Dutch is a social dining app for adults 18+ that helps you meet someone new over a shared meal at a real restaurant—with clear expectations and fairness at the table. A MEAL WE SHARE, THEN SPLIT FAIR We make it easy to share a meal with someone new at a participating restaurant, with transparency and fairness. No games. No awkward bill moments. Meals are for friendly, platonic dining—not for dating or romance through the app. WHY DUTCH EXISTS Many people want simple, in-person conversation without pressure. Dutch helps you find a shared meal at a restaurant, with clear expectations around cost and a focus on respectful, public settings. HOW DUTCH WORKS • Create a profile — Add a photo and a short bio so others know who they're meeting. • Choose a meal — Browse participating restaurants with available reservation slots. • Get matched — Dutch pairs you with someone for a shared meal, described as platonic social dining. • Eat together — Meet at the restaurant, enjoy the meal, and talk in a safe, public setting. • Split fair — Each person pays their share. Transparent and fair. WHAT DUTCH IS (AND ISN'T) Dutch is: A platonic social dining platform for adults. Focused on real-world meals at restaurants. Built around clarity and fairness. Dutch is not: A dating service. Not for arranging romantic relationships. Not speed dating, professional networking, or private meetups outside normal restaurant dining. Download Dutch to share your next meal with someone new—fairly and at the table. IN-APP PURCHASE / PAID SUBSCRIPTION (NOT INCLUDED WITH FREE DOWNLOAD) Dutch is free to download. Full access to membership features—including completing onboarding as a member, using the app’s full dining discovery and participation features as offered in the current version, and any features labeled as part of “membership” or “PRO” in the app—requires a separate paid purchase inside the app: an auto-renewable subscription (monthly, 6‑month, or annual plans). This paid content is not included when you only download the app for free. Subscription price, length, free trial (if any), and auto‑renewal terms are shown on the purchase screen in the app before you buy, and in your Apple ID account settings. You can cancel renewal at any time in Settings. Without purchasing a subscription in the app, you do not receive full membership access and may be unable to use some or all of the features described below that depend on an active membership.
