Meet people over great food at the city’s favourite spots.

Welcome to the table! #dine exists to make in-person connection effortless. To ensure every dining experience is respectful, enjoyable, and smooth, we ask all members (Hosts and Guests) to follow these core principles.

1. The #dine Spirit

We believe in the power of meaningful, in-person conversation.

• Be Present: We encourage members to keep phones away while at the table. The best connections happen when everyone is fully engaged.

• Be Inclusive: Whether you are dining with "People You Know" or "New People," treat everyone with curiosity and kindness. We are a community of diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

2. The "Commitment" Rule

Because #dine handles real-world reservations, your RSVP is a serious commitment.

• Punctuality is Priority: Restaurants hold tables for a limited time. Aim to arrive 5 minutes early. Arriving late affects the flow of the meal for everyone else.

• No-Show Policy: Failing to show up without notice is the biggest disruption to our community. Frequent no-shows or late cancellations (less than 24 hours) may result in account suspension or a "No-Show Fee" to protect our restaurant partners.

• Update Early: If your plans change, use the #dine link to update your status immediately.

3. Real Identity & Trust

• Be You: Use your real name and an accurate photo (if requested). Trust is the foundation of our community.

• No Hidden Agendas: #dine is for social connection. Do not use dining experiences to pitch business opportunities, sell products, or recruit for other organizations.

4. Respect & Boundaries

• Safe Space: We have zero tolerance for harassment, discrimination, or aggressive behavior. This applies to both your digital interactions and your conduct at the restaurant.

• Respect the Venue: Remember that you are a guest of the restaurant. Follow their house rules and treat the staff with the same respect you show your fellow diners.

• Bill Splitting: Unless otherwise specified by the host, expect to pay for your own portion of the meal. Be mindful and fair when the bill arrives.

5. Privacy & Consent

• Photo Etiquette: Always ask for permission before taking a photo that includes other diners. Some members prefer to keep their dining experiences private.

• Data Privacy: Never share the personal contact information (phone numbers or names) of people you meet through #dine without their explicit consent.

6. Enforcement

We take these guidelines seriously to protect the quality of the #dine experience.

• Reporting: If a member violates these guidelines during a dinner, please report it to us via hello@hashtagdine.com.

• Consequences: Violations may lead to a warning, temporary suspension, or permanent removal from the #dine community.
