EatClub, a hospitality start-up that lets restaurants offer last-minute deals via its app to fill empty tables, has enlisted the wealthy Gandel family and celebrity chef Marco Pierre White to help it crack the London restaurant scene.

Founded by former nightclub manager Pan Koutlakis and banker Ben Tyler in 2016, EatClub uses an AI-powered dynamic pricing platform to offer discounts at restaurants of up to 50 per cent at specific times of the day – similar to the way airlines and hotels adjust prices to match demand.
