Host FAQ
Do I need to pay for everyone’s meal?
No. Unless a table listing explicitly says otherwise, each guest pays the restaurant directly for their own order.
Is hosting hard?
It’s simple: pick a public restaurant, set the time, welcome people, and keep the table respectful and inclusive.
Is this a dating platform?
No. Hosts help protect the core: meaningful social dining in public restaurants — shared meals and real conversations. Hosts are expected to lead with kindness, respect, and inclusivity, and to follow our community guidelines so every table feels safe, welcoming and respectful.
