The TableCrowd platform is a social network that brings people into the real world to connect over food. Instead of focusing on online interactions, TableCrowd lets users find people with similar interests to dine with. You can find people in groups such as "New to Town" and "Startup" to go grab a bite and network or make some new friends.
The system works by letting users join and create themed events called 'Tables.' You can find an existing Table to join or make one of your own if you're not interested in existing ones. If you're set on starting your own event, all you have to do is choose a restaurant, pick a theme and invite people.
TableCrowd is currently only available in London, England.
