The dinner where
you know nobody.
Book one seat. We find the other five and choose the restaurant. A$29 — and we don't take it until the table is real.
We don't run one table, we run three. One table with bad chemistry is five people who never come back.
We charge you the moment the table is real. Not a minute before.
The seat. Held on your card today, taken only once four people have booked the same night.
People at your table, give or take one. Every one of them a stranger who booked exactly the way you did.
One evening. Order what you want, pay the restaurant for your own food, go home.
Four moves. Then you're eating.
No profile to build. No bio to agonise over. No feed to scroll. You're booking a chair at a dinner — the work is ours.
Put a card down
A hold, the way a hotel does it. Nothing is charged. A minute, and you're done until the night.
We charge, and name the place
At four bookings the night is on. A$29 comes off, and you get the restaurant, the address and the booking name.
Turn up and eat
Two hours, give or take. Order what you want, settle your own bill — same as anyone at any other table.
One private question
For each person: would you sit with them again? Nobody is ever told your answer. Not them. Not anyone.
You know the restaurant before you pay.
Not a dating app. And not because we say so.
Four mechanics. They aren't settings, they aren't buried in a menu, and there's no version of this where we quietly switch them on later.
No photos before you meet
You won't see a face until you sit down, and neither will anyone else. Nobody gets judged on a thumbnail.
No swiping, no matching
Nobody is paired with anybody, by us or by an algorithm. You're seated at a table of people. That's the whole unit.
No messages from strangers
You can only message someone you've actually shared a table with. There's no inbox from people you've never met.
No argument when you want out
Block is one tap. A report blocks automatically. One switch turns off one-to-one messaging entirely, for good.
We remember who you liked. We never tell them.
Most dinners like this are a one-night event. You meet five people, two of them are genuinely great, and by Monday the system has forgotten all of it. Next time you start again from zero. Again, and again.
That one private answer the next morning is the fix. When we seat a later night, we prefer to put people back together who both said yes — but only if you've each booked that night yourselves.
Nothing is arranged for you. Nothing is announced. Nobody is told they were chosen, and nobody is told they weren't. Over a few months, the people you keep saying yes to are simply the people you keep ending up next to.
The questions you'd actually ask.
What if the table doesn't fill?
Then it doesn't run, and you're not charged. The hold drops off on its own. You keep your place at the front of the queue for the next one.
What if I turn up and two people are there?
That can't happen. We don't run a night until four people have booked and paid, and you only get the restaurant once they have. If fewer than four actually sit down, your A$29 comes back.
When does the first dinner happen?
When eighteen people in the zone have put a card down. We'd rather move the night by a week and tell you why than seat you at a thin table.
The number on this page is live, and it's the real one.
Does the A$29 cover dinner?
No. A$29 buys the seat — finding five people worth eating with, choosing the restaurant, making the booking, seating the table. You order what you like and pay the restaurant for your own food.
Who else is at the table?
Four to seven people, all of whom booked exactly the way you did, none of whom you've met. We tell you nothing about them beforehand, and we tell them nothing about you.
I don't want to walk in alone the first time.
Bring one person. One pair per table, so the night still works — everyone else is still a stranger to both of you.
What if I need to cancel?
Before the table fills, nothing has been charged, so there's nothing to cancel. After that the seat is yours and the A$29 is spent — five other people are counting on the table being the size we said it was. The full position is in our refund policy.
