Ditto. Was expecting it to tell me about the dinners before the groups in my area. I assumed (because of the interests I put in) that the Young Professionals Group was hosting a dinner so I "joined" it. Then when I was on my profile, I realized that I'd only "joined" the Young Professionals group not their dinner. I had to go back to the homepage to see the to-be-determined PDX dinner date was actually being hosted by the Portland Foodies, which I am not interested in attending.

I just signed up as i thought it was interesting, only to find out there is no action in Berlin, Germany. Not really surprised by that.

So i thought, ok, let's set up a group and a diner in a nice restaurant... So why the hell am i supposed to provide my credit card data to potentially pay $22 (??) for a meetup in a UNKNOWN, not freely choosable restaurant in Berlin?

It just tells me "yo, we will set up a nice partner restaurant for you"...

So i have to pay upfront (if enough people signup) for a meetup in a restaurant which i cannot choose, somewhere in Berlin, not knowing if grubwithus will actually be able to book a table in a decent restaurant (how would they know my taste....). It's also entirely unclear how much of the money goes to grubwithus, which should be clearly explained somewhere without me having to look it up in the terms and conditions or wherever it might be hidden.

I'm not fast in saying "This concept will fail", but I am pretty sure this model is fundamentally flawed and will fail...

I misinterpreted the platform as a nice way of setting up a diner with friends + some strangers in a restaurant of my choice (where i know the quality is good), but grubwithus doesn't allow me to do that.

It's also really weird that i cannot comment in my recently created group, because the system tells me to "Slow down there partner!".
