Ambassador Program
Get paid for bringing New York to the table
Ambassadors introduce people to ToShareAMeal — and especially to the paid Circle plans that turn one good dinner into an ongoing group. You earn recurring commission for as long as the people you refer stay subscribed.

Who it's for
You don't need a huge following — you need real people who trust your taste in places and company.
Local connectors
Community organisers, run clubs, language meetups, coworking hosts — anyone who already gathers people.
People who like hosting energy
You're the friend who books the table. Ambassadors get paid for the thing they already do for free.
What ambassadors promote
ToShareAMeal as a whole — and above all the paid Circle plans, where the recurring commission lives.
Circle+ and Circle Pro
The paid membership plans: saved Meal DNA, Personal Circles, Circle Match, Vibe Match, Sparks and host tools. These are the primary referral products.
The free way in
Meal Seeds, the public Meal DNA quiz and Shared Circles are free to try — they're the natural top of your funnel before a paid plan.
Travel Pass (secondary)
A $4.99 one-off option for visitors. Useful in traveler-specific content, but it isn't the subscription product ambassadors are measured on.
Your own angle
Restaurant round-ups, solo-dining content, newcomer guides, language-exchange tables — whatever fits your audience honestly.
How earnings work
Recurring referral commission
You earn a recurring commission on the paid subscriptions of users you personally refer, for as long as those users remain paying subscribers.
10% on affiliates you recruit
Recruit other affiliate partners and you also earn 10% of the referral income generated by your first-level partners, for as long as their referred users stay subscribed.
Exact eligibility, attribution windows, payout schedules, reversals and refunds are governed by the Ambassador Program terms and the FirstPromoter tracking setup. Referrals are only counted when tracked through your FirstPromoter referral link.
How it works
Apply and join
Enrollment is completed on FirstPromoter, our affiliate platform. It takes a couple of minutes.

FirstPromoter issues a personal tracking link and dashboard so every signup is attributed to you.
Share ToShareAMeal and the Circle plans
Post, film, invite, gather. Point people at the tables and the paid Circle plans that keep those tables going.
Earn on qualified paid referrals
Commission accrues on qualified paid subscriptions, plus 10% of your recruited affiliates' referral income.
Payouts and statements are handled in FirstPromoter.
Questions
Do I need to be a paying member to be an ambassador?
No. Anyone accepted into the program can promote ToShareAMeal, though ambassadors who actually use Circles tend to convert far better.
Where do I track my referrals?
In FirstPromoter. Clicks, signups, conversions, commissions and payouts all live in your affiliate dashboard, not in the ToShareAMeal app.
What happens if a referred member refunds or cancels?
Commission follows the subscription. Refunds and chargebacks can be reversed, and recurring commission stops when the member stops paying, per the program terms.
Can I promote Travel Pass?
Yes, and it works well in traveler content — but it's a one-time $4.99 pass. The program is built around the recurring Circle plans.
