How It Works
A ritual of generosity and trust — one sponsored table at a time.
The Planner Sponsors the Meal
A Planner opens a table — an evening at a popular cafe, dinner at an expensive restaurant, brunch at a premium hotel, afternoon tea at a heritage spot, or a social walk at a cultural landmark. The Planner sponsors the meal and pays the bill physically at the venue.
Deposits Seal the Commitment
To publish their commitment, the Planner pays a 40% deposit of the estimated bill via UPI, verified manually by our admin. Once the Planner selects a Joinee, the Joinee pays a 25% deposit the same way. Deposits are promises — proof that both sides will show up.
The House Keeps 5%
THE CIRCLE retains a 5% commission on all deposits. It keeps the circle curated, verified and worth belonging to.
Meet, Confirm, Refund
After the meetup, both the Planner and the Joinee confirm completion. Deposits are then refunded — 95% of what was paid — manually by our admin via UPI.
The No-Show Penalty
If one party does not show up, they forfeit their deposit. The forfeited amount, minus the 5% commission, is transferred to the affected party — handled manually by our admin. Elegance demands accountability.
