Seated App: Get Paid to Eat Out (Referral Bonus Updates!)
Published on November 13, 2025, 9:03 PM
Heads up, foodies! Seated, the app that rewards you for dining at participating restaurants, has seen some changes to its referral program. Previously, the bonus for both the referrer and the new user started at $5, but it's fluctuated over time. More recently, referral bonuses have been spotted for up to $30! Also, Seated has been known to offer extra rewards on top of the standard referral bonus for a limited time.
Why does this matter? If you live in New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, or Atlanta (the cities where Seated operates), it's basically free money (or gift cards to Amazon, Uber, or Starbucks) for eating at restaurants you might already be visiting. Plus, each reservation donates a meal to charity! The referral bonus sweetens the deal, giving you and a friend a little extra something just for signing up and dining. It's always worth checking the current referral bonus amount before signing up or referring friends, as these offers can change.
