Minimum Attendee Requirement

Why we require at least 30 attendees for a dinner club to run.

Written by Ana Rivera

To create the best possible experience, dinner clubs require a minimum of 30 attendees per location before they can move forward.

Larger groups lead to:

  • Better personality matches

  • Stronger table dynamics

  • Better restaurant experiences

  • More successful afterparties

  • Higher attendee satisfaction overall

Running a dinner involves significant coordination behind the scenes — including restaurant sourcing, reservations, seating optimization, customer support, and logistics management.

Smaller groups often lead to:

  • Limited matching quality

  • Fewer compatible tables

  • Lower-quality restaurant allocations

  • More cancellations and refund requests

We’ve found that the bigger the community, the better the experience is for everyone involved.

Our goal is always to create dinners people genuinely want to come back to — not just fill seats.
