San Francisco-Â-based waitÂ--free dining startup Allset (www.allsetnow.com) has raised $2.35 million in seed funding. Allset focuses on the dineÂ--in restaurant experience, enabling customers to both book a table and preÂ--order their meal at local restaurants making for a wait-Â-free and more seamless lunch.

Including previously raised $1 million in pre seed funding, Allset has now raised a total of $3.35 million. Launched last year, Allset currently operates in San Francisco, Palo Alto, and Manhattan serving over 8,500 diners per month with more than 180 restaurant partners.

The new round was led by Metamorphic Ventures, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, FJ Labs, and previous investors - SMRK VC Fund and private investor and entrepreneur Alexandr Chernyak.

Allset plans to utilize the new funds to expand into new markets (Los Angeles and Chicago) as well as for product research, development, and marketing.
