EazyDiner is an Indian restaurant table reservation and dining payments platform headquartered in Gurugram, Haryana. Launched in July 2014, the platform allows users to book tables at partner restaurants and access dining offers, and operates in cities across India and the United Arab Emirates.[1][2]
History
[edit]EazyDiner was launched on 7 July 2014 by a group of founders from the Indian hospitality and media industries, including journalist and food critic Vir Sanghvi, former Oberoi Hotels executive Rohit Dasgupta, and hotel industry professional Sachin Pabreja.[1] Dasgupta served as the company's chief executive.[3] Hotelier Kapil Chopra, former president of The Oberoi Group, serves as chairman of the company's board.[4]
The company was modelled on reservation platforms such as OpenTable in the United States, and initially differentiated itself by confirming reservations within 30 seconds using pre-allocated restaurant inventory, and by publishing reviews written by professional critics rather than user-generated reviews.[1][2][5]
By 2016, the platform listed more than 1,400 restaurants across five Indian cities, and reported that it had seated over 126,000 tables.[2] The company subsequently expanded to additional Indian cities and to Dubai.[6] As of 2026, the platform offered dining discounts at more than 40,000 restaurants across India and Dubai.[7]
Services
[edit]EazyDiner's core service is free online table reservation with dining deals negotiated with partner restaurants; the company earns commissions from restaurants for diners seated through the platform, alongside advertising revenue.[2] Rather than relying only on discounts, the platform initially promoted "meal enhancers" — complimentary items offered by restaurants to fill unused capacity, which the company estimated at roughly 20 per cent of tables on average days.[2] The company also operates a telephone concierge service for reservations.[1]
The company later added a paid membership programme, EazyDiner Prime, which guarantees minimum discounts at participating restaurants, and PayEazy, a bill-payment feature through which diners settle restaurant bills within the app.[8]
In July 2022, IndusInd Bank launched a co-branded credit card with EazyDiner that bundles a Prime membership with dining rewards.[9] In August 2026, the partners added a lifetime-free RuPay credit card that can be linked to UPI apps for payments.[7]
Funding
[edit]EazyDiner raised a US$3 million Series A round in August 2015 from DSG Consumer Partners and Saama Capital.[1] Cricketer Yuvraj Singh invested in the company through his YouWeCan fund in June 2016.[3] In October 2017, the company raised US$4.5 million in a Series B round led by Saama Capital and DSG Consumer Partners, with Singapore-based venture firm Beenext and a Middle Eastern family office joining as new investors.[3] A further US$5.84 million Series B tranche followed in 2018.[6] In 2023, the company raised ₹40 crore (US$4.2 million) from DMI Alternative Investment Fund – The Sparkle Fund.[10]
Competition
[edit]EazyDiner competes in India's dining-out and restaurant reservation market with Zomato, whose parent company operates the District app, and Swiggy, which entered the segment through its 2022 acquisition of Dineout.[11][12] In January 2026, Dubai-based reservation platform Eat App expanded its focus to India through an acquisition and a partnership with Swiggy, in a market where EazyDiner was among the incumbent reservation platforms.[13]
