Beyond Seats at Carbone: Reservation Platform Dorsia Raises $50 Million to Expand
Restaurant reservations are as hot a commodity as you can find these days. Take New York City, where every night, diners battle a thousand-plus waitlist to score seats at Chez Fifi bistro on the Upper East Side and Major Food Group's Carbone and Torrisi downtown.
Now Dorsia, the members-only platform that offers access to destination dining rooms in 21 markets worldwide, is expanding in the category with $50.4 million in seed and Series A funding, founder Marc Lotenberg tells Bloomberg. The round, which values Dorsia at $146 million, was led by Index Ventures SA, with participation from Invus Group LLC and people such as Naomi Gleit, head of product at Meta Platforms Inc., and Jon Newman, co-founder of Sweetgreen Inc.
