We're building for the moment you walk in and there's nowhere to sit.
Know before you go.
SeatMate shows you open seats at cafés, restaurants, bars and barbershops around Sacramento before you get there.
Finding a place is easy. Knowing if there's a seat when you get there is not.
Same evening. Two ways it can go.
You want a coffee and a table for an hour. Here's how that plays out without live seating, and with it.

Our story
“Why can't I see if there's a seat before I go?”
That's the question that started SeatMate.
