About Laughing Plate
Good food. Good conversation. That’s it.
The Simple Idea
Laughing Plate brings people together for dinners at local restaurants. No subscriptions, no fees, no complicated matching algorithms. Just real meals with real people.
Here’s how it works: a host picks a restaurant and sets a date. You sign up. You show up. You pay for your own meal. That’s it.
We’re not a dating app. We’re not a networking platform. We’re not a support group. We’re dinner.
Why Adults 40+?
We’re starting with adults 40 and older because this demographic often has fewer natural opportunities to meet new people. Kids are grown, careers are established, and the social circles from earlier life have often shifted.
But this isn’t about age—it’s about finding people who appreciate a good meal and good conversation without an agenda.
What We Believe
Keep It Simple
No profiles to optimize, no algorithms to game. Just show up and enjoy dinner.
Always Free
There’s no fee to join a dinner. You just pay for your own meal at the restaurant.
No Pressure
No expectations beyond having a pleasant dinner. Come once or come often.
Real Places
We meet at actual restaurants in your area—places with good food and good vibes.
