8 Simple Rules for participating in this group
(Golden Rule: Treat others as you would want to be treated.)
1. Once you sign up, please show up.
If you sign up for our events, we’d really appreciate it if you could attend. We make reservations for a specific number of people, be it for cooking or dining-out, and the venue is arranged accordingly. If you can’t make it, please let the organizer know in advance so we can make adjustments.
2. Respect everyone.
Everyone, regardless of their age, nationality, gender etc., are equal and welcome in our group. If you make anyone feel uncomfortable, you will be consulted, and in worst case scenario, will be asked to leave from the group. If you are bothered or harassed in any way from other members, please inform us, so we can take actions.
3. Your ideas will be appreciated!
If you have a great idea for the group, feel free to share it! While we focus on dining out and cooking, we’re open to new activities and suggestions.
4. This is not a dating group.
Our group is for meeting new people, enjoying conversations, and having a good time. If you find love here, that’s wonderful! But if you’re just looking for quick hookups, this might not be the right group for you.
5. We eat and split the bill evenly.
We usually order meals that are similarly priced. Sometimes you might have wine, other times just a beer or soft drink. Over time, it balances out. It’s not worth quibbling over a few euros. Please expect to spend around 40-50 euros per meal, including drinks. (The exception may be when you want caviar and champagne, you may have to cover the extra cost.) We split the bill evenly otherwise.
6. Prepayment for certain events.
For all cooking events and some restaurants that requires deposit, you will be asked to pay in advance.
7. Dietary needs must be informed before the event.
Let us know if you have specific dietary requirements so we can coordinate with the restaurant in advance.
8. **Have fun!**
The most important rule: Have fun! No topic is too strange for dinner conversation, and we discuss everything :)
