For supper clubs
Supper club software for dinners that actually happen
A supper club lives and dies on two questions: will enough people commit, and who sits next to whom? IRL.OS answers both — with booking mechanics built for dinners and seating that remembers every table you've ever set.
Nobody pays until the dinner is on
Set a guaranteed minimum — say, twelve seats. Guests commit a card at booking, nobody is charged until the table is guaranteed, and if it doesn't fill by your deadline, everyone is automatically released and notified. You can finally test that Georgian wine dinner without underwriting the risk yourself.
Curate the table
Application-based events let guests write a short motivation and commit a card; you approve the mix you want, and only approved guests are charged. Rejections cost nothing and nobody's card is touched. Secret tickets behind private links keep space for regulars, and per-seat pricing — member, standard, pay-what-you-want — lives on every event.
Seating with memory
At the door, guests check in by QR and the platform assigns tables round by round — remembering who already sat together in March so they don't repeat in June. Dietary needs and allergies arrive through questionnaires attached to the booking, so the kitchen knows before anyone sits down.
From dinner series to membership
Waitlists auto-promote when a seat frees up, post-dinner surveys send themselves, and a membership tier — early booking, member pricing, members-only tables — turns a dinner series into recurring revenue. All of it under your supper club's own brand and app.
Supper club software — fair questions
Can I take deposits without charging guests upfront?
Better: guests commit a card at booking and are only charged when your guaranteed minimum is reached. No manual refunds when a dinner doesn't fill — releases happen automatically.
How does seating avoid repeat pairings?
Table matching keeps a memory of who has shared a table before and steers assignments away from repeats, so regulars keep meeting new people instead of the same four faces.
Can I collect allergies and dietary needs?
Yes — questionnaires attach to ticket booking, so every confirmed seat comes with the answers your kitchen needs.
Does it work for paid and free formats together?
Yes. Mix ticketed dinners, free tastings and members-only tables in one calendar, each with its own pricing, capacity and access rules.
