About

Based in Australia, EatClub Pty Ltd connects diners with restaurants and bars, offering discounted dining experiences while helping venues optimize occupancy rates during slow periods. EatClub Pty Ltd operates as a digital platform that connects diners with restaurants and bars throughout Australia. Founded in 2017, the company is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. The company was cofounded by Ben Tyler and Pan Koutlakis, also serving as the CEO as of 2026, have previously been involved in other ventures, enhancing their business acumen.


In February 2026, EatClub Pty Ltd raised USD 27 million in series B funding led by Marbruck Investments, with participation from EVP, Co:Act and Gandel Invest. EatClub primarily operates as a digital platform designed to connect diners with restaurants and bars across Australia, facilitating discounts and deals for users while filling venues that have available seating. Their core service is the provision of a prepaid, reloadable digital card, which allows customers to enjoy savings on their total bill at participating establishments. This service addresses the needs of budget-conscious consumers seeking to enjoy dining experiences without overspending and helps restaurants optimize their occupancy rates during less busy times.


EatClub offers its services to a diverse clientele, including individuals and families in major Australian cities such as Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth, enhancing their dining experiences across various cuisines including Asian, Italian, and contemporary Australian fare. The company has expanded its reach to over 3,000 restaurants and bars, reflecting its growth and the increasing popularity of its services. EatClub’s revenue model is primarily driven by transactions occurring between users and participating restaurants, resulting from discounted dining experiences facilitated through their platform. Users engage with the service by utilizing the EatClub digital card to make reservations or walk into venues, where they can access deals, generating revenue for both EatClub and the restaurants involved.


Restaurants benefit from increased foot traffic, particularly during off-peak hours, while EatClub earns a commission from these transactions. The structure consists of direct consumer interactions, allowing individuals to book last-minute tables or capitalize on available deals, enhancing the dining experience while enabling restaurants to maximize their operational capacity. This service model is designed to ensure that both diners and eateries find value in each transaction, fostering a mutually beneficial relationship that promotes sustained engagement and profitability. The company will use the February 2026 funding to support its expansion in the UK and other international markets, starting with growing its restaurant network and operations in Britain.
