EatClub Swipes Right: Over 250 Venues, Including 8 Michelin‑Starred, Join Discount App

Auckland‑born EatClub has rolled out a discount dining app that already boasts more than 250 participating venues. Among those are eight restaurants that have earned Michelin stars, proving that even the most celebrated kitchens are curious about a price‑cutting partnership.

The app’s interface is deliberately cheeky – it works like a Tinder for food, letting users swipe left on menus that feel out of reach and swipe right to claim a discount at a participating eatery.

Some chefs have taken the joke in stride, quipping that they might have to re‑brand their establishments as “budget‑friendly fine dining” if the discounts prove popular.

Venture capitalists have started to line up, intrigued by the prospect of scaling a model that blends high‑end cuisine with everyday affordability. Food bloggers are already testing the platform, posting photos of their discounted plates and peppering their feeds with tongue‑in‑cheek hashtags.

As EatClub expands beyond its Auckland roots, diners can look forward to the possibility of enjoying a Michelin‑starred experience without the usual price tag, while still getting the thrill of a good bite.
