I can assure you that funding isn't a problem here at all.

If the share price goes to 20p or 30p then they can raise more cash at 20p or 30p. They have done that already (raised on the spike that is). At that share price they can raise £2M, £5M or even £10Million with only modest dilution. Funds are not a problem.

BUT FIRST they need to get these f*cking restaurants signed up to the platform.

I wish you'd just forget about chains for now.

They have said all along that they cannot get the chains on the platform until the locations are up and running. As soon as there are circa 3000 restaurants onboard then most of the country will be covered and then they can add the chains.

The figures are coming from Table Now and not from me. The team signed 2750 restaurants in 6 months. Do the sums yourself.

There is absolutely nothing I need to contact Aidan about.

He, though, maybe needs to speak to Tom to make sure that the full team of 10 people are on board and that they are going to get on with the job of signing up the restaurants to the platform within the proposed timescale. Big Dish have the necessary funds to do this now.

I do not wish to email Aidan, I do not wish to hear a word from him, I do not want to see any RNS's from Big Dish, I do not want to see any tweets, etc - I would just like to see more restaurants signed to the platform.

That is what is going on and what needs doing. No excuses, no waffle, no reason, no nonsense - just more restaurants being added.

Personally I'm more interested in today than in 6 months time.

They added 15 last week according to the figures supplied by Alexpartridge100. In my view that is very modest and needs to ramp up by several multiples.

We're not disagreeing.

1p for every 100 restaurants - probably why the SP is 2.3p right now as there are 230 restaurants on the platform.

We have a figure here. We have a target.

If this team has signed 2750 restaurants to the Table Now platform in 6 months then they need to do the same for Big Dish.

Big Dish has more than enough funds available to do this now.

I don't think we need reassurance but it would be good to see them getting a move on.

It looks like they've let the 2 TM's go. As we've seen already a good TM has been able to sign 20 restaurants a month. Maybe it looks like they've let them go prematurely as the telesales are not yet working at that pace.

One they are, and just to match that, 10 telesales persons would be signing 200 restaurants a month and I'm sure they can do far more than that. In reality, without all the hustle of driving to the restaurants, parking, making appointments, etc, etc the telesales agents should be able to sign far more. Plus they can call anywhere in the country and are not just restricted to one city.

Looking at my earlier figures maybe 2 a day is a bit pedestrian and, in reality, a good telesales person could sign 5 a day. In which case maybe they are just taking a little longer to get this set up and then will blast off at 200 restaurants per week.

I don't think anyone cares but if this team has signed 2750 restaurants in 6 months for Table Now then they can do the same for Big Dish.

IT'S NOW TIME TO GET ON WITH IT.

Further good news.

I've also been informed that they are keeping Sanj on board. As soon as the 3000 restaurants are on and live then he will be ready with another 3000 in chains.

This is the share to be in for 2020. Bring it on.

Not a lot really is it. 10 a week is only 2 per day. One per morning and one every afternoon. Simples.

10 restaurants, 10 salesmen = 100 new restaurants per week.

Panic over. Good news.

I've just heard that the 1 restaurant per city is each telesales agent bagging his/her preferred starting area. That accounts for 6 and there are also 2 each targeting London and Manchester.

Plan is for each telesales agent to sign 10 new restaurants per week from today.

Let's get this job done!!!!

I think that it's just a case of Aidan keeping an eye on things and keeping them honest and making sure that this is all done within the timeframe they have obviously proposed.

The longer this takes the more it is costing.

Can we please have 3000 restaurants on the Big Dish platform within 6 months.

I don't really want to be posting here as I have other things to do and besides I consider the tide has turned here with regards to getting restaurants on the platform at last.

However, I do feel that things should be moving a bit faster here.

I know that a lot of posters here emailed Aidan a while ago when things were not working out with the TM's and their persistence did get a positive result as he has come up with the telesales approach which no-one saw coming.

Maybe some of those same people could get in touch with Aidan again to try and get things moving quicker here.

Maybe inform him that the shareholders are very happy with the news of the telesales approach which should work well for Big Dish. Also point out that we've been informed that Tom's 10 person telesales team got Table Now from 250 restaurants to 3000 in 6 months. It would be very nice if the same happened here especially as Big Dish have adequate funding to get this done straight away.

However, Tom has been employed now since 2cnd December and things are not moving very quickly. Having done this before the telesales team should make easy work of doing the same thing again albeit for a different company.

The shareholders would like to hear that the 10 person team is up and running and that they will make every effort to get Big Dish to 3000 restaurants within 6 months. I think this is only fair.

I'm not sure what the 1 restaurant per city is all about. The target needs to be 100 new restaurants per week to get this job done. We know they can sign them up easy enough from Brighton and Birmingham so they just need to get on with it.

The target is 100 a week, 450 a month.

If they've inexplicably still only got 3 on the job then they need to get the rest of the team recruited immediately. Big Dish have plenty of funds. They could even have more than 10 telesales agents in the team if it means they can get this done within 6 months. It looks like they've wasted the first month already so they have some catching up to do already.

Why not get 15 onboard now if it means this will be done faster.

Big Dish have the funds and they can employ people on a short-term contract to get this done so there aren't any nasty employment issues about it. They can just take them on for the 6-month contract.

Circa £25,000 x 10 divided by 2 (for 6 months) = £125,000. Peanuts to get 3000 restaurnats on the platform.

Then they can tackle the next part which is getting users numbers to grow.

First, get the restaurants onboard then Big Dish can tweak the discounts and booking periods and finally spend some time and funds on awareness and starting to get users on board BUT first they need to get the restaurants on the platform.

This needs to step up now!!!!!!!!

"In April 2019 the Company (Table Now) rebranded with a new app and embarked upon a nationwide rollout. Following the rebrand, Tom grew the platform, with a 10 person telesales team, from 250 to 3,000 restaurants across the United Kingdom over a six month period."

Fine, so we know it will work.

2750 restaurants added in 6 months = circa 458 per month = circa 105 per week (based on 26 weeks).

Time to get a move on I think. No point in holding back now. I hope the full team of ten are on board. If not they need to be on board very soon.

I'm not going to keep posting here as I think this is going to come good at last. I don't tend to post when things are going well.

There are still a few things I still don't agree with but they can always tweak things once they've got the restaurants signed up - and that is all I've been on about for over a year here - so I'm not going to ruin things by bashing on.

It looks like the sign-ups will happen now. The team is getting the towns and cities up and running first so they can fill in as more of the team get recruited. When I checked a month or so ago Table Now had over 350 restaurants in London so that is a doable target.

My prediction for what it's worth for the next month or two is 10p - and maybe even up to 20p - as things go wild once the speculation starts and there'll be no stopping this.
