Take a personality quiz, get matched with four to six strangers, and the app picks the restaurant and handles the reservation.
How it works
Download the app and take a personality quiz that covers your interests, conversation style, and what you're looking for in a dinner companion. Pick your city and a date that works. DayOfUs's algorithm assembles a table of four to six people with complementary personalities and handles the restaurant reservation. On the day of your dinner, you'll get the venue details. Show up, sit down, and meet your group. The app also includes icebreaker prompts if the table needs a nudge.
What to love
Available in 13+ cities across four continents — significantly wider reach than most dinner-matching apps. Personality-based matching creates genuinely compatible tables. The app handles the entire reservation so there's zero logistics on your end. Affordable entry point at ~$13 per dinner. Smaller group sizes (4-6) keep conversations intimate.
Who it's for
People who loved the idea of Timeleft but want more city options — DayOfUs operates across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Anyone who prefers smaller, more intimate groups over large mixers. Newcomers to a city who want a low-effort way to meet people over a meal. Introverts who do better in curated small-group settings than open-ended networking events.
Reality check
Still relatively new — no public ratings yet on the App Store. iOS only, no Android app. No structured post-dinner community or follow-up features. Restaurant selection may be limited in newer cities.
Søren's Take
DayOfUs is essentially Timeleft's younger sibling with a wider passport. The core mechanic is identical — personality quiz, algorithm-matched dinner group, restaurant booked for you — but it's already live in cities across Asia, Australia, and Europe that Timeleft hasn't fully penetrated. The lack of ratings suggests it's early days, which means smaller user pools in some cities. But the price is right, the model is proven, and if it's available where you live, it's worth a shot.
