Frequently asked

It starts with friendship - a table of five who keep showing up. But come for whatever you're hoping to find: a crew, a standing plan for the week, maybe more. You don't swipe strangers for a seat - we match you once and bring the same five back every week, so acquaintances have time to actually become yours. (Dating-first tables are on the way.)

Five compatible people near you meet at a spot we suggest on a set night. We point you to the place, usually somewhere down a laneway, and send the reminder. Nothing is booked or held; you just turn up. Most crews keep meeting after the first six weeks.

Membership is $22 a month, and it's free to start. Dinner is always your own bill. Dues cover the matching and the standing weekly slot, nothing more, and we take nothing from venues. Less than a flat white a week.

Tell us and we'll re-seat you. The matching engine balances age, interests and availability, and it learns from every cycle.

We're opening neighbourhood by neighbourhood in Melbourne, starting with Carlton. Each area starts only once enough people have signed up to fill a table.

Tables are small and hosted, you can report or block anyone, and an optional safety check-in nudges your emergency contact if you ever go quiet for two days.
