Hear when booking opens
We’ll let you know when you can book a dinner in Chicago. See the plan, choose your night and come as you are.
The table
A seat beats a swipe.
Apps taught everyone to judge people in a photo. A table works differently. Six people, some food, and a couple of hours are enough to find out who you actually get on with.
This is the shape of a KF.Social table. It is what Chicago gets when it opens.
Six people, none of whom have met. That is the whole format.
Table starters
Never open with "so, what do you do?"
Every table needs a first question. Draw a card and try it on your next dinner. Or on the colleague next to you right now.

Working today
Dinners come later. The app works now.
Communities
Join groups built around what you are into, from food and books to running and board games.
Chat that feels human
Group chats, voice notes and photos to keep the conversation going after the plates are cleared.
Not a dating app.
No swiping, no matches, no romance. KF.Social is for friendship: shared tables, communities and conversations with people in Chicago who want the same thing you do.
Make a local plan
More ways to connect in Chicago
Give a local natural area a hand
Chicago Park District lists community stewardship workdays at different sites. Choose the current listing, contact its steward and check tasks, access, clothing and facilities. A shared practical job can be a comfortable way to meet people while helping a place you care about.
Find a crew at your pace
CARA Run Crews welcome runners and walkers, with a free Friend-level membership route. Check the chosen crew’s meeting point, pace options and sign-up instructions. A regular local session is more useful than a citywide promise that every run is nearby.

Questions, answered.
Are KF.Social dinners running in Chicago?
Join Chicago’s founding dinner waitlist to hear when its first tables open. We’ll share the venue and date when booking is ready. Dinners are bookable in London today.
How do I get KF.Social to Chicago?
Get the app, choose Chicago in the dinner city selector, then explicitly join its dinner waitlist. Installing the app or changing your profile city does not join the waitlist. If installation loses the city, select it again in the app.
What can I use the app for in the meantime?
Meet and connect with people online on KF.Social. Explore shared interests and start a conversation while you wait for your city’s first dinners.
How will the dinners work when they start in Chicago?
We pick the restaurant, the night and the small group, matched by age, interests and the part of the city you are in. You book a seat and turn up. Nobody hosts, nobody picks the cuisine, and you see the plan before you commit.
Is KF.Social a dating app?
No. KF.Social is for making friends: shared dinners, interest communities and group chat. Guests can choose to confirm who they are with an ID check, and you see the tick if they have.
