DNNR: How It Works (the full version)
A Guide for Dinner Club Owners
DNNR is a white-labeled dinner club platform that lets you send your audience out to curated dinners — while earning revenue and building real-world belonging.
You set the date and neighborhood.
We handle the rest.
1. The Guest Experience
Step 1: Guests Take the Personality Quiz
Each guest completes a short but thoughtful questionnaire designed to understand:
Personality and social style
Interests and values
Energy level and dinner vibe
Logistics (dietary restrictions, phone number, etc.)
This allows us to match guests intentionally — not randomly.
Step 2: They Book a Seat
Standard ticket price: $15.99
(Some communities in more affluent markets charge up to $30 per seat.)
Important:
The ticket price does not include food or drinks.
Guests split the tab at the restaurant or request separate checks.
The ticket covers curation, matching, logistics, and experience design.
Step 3: We Match Tables of 6
Guests are placed into curated tables of six.
Why six?
Big enough for energy
Small enough for depth
Ideal for psychological safety
Matching considers:
Personality compatibility
Shared interests
Social openness
Energy level
Gender balance (when possible)
Age range (when relevant to the community)
We optimize for conversation chemistry, not demographic sorting.
As your dinner club grows, the system improves through:
Guest feedback ratings
Post-dinner surveys
Repeat attendance behavior
The algorithm gets smarter over time.
Step 4: Restaurant Reveal (Morning Of)
The morning of dinner:
Guests receive the restaurant location
Reservation is already handled
The table is booked and confirmed
We manage restaurant coordination and confirmations.
Step 5: The Secret After-Party
During dinner, guests receive the after-party location via SMS and email.
All tables unite at a nearby bar.
This creates:
Cross-table mixing
Shared energy
A memorable “IRL moment”
2. Pricing & Revenue
Revenue Split
DNNR operates on a simple revenue share:
30% to DNNR
70% to you (the Dinner Club Owner)
There are:
No restaurant kickbacks
No hidden fees
No operational lift required from you
Payments & Payouts
All payments are powered by Stripe.
You simply:
Connect your Stripe account
Set your own payout schedule
Receive your 70% automatically
Stripe handles payment processing and transfers securely.
3. Cancellation Policy
We make cancellation simple and transparent.
Guests have ample opportunities to cancel:
Cancellation links are included in all emails
Accessible directly from their Dinner Club dashboard
72+ Hours Before Dinner
Guests automatically receive a full refund.
Within 72 Hours of Dinner
No refund.
(That’s the penalty for bailing on your future besties.)
When late cancellations happen:
DNNR is notified immediately
The matching algorithm reshuffles tables
We optimize to ensure as many full tables as possible
This protects table chemistry and minimizes awkward “missing seat” scenarios.
4. What You Do vs. What We Do
You:
Choose the date
Choose the city or neighborhood
Connect Stripe
Announce to your audience
We:
Collect registrations
Run matching
Book restaurants
Coordinate after-party
Send all guest communications (email + SMS)
Handle cancellations & reshuffling
Process payments

You focus on energy and promotion.
We focus on infrastructure.
5. Philosophy
DNNR exists to rebuild in-person belonging at scale.
Six strangers at a table can:
Start a company
Form a friendship
Meet a future spouse
Or just feel less alone
This is infrastructure for IRL community.
And community builders should earn.
