Your passion, at the table.
Diving, photography, role-playing games: find people near you who share your passion, and get together over a themed dinner.
The London divers’ dinner.
Enthusiast circles post their own sqwats: a divers’ dinner to plan the next trip, a role-playing night with the current campaign, a photo exhibition on the living-room wall.
Your circle opens a sqwat? You hear about it.
Every sqwat posted in one of your circles reaches you as a notification, with the date, the place and your share. Your seat is one tap away.
The tables that suit you, and only those.
Veggie, vegan, gluten-free: turn on “Matches my diet”, and your feed only shows the sqwats that suit you, based on your profile.
Invite your friends, see each other more often.
Bring your friends into the circle: every sqwat posted reaches them, and you get together more often than at the AGM.

Lovely host, very clean flat, and finally people who laugh at my DM jokes.
Ratings, so you know you’ll have a good time.
Cooking, cleanliness and atmosphere for the host; punctuality and manners for the guests: every meal is rated, and it’s all on the profile.
A circle for every passion.
Find other enthusiasts near you, or create the circle that’s missing: public to welcome the curious, private to keep it among yourselves.

Everything, explained.
There’s no circle for my passion.
Create it: public so other enthusiasts can find you, private to choose who gets in. Your first themed sqwat will do the rest.
Do we need to be at the same level?
No: beginners and experts mix really well around a table. It’s actually where you learn the most.
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.
Sqwat, for everyone.
