Manage RSVPs, collect payment before guests confirm, run your food group chat, and grow your dining community — all in one place. Used by Facebook food group admins, supper club hosts, and food crawl organizers.
Free to start · No credit card required · Guests don't need the app
Built specifically for the challenges of organizing community food events — from Facebook food group meetups to ticketed pop-up dinners.
Set a price per seat for your food event. Guests pay to confirm their spot — no more no-shows, no chasing money after the event. Payments via Stripe, directly to you.
See exactly who's confirmed, who's pending, and who dropped out. No more counting heads across a Facebook thread or spreadsheet.
Your guests don't need to download anything. Send a link, they RSVP (and pay if it's ticketed). Works on any device.
Replace your WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger thread. All event communications — updates, location changes, menu questions — stay attached to the event.
Run a monthly supper club? A weekly food crawl? Set up recurring events so your community always knows what's coming. No re-creating from scratch each time.
Keep it exclusive for your food group members, or open it up to the broader TableMesh community to discover and join. You control who sees and joins your events.
Tired of no-shows? Or chasing Venmo requests after the event? With TableMesh ticketed events, guests pay upfront to confirm their seat. No payment = no spot. Simple.
From Facebook food group admins to pop-up dinner hosts — TableMesh fits how food communities actually work.
Stop managing RSVPs through comment threads and Messenger. Move your food events to TableMesh for structured RSVPs, guest lists, and optional payment — then share the link back to your Facebook group.
Running a ticketed pop-up dinner, supper club, or chef's table experience? Collect payment upfront, confirm your headcount, and manage the guest list — all without a separate ticketing platform.
Coordinate multi-stop food crawls with a group. Share the route, manage group size, and keep everyone in sync with in-app chat. Charge for guided tours or keep it free.
Host professional networking dinners, cultural food events, or community potlucks. TableMesh handles the logistics so you can focus on the food and the people.
Connect your diaspora community over authentic cuisine. Host regular group dinners celebrating your food culture, manage RSVPs, and build a loyal dining community.
