Questions
Everything, explained.
How much does it cost, and how is the price worked out?
The app is free. The host estimates the groceries, and Sqwat splits them across every place, the host’s own included: the host pays their share like everyone else. The price shown includes the Sqwat fee (5 % plus €0.99 per place). It’s set from the start and doesn’t change, even if some places stay empty. Your card is held when you ask for a place, and only charged if the host accepts you.
Max price or fixed price: what’s the difference?
With a max price, you pay at most the price shown: after the meal, the host enters what they really spent, and you get the difference back. With a fixed price, you pay the price shown, whatever the receipt says. And in a private or secret sqwat, the host can also cover everything: their guests pay nothing.
What the tax office says: does the host make money?
At home, it’s cost sharing: as long as the host eats with their guests and what they pay doesn’t exceed the real cost of the groceries, it isn’t income. Anything the host receives above that is taxable income they must declare. That’s why Sqwat works out the price from the groceries. For to-go sqwats, the rule is stricter: one to-go sqwat a week at most (beyond that, it becomes a catering business, with a professional kitchen and licences), and what the host receives is taxable, even if it only pays back the groceries.
What if the evening runs on and I open an extra bottle?
It’s on you: the price is set upfront, so your guests don’t pay anything more.
Do I need to be a good cook to host?
No. Soup, pasta, a raclette: what matters is the table. The app makes your shopping list and guides you in the kitchen, step by step.
I don’t know anyone. Isn’t that weird?
That’s what public sqwats are for: new faces, two streets from home. Rather stay among friends, or friends of friends? Make it a private or secret sqwat.
Who sees my address?
Only your confirmed guests, once their place is accepted.
What if I need to cancel?
Up to 24 hours before, you get your share back, minus the service fee. If the host cancels, you’re refunded in full.
Vegetarian, pork-free, allergic?
Say it once in your profile: Sqwat warns you when a menu doesn’t suit you.
How old do I need to be?
You need to be 18 to have an account. Your children come with you: add them to your profile, and they join your request.
When can I sign up?
Sqwat is in beta, by invitation. Leave your email: we’ll write as soon as the app is in the stores.
