Diners are then rewarded with 50% off the food bill for dining at an off-peak time. To secure 50% off the food bill, select your city and search through the available restaurants near you. Then select your date and time and lock in your First Table for a booking fee. What’s in it for the restaurant? Restaurants choose to join at their own discretion, to help fill empty tables and to create a buzz early into their service. That means what while you’re tucking into a sunny brunch or an elevated dinner for half the price, you're also helping restaurants start service strong. Discover new restaurants! Browse nearby restaurants to discover a hidden gem in your own backyard or lock in top-rated restaurants you’ve always wanted to try. Craving a particular meal? Restaurants are also searchable by restaurant name or cuisine. What’s the catch? There isn’t one - that’s the best part! First Table is a win-win for restaurants and diners alike. Restaurants get early customers through the door and diners get rewarded for dining at times that restaurants need them most. By dining on First Table, you'll not only have a great excuse to connect with mates, dates and fellow foodies, but you'll also be supporting hospitality venues by dining at the times that they need you the most. Have friends you’d love to dine with? You can even earn credit by sharing First Table with other foodies! Just grab your promo code from your profile, and you’ll both get your next restaurant booking fee half price.

Turn the bottles you already own into a cocktail menu. Just point your camera at the bottles on your shelf — My Shaker Flow reads the labels and instantly shows every cocktail you can make right now, ranked by what you'll actually enjoy. No more "what can I even make with this?" at 9pm. Scan your bar — photograph your bottles once; the app remembers what you have, so your menu is always up to date. Added a new bottle? Scan it and watch your options grow. Smart suggestions — every drink is ranked by flavour profile, your ratings and what's actually in stock, from quick weeknight classics to proper showstoppers. Full step-by-step method and measures included. Party Mode — heading to a BBQ, a dinner party or a mate's place? Scan their bottles too, in a separate named bar, and see what the whole evening can pour. The Specials Wall — buy a one-of-a-kind AI-designed cocktail (£4.99) created for someone you love: a bespoke recipe built around their favourite flavours, its own artwork, a shareable gift page and a printable certificate. One of a kind, never made again. Shopping list — the app tells you the one or two bottles to buy next to unlock whole new families of cocktails, so every purchase earns its place on the shelf. Works on iPhone and iPad — your bar follows you between devices, so the menu's ready whether you're at the shop or behind the bar. Start with a 7-day free trial with everything unlocked. After the trial, Shaker Flow Pro is £3.99 a month or £29.99 a year. The £4.99 AI Special cocktail is a separate one-off purchase and doesn't need a subscription. Please drink responsibly.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: First Table at none against My Shaker Flow's 3. My Shaker Flow's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
