💡 2026: GCG Dinner Club?
Share your thoughts on whether we should launch this idea.
Dinner club? Think curated dinner experience where you meet new people, enjoy great food, and connect with your community. It’s a fun way to support local restaurant while making friends along the way.
First, let us explain how it works:
Take a quick quiz about your interests, food preferences, and what types of people you are looking to meet.
Get matched with five other GCG members based on the quiz results.
Receive your invite the morning of the dinner and discover which restaurant in Greensboro your group will be eating at.
Dinner time will be on predetermined date announced at launch.
After dinner, all tables will be invited to a designated spot to keep the good times going. This after party is optional, so if you're in a food coma, you can go home and sleep it off.
The Logistics: The booking fee is $16 per seat, you pay for your own meal at the end of dinner, and we’ll put it all together from the quiz, to matching, to the reservations, and sending reminders. All you gotta do is show up, meet some new friends, and have some fun.
Okay. What do you think?
Should we launch GCG dinner club?
