This Weekend

Choose Your City

Pick a city, pick a day, book your spot. We handle the rest.

Loading events...

Face to face

Not another app where you swipe forever and meet nobody. Real tables. Real food. Real people.

Small groups

4 to 8 people per table. Small enough to actually talk. Big enough that it's not weird.

We do the work

We find the venue. We make the reservation. We pick your group. You just walk in.

How It Works

Four steps to your next
great conversation

From signup to seated. We handle everything in between.

1

Sign up

Takes 2 minutes. Tell us your age, interests, what kind of events you like.

2

Pick an event

Brunch, coffee, or dinner. Choose a date that works. We send you the venue the evening before.

3

Show up

Walk in, find your table, meet your group. Our AI puts you with compatible people who share your interests.

4

Stay in touch

Hit it off with someone? Exchange numbers. Most groups make a WhatsApp before dessert.
