No experience required
Six strangers.
One table.
You pick the place.
That’s the whole format. You choose a burger place and a night. We handle the event page, the RSVPs, the check-in, and everything that happens after — so the only thing left for you is showing up and saying hello.
Free, always. No application, nothing to be approved for, no minimum following.
Burgers on the plane
Somewhere over America
Straight to In-N-Out
Still holding the Oscar
Fast food in the State Dining Room
Under a portrait of Lincoln
A cheeseburger in a ballgown
Governors Ball, every single year
Diner booth, no entourage
Just a plain cheeseburger
Cheers, then eat
The way most tables actually start
Eaten standing up
Because that's how it's done
Awards night, second course
The statue gets its own seat
Nobody eats one politely
And nobody minds
Ordered for the whole booth
The correct instinct
Out on the street, still eating
The night's not over
Two seats, two burgers
How most of these start
Presidents. Rock stars. People holding an Oscar in the other hand. A burger is the least pretentious reason on earth to get people in a room — which is exactly why it works on strangers.
Why bother
Making friends as an adult is genuinely hard. This is a workaround.
You meet your own city
Hosting puts you at the centre of a room you assembled. Six months of this and you know more interesting people in your city than most people meet in a decade.
Nobody has to be interesting yet
A dinner needs no premise beyond the food. There’s no talk to give, no theme to defend, and no awkward “so what do you do” round — the burgers carry the first ten minutes.
It compounds
Every table you run is recorded on your Passport. Hosts with a real history get trusted faster, fill tables faster, and get first look at partner offers as they arrive.
What you do
- Pick a burger place you already like.
- Pick a night. Any night — there’s no fixed day.
- Send the link to a few people.
- Turn up early and learn everyone’s name.
- Scan a QR code as people arrive.
Realistically about fifteen minutes of admin, most of it choosing where to eat.
What we do
- Build the event page and keep the link permanent.
- Take RSVPs, run the waitlist, hold the capacity.
- Email everyone a reminder the day before.
- Verify who actually showed up, by QR.
- Hand out stamps, points, and the option to swap details.
- Give you a recap afterwards you can post.
You never chase an RSVP, build a page, or keep a spreadsheet.
The night itself
Two hours, start to finish.
- −10 minYou get there firstGrab the table, tell the staff how many are coming. That’s the single biggest thing that makes a night feel run rather than improvised.
- 0:00People arrive one at a timeScan each Passport as they sit down. Two seconds each, and it’s what turns showing up into something that counts.
- 0:20Order, and stop hostingOnce food is ordered the table runs itself. Your job shifts to introducing people who haven’t spoken yet.
- 1:30The good partSomebody swaps numbers. Somebody says they’ll host the next one. This is the bit that keeps happening and never stops being satisfying.
- AfterYou do nothingEveryone gets their stamp and points automatically. You get a recap with who came and what happened.
Somebody has to pick the night. It may as well be you.
There’s no queue and no approval. Pick a place, pick a night, and send the link to three people who would enjoy it. That’s a Burger Club.
