Drinks for Sqwatters, not squatters.
Your drinks, your rules: no unwanted surprise guests. A home-made board, a glass, with your oldest friends or new faces: pre-drinks before dancing, or a games night that runs late.
Drinks, hour by hour.

With your mates, your club, or the whole neighbourhood.
Secret drinks for your crew, that nobody else can see. Private drinks, open to your year group or your football club through your circles. Or public drinks, to meet new people.
Don’t fancy going alone?
Keen to meet new faces, but not to walk in on your own? Bring your crew: your friends join your request, and you arrive together.
One request for the whole crewEach pays their place, or you treat themA link is enough, even without the app
Everyone pays their share.
No margin, no bill: the cost of the groceries is simply split, and you see your share before you book. No more endless sums, no more chasing Ben for three weeks: it’s all clear, and paid upfront.
Everything, explained.
What about drinks?
The host says what’s included in the price. And if they open an extra bottle, it’s on them: the price is set upfront.
I don’t know anyone. Isn’t that weird?
That’s what public sqwats are for. And you can bring a friend: one request for both of you.
Can I leave early?
Of course. You can leave at any time, no explanation needed.
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.
A sqwat for every moment.
