Eating out is better with company. Mate Eats helps you find someone to share a meal with — tonight, this weekend, or whenever you feel like going out.
Post the meal you want, pick a few restaurants you like, and people nearby ask to join. You meet at the restaurant and eat together. That's it.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Create a meal request
Choose the occasion — breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, drinks or coffee — set a time, and shortlist one to three restaurants near you.
2. Choose who can join
Find a New Mate puts your request on the map, so people nearby can ask to join. Invite My Mates sends a private invitation to people you already know, and never appears on the map.
3. Accept the people you want
You decide who joins. Every request has a set number of spots.
4. Confirm the restaurant
Pick one of your shortlisted places. Everyone is notified.
5. Meet and eat
The group chat opens so you can sort out the details. Then you turn up and enjoy the meal.
6. Rate each other
Ratings build trust, so you know who you're meeting next time.
WHAT YOU GET
Nearby restaurants on a map
Browse partner restaurants near you, with cuisine, distance and average price per person.
Discounts worth turning up for
Partner restaurants run offers for Mate Eats diners — a percentage off, a fixed amount off the bill, or something extra on the house.
People looking to dine
See who nearby is planning a meal and ask to join theirs instead of starting your own.
Group chat
Once a meal is confirmed, everyone in the group can talk, share a photo, or drop a pin so nobody gets lost.
Your mates
Add the people you enjoyed eating with, and invite them directly next time.
Saved places
Keep the restaurants and offers you want to come back to.
WHAT MATE EATS IS NOT
There is no food ordering, no delivery, no table booking and no payments in the app. You pay the restaurant directly, exactly as you would on any other night out.
SAFETY
Mate Eats is for people aged 18 and over. You can report or block anyone, manage your blocked list in the app, and delete your account and data at any time from Profile, Settings, Delete Account.
WHERE IT WORKS
Mate Eats is launching in Australia with partner restaurants in Perth, and we're adding more. Restaurants appear on the map once their owner has joined and we've approved them.
