Who is OpenSeat for?

Those that dare to step out and step into new meal-sharing experiences.

OpenSeat allows individuals to host and attend meals within their community and beyond it.

As a host, it allows you to manage guest attendance and send catering and venue requests. As a guest, you get to find an open seat around someone else's table.

Want to cultivate a thriving community within your business, book club, church, or social group? OpenSeat Premium provides a dedicated space for your organisation to host and attend meals.

Build your own "walled garden" within the OpenSeat ecosystem and make meal-sharing an integral part of your culture.

OpenSeat allows private chefs to host and attend meals within their community and beyond it.

As a private chef, you can showcase your culinary skills and be hired by hosts who are looking to outsource their catering to a professional! Signup today and setup your catering profile from the drop down on your profile page.
