I came across a wonderful website while browsing for some restaurants. I felt like writing a bit more about this website which can help my readers while choosing restaurants for parties and to get exciting deals.
GroupTable.in is a Bangalore-based group dining website.
The mission of www.GroupTable.in is to save money for groups of diners on fine dining at high-end restaurants in India. This site is specially useful to save money when partying in some of the finest restaurants of your town This is not just for a group but this site is useful even when choosing a venue for 2 to dine out. Currently this is available in 9 cities across India, i.e. Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Pune and Jaipur.
Once you select your town on the GroupTable.in website, you have to proceed to "Filter your restaurant here:". Enter the table size from the drop down, eg. table for 4. Then mention the date and time. Proceed to select your area from the drop down. eg. Brigade Road. Next step is to select a cuisine eg. Chinese and the last step is to select a type eg. buffet. Then click on show results. Apart from this you can search by typing the name,cuisine and location.
There are tabs named "Map of deals" and "Bird's eye view of deals". Click on this and you will see a flying view of deals across various locations in Bangalore. Apart from all this you can earn 1000 dine points which you earn when you invite friends or when you refer your friends to join them, or when you book table for 9 or 10 diners in a group booking.

Eatisfy is a new web-based restaurant guide from GroupTable.in. It presents a unique
service where customers can get a virtual experience of a restaurant’s menu and
ambiance before instantly reserving a table.

Their aim is to provide a satisfying eating experience – hence, the name Eatisfy. Nowadays most people want everything to be done at a touch of a button, that is because of their hectic schedules. People can either search for restaurants or find then by localities,cuisines,quick links,cost for two and by type. With Eatsify.in, people can get a virtual experience of being at a restaurant, they can see the ambiance, browse through the menu, get recommendations about the chef's signature dishes and even make reservations. This can even be done using a smartphone.
Another beneficial feature of Eatisfy.In is that users can earn reward points for every review that they submit of restaurants that were visited through bookings made on Eatisfy.In or for every invited friend who joins Eatisfy.

Pinvite is a new initiative from GroupTable.In. It presents an interesting and easy way to
socialize. It helps users find events in their city, invite friends to events that
they are planning to attend and share photo, videos and reviews after an event
has passed.
If you've ever wanted to attend an event with your friends, but couldn't find the time to coordinate with every one of them to make it happen, Pinvite has just the solution for you. A social media initiative of GroupTable.In, which has already earned a name for itself in the group dining space, Pinvite has a host of interesting features that make coordinating events as easy as a press of a button.
There is an event tab on the page where the users can view all the events happening in their city. City can be entered in the search tab. If you want to share the event with friends or you want to invite them, then you have to log in. Commenting, sharing photos or videos and leaving feedback of events can be done after registering.
Getting a group of friends together for an event becomes easier with Pinvite. For instance, if you want to go for a Music Show in Bangalore, but don’t know what the options are, all you have to do is enter the first few letters of the city, category and time in the search field and select from the options that show up. The system generates the list of events that fall within the search criteria.
After an event is selected, two tabs on the side present the options of inviting contacts through Pinvite or by email invitations. Once the event is over, photos and videos can be shared and just like with other social networks, friends can comment on them. There is also an Impressions tab, which allows users to review an event.
