## What is The Weekend Club?

The Weekend Club is a safety-first Lifestyle app that turns your weekend into an intentional offline ritual: a curated brunch conversation with five new people at a restaurant we’ve already reserved.

No endless DMs. No awkward inviting. No pressure to perform.
Just real conversation, clear boundaries, and a format that respects your time.

*Why people join (and why it fits how younger generations socialize)
Today, many of us want connection—but not the chaos:
- We value authenticity over curated online personas
- We want safer, moderated spaces with clear rules
- We prefer low-pressure, in-person experiences over scrolling
- We care about inclusion, consent, and respectful boundaries
The Weekend Club is built around those values—so showing up feels easier and safer.

1) Verified members, reviewed by our team
To reduce impersonation, scams, and inappropriate behavior, members are asked to complete front-camera face verification, followed by human review to confirm:
the account belongs to a real person, and
the verification aligns with the submitted basic profile details.
Members who don’t complete verification may still join, but are treated as higher-risk and charged a higher signup fee to discourage abuse and protect verified participants.

2) You provide context; our AI builds a 6-person table
Sign up in the app or on the web and share:
- basic profile (age, gender, occupation)
- social intent + a short self-intro
- after-brunch preferences (coffee, walk, exhibitions, etc.)
- countries visited + languages spoken
- Choose your city/date/time slot, then pay a signup fee designed to reduce no-shows.
- After payment, our AI matches you into the best-fitting group of six and assigns your table to a pre-booked restaurant. Each restaurant/time slot hosts only one table of six, keeping the experience organized and predictable.

3) Clear details released one day before brunch, you’ll see:
- the restaurant location + meeting instructions
- each attendee’s one-line intro, occupation, and zodiac sign
- guided ice-breakers and conversation prompts
- No personal contact info is shared upfront. You stay in control.

4) Feedback + compliments that improve the community
After brunch, participants leave feedback and can see whether others left:
- positive ratings
- compliments and supportive notes
This reinforces respectful behavior and continuously improves matching quality.

5) Reliability systems: risk tiers + blacklist isolation
We maintain strict reliability and safety controls. Users may be flagged and isolated through higher fees and participation limitations if they:
- don’t show up (no-show)
- receive repeated negative feedback
- create multiple accounts
- remain unverified
- Serious or repeated violations may result in suspension or removal.

The Weekend Club is for people who want real connection with clear boundaries—a modern way to spend weekends that feels healthier than scrolling and more reliable than “maybe plans.”

### 5/5 — Not for dating

*2025-08-07*

I love how there’s an app now that is focused on making friends! I would say this app is between dating app and networking event where you only meet with a small group of people at a time so it’s not overwhelming. The app is easy to navigate and love the design!

### 5/5 — Excited for this new club!

I’m really enjoying The Weekend Club so far! The app is super easy to navigate, and I love how it matches you with people who share similar interests. It’s such a fun way to meet new friends and have brunch at the same time. Looking forward to more great connections!

### 1/5 — 概念很好 客服很跩

*2025-07-20, version 2.2*

內容概念什麼都很好，但有一次不小心誤觸取消，但沒有辦法退款立即跟客服回信客服態度就是你自己衰的感覺感受非常的差完全沒有鳥你的意思基本上不會太回信，所以大家請自求多福；但聚會認識的人是很好的

### 5/5 — 感恩讓我認識大神們

同桌剛好有海歸科技外商工程師跟獵人頭，謝謝傳授許多面試技巧跟介紹內推，這一餐有夠值！

### 5/5 — 擴大舒適圈

*2025-04-15, version 2.1.2*

在這早午餐的餐桌上，你能感覺到舒適圈不是用來突破的，是用來擴大的！
在這裡一切皆有可能，從別人的生活故事發現自己新的面貌吧～

### 5/5 — 有趣的經驗

*2025-04-09, version 2.1.2*

比起晚餐，身為晨型人，更喜歡週末的早午餐，吃完還有下午的時間可以運用或輕鬆的續攤（對timeleft晚餐後去夜店high沒什麼興趣🤣）
每個遇見的人都很有趣！

### 5/5 — 擴大舒適圈的好方法
