@robertoscaccia Maybe I misread the site: isn't the point that Suppershare lets you join others for dinner? IE: I host a dinner by cooking stuff and people come eat with me?
That's an awesome thing. I love cooking and eating other people's food. When I think of Airbnb for kitchens though it sounds like I'll be able to rent other people's kitchens—IE: I got to their kitchen to cook when I need to.
Think of the difference between Getaround and Lyft—one is about sharing the tool, one is about sharing the result.
Note: this is dumb pedantry—I recognize what I said really has no bearing on what you're actually doing.

I have been to a dinner and the experience was awesome. I wonder if the hosts have the same experience. How does SupperShare screen people that come to the meals, to ensure the safety of the host? How do you achieve consistency and trust?
Hi Will, Airbnb allows you to share your home, Lyft lets you share your car and SupperShare enables you to open your kitchen and host shared dinners that bring people together and strengthen community. With every seat, we donate $1 to a charity partner to give back and strengthen our communities at the local level.
SupperShare is a community where hosts and guests come together over a home-cooked meal. We really appreciate your feedback on our language and branding.
We typically describe ourselves as a peer-to-peer platform focused on building community, one shared meal at a time. You totally right regarding Lyft and Getaround. SupperShare platform is a tool for people to share meals and meet new people. In doing so, the result is a community-oriented experience that connects people and supports local causes.
@gabsong I am glad you have enjoyed our SupperShare experience.
To answer your question about "safety of the host", at the moment we are building a trusted network of users in a few different ways, and soon will introduce also an ID verification feature:
- We ask and verify the personal information of each guest (phone number & email), beside requesting to connect the FB account.
- Hosts can get to know the guests through detailed profiles and reviews (both hosts and guests can review each other)
- Messaging: Hosts can email a guest to ask for more info
- Approval system: every time a guest requests a seat, the host has to approve the request. Once the request is approved the guest receives a confirmation email with information about the Supper.
