Timeleft addresses the social anxiety of dining alone by organizing dinners in various cities worldwide. Participants, who opt in every Wednesday, are assigned to groups, although the turnout can vary. The app provides icebreakers for conversation, which can foster connection among participants. Before the dinner, users share dietary preferences and budgets, and the restaurant details are kept secret until the day of the event, adding a sense of excitement. Co-founder Maxime Barbier highlights the diverse age range of participants as a key appeal, helping forge new friendships.
The dinners themselves aren't hosted or guided, but Timeleft has developed an app that provides a series of icebreakers to keep conversation rolling should discussion run dry.
Additionally, Timeleft doesn't reveal the restaurant's name or location until the morning of the dinner event. This calls for a bit of flexibility, yet also contributes to some excitement about the social experience.
