Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions

What does TableTransfers cover?

TableTransfers is a media-and-marketplace platform for hospitality operators in the AI era. We publish six editorial columns — The Pass (daily news), Vibe Check (vendor reviews), The Operator (playbooks), The Bottom Line (M&A and deals), Mise (frameworks), and the Service podcast — and we operate a restaurant-for-sale marketplace.

Who is the audience?

Independent and multi-unit restaurant operators, hotel F&B leaders, hospitality investors and brokers, hospitality technology vendors, and first-time restaurant buyers. If you run, fund, sell, or build for restaurants and hotels, the publication is written for you.

How are editorial and advertising separated?

Editorial decisions are not for sale. Vendors do not get to review, pre-approve, or kill coverage of their products. Sponsored content is clearly labeled and is produced by a separate team. Our editorial firewall is one of our most important commitments — if you ever see us appear to break it, please tell us.

How does the marketplace make money?

Listings are paid (basic and promoted tiers). The buyer-side concierge service is a paid subscription add-on. For larger transactions, we operate a referral fee model with partner brokers in jurisdictions that require licensed brokerage. Editorial coverage of marketplace listings is independent: the Bottom Line column applies the same scrutiny to a TableTransfers listing as to any other deal.

Can I get a refund on my subscription?

For an existing subscription, we honor the refund terms that applied when it was purchased. Email [email protected] with a billing or refund question. All editorial articles are free to read.

How do I pitch a story?

Email [email protected]. Pitch in one short paragraph: what’s the story, who’s the source, why now. We read every pitch.

How do I apply for a job?

See our open roles at /jobs and follow the application instructions on each listing.
