There are over 10,000 venues in the US (nightclubs, lounges, restaurants, roof decks and bars) that do VIP table/bottle service. The VIP table service market is $8B a year annually in the US alone and $25B a year market globally. The nightlife space has historically seen very few technological advances, suffers from being extremely fragmented, lacking transparency, inefficient booking process with unnecessary middleman, unsold inventory, lack of user data, and last minute cancellations. Tablelist solves these problems by connecting venues directly with consumers and allowing users to instantly book VIP table/bottle service at nightclubs, lounges, roof decks, pool parties, and restaurants directly from their mobile phone. Our first order of business is to take a bite out of the $25B a year global VIP table service market. After we have conquered that, we will expand beyond VIP tables to adjacent verticals in the nightlife space, a $500B a year global opportunity.
