Why ZoupAround exists
We believe that eating together is one of the simplest and most authentic ways to get to know each other.
The city is full of closed doors: ZoupAround opens some of them, one dinner at a time.
We don't organize events: we help people meet.
About us
ZoupAround was born from a very simple idea: to bring together people who want to share a meal and some time together. That's it. No commission, no intermediary, no complications.
When you add a place at the table, you experience the pleasure of meeting diverse thoughts and cultures. Eating at someone's home is discovering the world of others.
The Host decides what to cook, when to do it and what expense contribution to ask to cover the meal costs. The Guest takes part in the meal, contributes to the meal costs, and enjoys the experience. The rest is done by conversation.
ZoupAround is not a restaurant, not a catering service, but a socialisation platform. Technology to bring people together in real life.
We believe that eating together is one of the most beautiful and immediate ways to get to know each other. And if we can help people meet around a table, then we have already done the right thing.
