The problem

Finding people who want to try new things with you shouldn't be this hard.

You have friends. That isn't the problem. The problem is that four of you can't agree on a date, two cancel, and the new place you wanted to try is still a screenshot in your camera roll six months later. Trying something new needs someone to organise it, someone to pick, and someone willing to go first — and most weeks, nobody is all three.

So we do it instead. We choose the place, pick the night, and put five people at the table who said yes to the same thing. All you do is turn up.

No swiping

You get the seat or you don't. No matches, no inbox, no one to chase across an app.

No profiles

We never show a face, an age, or a bio. The night itself is the introduction.

No head

Round tables, always. Nobody hosts, nobody sits at the head — everyone is across from someone.

How it works · start to table

Three steps. We do the rest.

Join the list

Your email and number, nothing else. We're seating the first Delhi tables now and going in order — no application, no interview.

You'll hear from us before your first Thursday. Leave whenever you like.

Take the seating quiz

Eight questions, three minutes. We read how you actually are at a table — not a profile, a place setting.

It decides who you sit with, and who you don't. No photo, no age, no bio.

Thursday, 7:07 PM

Your WhatsApp buzzes with the place and the night. You turn up, pay your own bill, and stay as long as the table wants to.

Somewhere you probably wouldn't have picked. That's most of the point.

Six people, similar enough to click and different enough to be interesting. A human reads every table before the 7:07 drop.

The matching · a place setting, not a photo

Five ways of showing up. We build tables where they meet.

An eight-question quiz reads you across five settings — we call it the table read. Then we seat groups where the settings overlap enough to spark, and differ enough to keep the night going to the fourth course and past it.

i.

Openness

How wide the door is when a stranger sits down.

ii.

Energy

Whether you lift the room or read it first.

iii.

Depth

How fast you leave small talk behind.

iv.

Humor

The dry aside or the belly laugh — we clock which.

v.

Adventure

Who says yes to the 11 PM plan nobody else will.

Trust & safety

Five members, zero unknowns.

verified

Government ID, every seat

Everyone uploads a valid ID before their first night. No anonymous chairs — every person at the table is real and verified.

verified

Public venues, always six

Every night is at a public restaurant, in a group of six. Never one-on-one, never a private address. The format is the safeguard.

verified

A code with teeth

Harassment, solicitation, or aggression means immediate, permanent removal. One message to us and we act — no second chances on safety.

verified

Women's safety, by design

Balanced tables as a rule, women-only nights on request, and you'll always know the neighbourhood before you say yes.

The waitlist is open

The next new thing you try, you won't have to organise.

Honest answers

Why “the fourth course”?

Because the fourth course is the one you remember. The first three are the meal — the fourth is what happens after the plates are cleared, when no one leaves and the strangers have become friends. That's the part we're in the business of. The dinner is just how we get you there.

Is this a dating app?

No. Round tables of six, mixed, built for conversation. People meet partners sometimes — it isn't the point, and it isn't the promise.

What does it cost to join the waitlist?

Nothing. The waitlist is free and there's no payment anywhere on this site. Membership pricing will be set before the first tables run, and anyone on the list hears it from us directly — with the option to walk away — before they're ever charged. You always pay your own bill at the venue.

Why 7:07 on Thursday?

It's the drop. Same ritual every week so you know when to look — venue, night, and your one-line persona land on WhatsApp at exactly 7:07 PM.

Will someone from the 4thCourse be there?

No. The six at the table are all matched members. We do the matching, the venue, and the prompts behind the scenes. On the night, it's just the six of you.

What kinds of nights?

Suppers, wine bars, listening rooms, gallery openings, Sunday walks, the occasional late drive. One curated format per table per week.

What if my table doesn't click?

Leave whenever you like, and tell us after. Your next table will look nothing like this one — that's the design working, not failing.

How soon do I get my first seat?

We're seating the first Delhi tables now, so it depends on where you land on the list and whether there are six near you who fit the same table. We'll tell you honestly where you are rather than leave you guessing.
