You can host your own event here. Just add your event details, select venue options, and you’re ready to go!

You can host an event in any major city

There is no capacity limit for events! If you want to keep events intimate but still accommodate unlimited attendees, consider creating a “Breakout Dinners” event.

Simply select “Single Venue” when creating an event, and you’ll be able to enter any special requests and accommodations.

Events can’t be adjusted once created, please call the venue directly if you need to make a change. Cancellations with enough advanced notice can easily be changed or cancelled.

Anything from casual friends dinners to corporate sales events. Make any event easily with Banquette.

Simply select the option for volunteer hosting when creating an event, and specify any hosting guidelines. As attendees register, requests for hosting will be sent to you for approval.

Depending on your choice of Single Venue or Breakout Dinners, attendees will either be matched into dinner tables or given a match score among all attendees. The goal is to make sure attendees get the most out of the event and build genuine connections!

You can leave your event public for anyone on the Banquette platform to search and join.

The short answer is, you can do both. Hosting an event is perfect if you are planning to physically show up. Breakout Dinners are better for large, dispersed communities that prefer to rely on volunteer hosts at each dinner.

You set up your event page, create attendee matchmaking criteria, and share with your community. Once it’s live, AI automatically groups attendees into tables of 6-8 and assigned restaurant reservations. Attendees are given clear instructions, so you don’t need to worry about a thing.

We handle everything from setting up like-minded groups, guiding attendees on checking in, even facilitating engaging conversations. Rest assured, all your hosts have to do is follow your instructions and show up.

Yes, that’s one of the main reasons communities rely on Banquette. You can’t be everywhere all the time, so let your community lead their own events.

For Breakout Dinners many of our restaurant partners require a card on file for no shows. For Single Venue bookings, venues typically require a minimum spend to be met.

Absolutely! Banquette Concierge can take care of all of your special requests and accommodations.

Attendees are prompted to either ask for separate checks or split amongst themselves.

Our proprietary AI takes into account multiple factors such as interests, cuisine preferences, and other custom questions that you can set for your event.

Yes! By adding custom questions and fine tuning to your event, our AI can use this added context to enhance the user matching.

Every Banquette is reserved at a public venue, so there’s no fear of a dangerous location. We also maintain a high level of anonymity, with no potential for catfishing, bullying, or targeting. Banquette has safeguards in place to avoid uncomfortable situations, but If you’re ever feeling threatened, you can always report users and ensure you will not be matched again.
