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

Who's it 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 Circle+ subscription, where the recurring commission lives.
Circle+
The Circle+ membership: saved Meal DNA, Personal Circles, Circle Match, Vibe Match, Sparks and host tools. This is the primary referral product.
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.
Traveler 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 our referral tracking. Referrals are counted only when tracked through your personal referral link.
How it works
Apply and join
Enrollment is completed through our partner platform. It takes a couple of minutes.
Get your referral link

Share ToShareAMeal and Circle+
Post, film, invite, gather. Point people at the tables and the Circle+ subscription that keeps 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 the partner dashboard.
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 your partner dashboard. Clicks, signups, conversions, commissions and payouts all live there, 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 Traveler 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+ subscription.
