# Premium Seating Platforms 'Tablz' Works with Restaurants to Sell Premium Seating During Peak Hours By Colin Smith | Published 2022-11-22 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tablz References: [tablz](https://www.tablz.com/)  'Tablz' is a Toronto, Canada-based startup with a platform that offers restaurants a new, heightened revenue stream. The Tablz platform uses [artificial intelligence and algorithms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smarter-connections) to determine the optimal pricing for each table in a restaurant during any given time. This can help restaurant owners sell [premium tables during peak hours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restaurant-reservation), while receiving adequate compensation for the table. The Tablz algorithm prices tables anywhere between $5 and $100 CAD for premium seating, based on the hour of the day and the current number of customers in the restaurant. When viewing a table on Tablz, users can view a [3D walkthrough of the restaurant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playbook-commons) to verify the quality of the seating based on surrounding tables, window seating, views, and more. The platform has already partnered with several restaurants in the city, with more being added frequently.
