Social eating - Surfingdinner

Hello Lausanne!


Some friends started a social eating platform in Lausanne. It is a great way to join people in the area for a meal or host one yourself. If you enjoy cooking, eating good food while meeting new people in town, check it out: wwww.surfingdinner.com


See you at a future event!

Thank you Karin! Yes, there has even been a radio and TV report on this new platform, both in French. Nevertheless most people posting event speak at least English, often several languages. Check out in events, I have share the next two ones me and my boyfriend are organizing.

Oh dear .  Whatever happened to good old fashioned dinner parties amongst friends (and guests) without:



looking for financial compensation
consulting your lawyer about your “rights”
putting away your valuables before guests arrive
charging your guests 100% if they don’t give 24 hours cancellation

Yes, really!  That’s what the website advises.


Sorry – but I can think of nothing more ghastly.

Dear Carolyn,


I'm sorry to read that you perceive this as a money making approach. To me personally it does not feel like this.


I can at least speak for my events / dinners, they are just covering my purchase costs if they get fully booked (my work and time is for free). It's a bit like joining a Jaspers Drinks and paying for your drinks (you would not expect to get invited, right?).


A social eating platform will hopefully not replace nice dinners with friends. It is to me a great way to share a meal/ food experience at home with new people versus posting a dinner in a restaurant. For the guests it is much cheaper than going to a restaurant and a much more personal experience.


I hope I was able to give you a different perpective. Maybe you can try once so that you can get a first hand experience. 


Have a great Sunday!


Silvia
