and maximum number of guests per table they wish to accept.All tables advertised on the Website are available for booking by Members only. The terms of the Main Offer or Peak-Time Offer cannot be varied or modified.
So the restaurants decide how many tables they will give away, when it will be available, and which discount they will give during that time (50% off meal, or 25% off meal and drinks). It's not like making a standard booking, where you call the restaurant and they just give you a table. It's also "subject to availability," which is similar to coupon sites. Also, it says it's for "last minute bookings only." Does that mean I can't book now, for Valentine's day? No info on how last minute it is.
However, I can see this being a better deal than a coupon, because you choose from a whole bunch of restaurants, and surely you can find one on the day that you need it, even if it's not the one you had your heart set on.
I would love to hear from anyone who is a member, and who can give a detailed overview of their experience.
I believe the bookings are only for the same day ie last minute..
I'm a member and you can book on the day anytime up to 12 hours in advance I think it is. So you can plan your day. Right now you cant book any further in advance than that but its not caused me any issues.
I still have to pay $25 joining fee it seems…
I thought it's completely free for the first month?
The promo code waives the first month AND the joining fee, so nothing to pay for the whole trial period.
