Hungry? Don't eat alone.

Open a table at a restaurant nearby, or join someone else's. You're eating anyway, so why not with company?

How it works

Three steps to the table.

No planning, no event. Open it when you're hungry and meet whoever is close by. Here is one lunch break:

  1. You got hungry.

    You don't feel like eating alone. Out comes the phone.

  2. Open a table or find one

    See open tables near you on the map. Or pick the restaurant you're heading to, set the time and how many seats.

  3. Join and chat at the table

    Take a seat with one tap. Keep each other posted in the table chat: who's where, who's running late.

  4. Meet and enjoy

    Meet at the restaurant. Tap “I'm here” so the table knows. The rest is food and conversation.

  5. Afiyet olsun!

    The tea has arrived. The rest is up to you.

When the city gets hungry

One lunch break, around Tunalı.

This is how tables open and chairs fill up. Tap an empty spot on the map to open one yourself.

Inside the app

Tables on the map, chat at the table.

We designed AcıkanVar like a table at a neighbourhood lokanta: warm, simple and unhurried.

  • Tables nearby, with the walking time
  • Now or within a few hours: always soon
  • Who has arrived and who's on the way, right at the table
Discover screen: “Lunch time”, tables on the map and open tables listed below.
Table screen: Elif, Mert and you around a round table, the table chat and a yellow “I'm here” button.
Safety

Sit down with peace of mind.

Eating with someone new takes a little courage. So safety is built into the app from the start.

Selfie-verified profiles

To open or join a table you take a short selfie check: is the person on camera the one in the profile photo? It is not an ID check, but it keeps out accounts using someone else's photo.

Women-only tables

Women can open tables that only women can see and join. Nobody else sees them at all. Men-only tables exist too.

Women only

Report and block

Tap someone at the table: “Report” or “Block”. Once blocked, you no longer see each other's tables. A person on our team reads every report.

Two taps
Meetings always happen inside the restaurant. Community guidelines Emergency: 112
