Dinner with curious strangers

Curious people of all genders and occupations: designers, developers, doctors, teachers, founders, freelancers, students, etc. The one thing everyone has in common is that they showed up as they are, hoping to meet someone interesting or just have a good meal conversation - something we forgot that connected us all since the invention of fire.

We charge a small booking fee to secure your seat, then you pay the restaurant directly for what you order, depending on the venue. We usually try to pick classy, but affordable restaurants.

We usually organize our dinners in romanian, but when we get enough people that prefer to speak another language we might make a table just for them. Otherwise, the algorithm will mix them up with everyone else based on their profile.

The point is to actually build up the courage to come yourself, as you are. Just like traveling solo - it's worth it. More than that, you'll be at a table where everyone is in the same boat as you are. The awkward part will be over by the time the first drinks arrive.

That's understandable. Although our friends don't believe us - we're also introverts, and we know how terrifying it can be to meet one stranger over dinner. But five strangers? We'll, it's actually easier, because the spotlight isn't on you all the time, it's shared between everyone. With that said, introverts do great at our dinners. It's a small, relaxed atmosphere, where you can be exactly who you are and nothing more.

24 hours before dinner, you get the restaurant address, the names of your table mates, and a couple of things you all have in common to break the ice.

Although we usually try to gender balance the tables as much as possible, some weeks we might get too many people of one gender or another, so the algorithm will do its best to group people based on their personality, ignoring everyone's gender. Although deeper connections can spark during our dinners, please note that we are not a dating app. We're here to bring people who click together into a safe space so they could build friendships first.

You can cancel from the Dinner Details page. Remember to cancel or reschedule 24h ahead of dinner. Otherwise you'll lose your ticket. No-shows or last-minute cancellations can negatively impact the whole table and we want to discourage that as much as possible.

Being late 20-30min is better than not showing up at all. After all, it's a working day, we understand. But do let everyone know that you'll be late, so that they could order drinks, food and relax. This can be done from the top card of the Dinner Details, inside the app.

The table is reserved under the one of the founder names "Adrian, Mihai or Daniel". You can check it in the app, before dinner. When you get to the restaurant just mention the name and the staff will guide you to your table.

We don't have a chat feature. We found that most people prefer to connect through their own social profiles or other chats. That's why we created a Whatsapp/Telegram group for you to join after the dinner. You can find it in the app, under Dinner Details. But remember that real connections happen at the table, not through chat bubbles.

You can report inappropriate behavior in the Feedback form after the dinner. We'll take it into account and will try not match you with them next time. Repeated offenders will not be allowed to join a dinner anymore.
