MARBLE, JUST NAME A TIME AND PLACE. Marble offers a new approach to dating that encourages members to put down their phones and meet in real life. We are a private community where people connect by inviting one another to reservations at restaurants and cocktail bars. Marble members set a date with someone first and message later, streamlining the dating process and providing for a more direct, fun and efficient experience. Plus, members can bond over cuisine, ambiance, and places they enjoy. Nobody wants a pen pal. People are done wasting time and energy on swiping, matching, and engaging in pointless back and forth leading nowhere. Marble is transforming the way people date. HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: 1. Book a reservation for 2, share it with the community and find someone to join you OR 2. Browse dates created by other members and join them on their reservation 3. Access the chat once the date is set MARBLE’S DIFFERENTIATORS: * Plan your date before chatting * Requires reservations at restaurants or cocktail bars * Maximum of 3 dates simultaneously MARBLE’S UNIQUE FEATURES: * Map Feature: Explore the map for dates created by other Marble members and ask to join them on their reservation * Easy Date Creation: Just copy and paste your reservation confirmation link from the booking platform, select whether the date will be food or drinks, select who’s paying, and add an optional date description * Maximum of 3 Dates Simultaneously: Focus on just a few people at once and avoid becoming overwhelmed * Timed Invites/Requests: Respond to invites to join someone’s date or requests to join your date within 24 hours, that way no one is left hanging * Chat Feature: Access the chat only once the date is set with another Marble member * Date Confirmation: Members are prompted to confirm they’re going 24 hours before the date * Date Cancellation: Members have the ability to cancel a date in the app for any reason, so long as it is at least 2 hours prior to the time of the reservation * Notifications Tab: View all your notifications in one place APPLICATION AND SUBSCRIPTION INFO Prospective members may download the app and submit an application.
