FAQ

Useful answers. No velvet-rope nonsense.

What to expect before applying, RSVPing, and showing up to your first AFTER BUSINESS CLUB dinner.

Is this networking?

No. No name tags, no pitch decks, no forced icebreakers. It is a curated dinner with people who understand the work.

Do I have to apply?

No manual acceptance is required in active cities. You create a dinner profile, join the membership, and book available dinners.

How are tables curated?

We use your city, profile, preferences, timing, and table availability to seat small groups with useful overlap.

When do I learn the venue?

The venue is revealed the morning of your dinner.

Can I see who is coming before dinner?

No. The point is to show up without profile-shopping. You meet people at the table first.

How does follow-up work?

After dinner, each person privately chooses who they’d like to reconnect with. A private chat opens only when both people say yes. If enough people opt into the table thread, the group can keep going too.

Is the meal included?

No. Your membership covers access and curation. Your meal is paid directly at the restaurant.

What if my city is not open yet?

Request access. We open rooms city by city when there is enough demand.

What happens if I no-show?

Canceling more than 24 hours before dinner is free. Inside 24 hours, or a no-show, is recorded as a late cancellation or no-show and may affect future booking access. Two strikes inside six months can end the membership. We hold the line because the table is a small group of people who rearranged their week.
