    See who’s free today

    Each profile shows role, company and what connects you: maybe they’re looking for freelance work that you offer. Further down, they say what they’d like to talk about over lunch.

    A label like “Open for lunch today” tells you who’s free. Tap “Lunch” to show interest, or “Not a fit” to move on.

    Say what you’re up for

    Brunch, lunch, coffee, dinner or drinks after work. Your status only lasts for today and clears itself.

    You choose who sees it: everyone, or just your contacts.

  3. Chat with Mateo Ruiz: a suggestion to talk through the mural over lunch at Borchardt, and the confirmed lunch for tomorrow.

    From chat to lunch

    Once you’ve both shown interest, you’re connected and can message each other. Suggest a place and time right in the chat.

    They can accept or suggest a different time.

  4. Planner: a confirmed lunch with Mateo, a suggestion from James, the open Cross-Industry Lunch and your Founders Lunch.

    All your meetings in the Planner

    The Planner puts everything on one timeline: confirmed meetings, new suggestions and open group lunches nearby. Anything waiting on your reply is highlighted.

    Or join a table

    Open group lunches show the host, who’s coming, the time and how many seats are left. Join right away, or request a seat if the host approves guests first.

    You can also host your own: pick a spot on the map, set a time and choose whether everyone or just your contacts can see it.

Common questions

How much does Lunchdate cost?

Lunchdate is free: Discover, chats, meetings and group lunches work without a subscription. Pro is optional, for example for Travel Mode in other cities.

Who is Lunchdate for?

For anyone who wants to meet new people through work. Your profile shows what you’re looking for, like freelance work, a new job, people for your team or contacts in a new city.

Where can I use Lunchdate?

Anywhere. Discover shows you the people around you, whichever city you’re in.

What can others see about my location?

Nobody sees your exact location. Others see at most your town or city, like “Berlin”, and roughly how close you are, like “Nearby”.

Who can message me?

A one-on-one chat only starts once you’ve both shown interest. In a group lunch, you chat with everyone who’s coming.
