What it is

A meeting app that starts at a good table

Not a dating app and not a directory. A verified member picks a fine-dining restaurant in his city and a time; verified talent nearby accept or decline; the fee, the venue and the hour are fixed in the app before anyone leaves the house. Paid appearance, professional company, a table that reflects well on you.

Fine dining only

Bookings happen at approved restaurants — starred, hatted or on our reviewed list. No private addresses, no hotel rooms, no exceptions.

Verified on both sides

Members and talent both carry a verification tick. You can see the other side's standing before you accept, and so can they.

Swipe, chat, book

Nearby profiles free at your chosen hour pop up to swipe. Message in the in-app chat, then book. No agent, no negotiation, support on tap.

One meal, one fee

Breakfast, lunch or dinner, two hours at the table, from $500. The bill for the food is yours; the appearance fee is fixed in the app.

Three screens, no conversation needed

How it works

Four steps, either side of the table

If you are booking
01 Verify and join Photo ID, a selfie match and a live payment card, then $1,000 for the year. Unverified accounts cannot book anyone. Fashion Casting members go to the front of the verification queue; the Fashista year is billed separately.
02 Pick the table Set the city, the restaurant, the day and the hour. Profiles available nearby at that time pop up to swipe through.
03 Request and pay Swipe, then message her in the app chat before you commit. She accepts or declines inside 30 minutes; on acceptance the fee she set is held and the terms lock.
04 Meet at the restaurant Both sides check in at the table. Company, conversation and a good photograph if you both agree to one. You settle the food bill as normal.
If you are the talent
01 Apply and get verified ID, age and right-to-work checks by an authenticator, plus a short video call. Joining costs you nothing, now or later.
02 Set your terms Your fee from $500, your cities, the restaurants you will attend, the hours you are free, and what you do not accept. All of it is yours to set.
03 Accept what suits you You see the member's tick, standing and ratings before you answer. Declining costs you nothing and does not affect your listing.
04 Attend, and get paid Check in at the table. When the booking closes, 80% of the fee is released to your chosen method the same day.
Verification

Three ticks, and they mean the same thing on both sides

Every account carries one tick, visible to whoever they are about to meet. Members see the talent's tick; talent see the member's. Nobody is anonymous.

Blue tick · Verified
Talent

ID, age and right to work confirmed, photographs proven to be hers. Cleared to accept bookings.

Member

ID matched to a selfie and a live payment method. Cleared to request bookings.

Green tick · Trusted
Talent

Ten completed bookings, no late cancellations, rated 4.7 or above. Ranked higher in results and eligible for featured listings.

Member

Five completed bookings paid in full, no conduct reports, rated 4.7 or above by talent. Requests reach the top of the queue.

Red tick · Restricted
Talent

A no-show, a conduct report upheld, or an unresolved verification. Listing hidden until it is cleared with us.

Member

A failed payment, a breach of the table rules, or a report from talent. Cannot request until it is resolved. Serious breaches end the account.

A tick is a record of behaviour, not a compliment. It can go up and it can come down, and both sides can see which way it moved.

The money

One split, stated once

The fee is whatever the talent set, from $500 for a two-hour booking. She keeps 80%. We keep 20% and it covers verification, the platform and same-day payout. There is nothing else taken from either side.

Booking fee Every talent sets her own price, from $500 for a two-hour table. Longer bookings are priced per hour on top. From $500
Split Released to the talent the day the booking closes, by her chosen method. 70 / 30
Member membership Charged yearly at verification. No per-booking platform charge on top. $1,000 / year
Talent membership Nothing to join, nothing monthly, no charge for verification. $0
The food and wine Paid by the member at the restaurant, as at any table. Never taken from the talent's fee. Member pays
Late cancellation Inside 4 hours of the table time, the talent is paid half. No-show, paid in full. 50 / 100%
Where

Three cities first, then a hundred

Beta opens in London, New York and Dubai — the three cities where our talent and our restaurant list are already deep. Expansion follows demand, city by city, only where we can verify talent properly and hold a fine-dining list.

The rules of the table

What this is, and what it is not

Written plainly because it protects everyone. Both sides agree to these before a first booking, and breaking them ends the account.

A paid appearance at a restaurant

Company and conversation over a meal, at the venue and hour booked. That is the entire service.

Public venues only

Bookings exist only at approved restaurants. Any request to move to a private address ends the booking, paid in full to the talent.

No escort service, at all

Nothing intimate is offered, implied or purchasable. Asking for it is an immediate and permanent removal.

Either side can leave

Talent may end a booking early if a rule is broken, and is paid in full. One tap in the app records it and alerts our desk.

Adults, verified, 21+

Both sides are 21 or over with ID confirmed. No account is anonymous and no booking is off the record.

Privacy both ways

No photograph or detail from the table is published without the other side's consent, and profiles are never shown outside the app.

Beta opens to a short list

We are taking names for both sides in London, New York and Dubai. Tell us your city and which side of the table you are on.

Members

Book a table with company

Verification opens first for the beta cities. $1,000 a year, bookings from $500.
