Regarding the T-Point service and online reservations

Tabelog's online reservation service gives users the opportunity to earn as well as use T-Points with each online reservation. Users receive 50 reservation points per person for dinner and 10 points per person for lunch and now they are also able to use their T-Points when they make reservations at specified restaurants. During the reservation process, users are asked to enter the number of points they want to use and for each T-Point used, one yen is deducted from their bill. By logging into Tabelog as an online member, users can use T-Points they earned at one of many other affiliate stores and sites, to make a reservation on Tabelog. Users are also able to see how many T-Points they currently have as well as their usage history.

A limited time campaign, giving users the chance to win extra T-Points has also started on November 29.
