Book a table

Dineout is Swiggy's table-reservation surface across 50+ Indian cities. The flow is compact: find → check slots → book → confirm.

Step 1 - Start with a location

const locations = await client.callTool({ name: "get_saved_locations" });
// Unlike Food/Instamart, Dineout returns lat/lng explicitly for "near me" queries

If the user asks "restaurants near me for Friday dinner", use the first saved location's coordinates.

Step 2 - Search

const restaurants = await client.callTool({
  name: "search_restaurants_dineout",
  arguments: {
    lat: locations.data[0].lat,
    lng: locations.data[0].lng,
    query: "italian",
  },
});

Results include availability status, offers, cuisines, and price range. Filter to restaurants where availability is "AVAILABLE" before presenting.

Step 3 - Dig into details

const details = await client.callTool({
  name: "get_restaurant_details",
  arguments: { restaurantId: restaurants.data.restaurants[0].id },
});
// details.data: ratings, amenities, menu images, exclusive Dineout deals

Step 4 - Check available slots

const slots = await client.callTool({
  name: "get_available_slots",
  arguments: {
    restaurantId: details.data.id,
    date: "2026-05-01",
    guestCount: 4,
  },
});
// slots.data has 7-day forward availability, broken into breakfast/lunch/dinner bands

Surface slot times in the user's timezone (all restaurants are in India; IST applies).

Step 5 - Book

const booking = await client.callTool({
  name: "book_table",
  arguments: {
    restaurantId: details.data.id,
    slotId: slots.data.slots[0].slotId,
    guestCount: 4,
  },
});

Important: book_table is not idempotent. On 5xx, call get_booking_status with the restaurant and slot before retrying.

Step 6 - Confirm

const status = await client.callTool({
  name: "get_booking_status",
  arguments: { bookingId: booking.data.bookingId },
});

Send the user the confirmation number and the restaurant's address.
