Find and book pop-up dinners, supper clubs and dinner parties, or sell tickets to your own.

Pop-up dinners worth showing up for.
One flat fee, not a percentage.

Pop-up dinners, supper clubs, tastings and dinner parties from chefs, mixologists and venue hosts you and your friends already trust.

The basics.

Real people, every night.

Tenseats is where real chefs, mixologists, venue hosts and creators put on pop-up dinners, supper clubs, tastings and cocktail nights, and where you go to find one. Follow them, message them, book their next night. Built for nights of ten to a hundred guests, run by the person cooking or pouring. Not for festivals, concerts or ticket resale.

$4.99

One fee. That’s the cap.

You pay the ticket price plus one service fee, and it stops at $4.99. Cheaper tickets cost less. Other platforms price tickets as a percentage, so the fee climbs with the night. Ours steps once or twice and then stops. The fee drops to nothing when you or your organizer is an Insider, and the ticket price goes straight to whoever put the night together.

On a $100 dinner, a 3.7% + $1.79 platform adds $5.49 in service fees. We add $4.99. On a $200 tasting, they add $9.19. We add $4.99.

The cap is the Tenseats service fee. Card processing is added at checkout.

Write about the nights worth knowing about. Your following becomes their next table.

He finds the underground dinners first. Thousands of locals follow his monthly guide.

Early means easy to find.

We are new, so there are fewer listings around yours, and guests looking in your city find you fast.

Find the room, or fill yours

Browse rooms with a real capacity and a real rate and book one from inside the event you are building. Or list the space you already have, with a calendar you control and a booking inbox where every request waits for your yes.

List your space

Publish to Instagram in one tick

Connect Instagram once, then tick the box on any event you want posted and it goes to your grid as a single post, a carousel or a reel. Tenseats builds it from the listing you already made, so the photos, the date and the price come along on their own. It works with Instagram Business and Creator accounts.

Included with an active paid membership.

Follow the people whose taste you trust

Follow the chefs, mixologists and creators whose work you already know, and the venue hosts whose rooms you like being in. Save the nights you want to think about. When they put something new up you hear about it while there is still room, and the recommendation comes from your own people.

The Elements · The Planner

Bring the experience to life.

The Planner costs out your recipes, your rentals and your staffing, then proposes a ticket price you can stand behind. Once the night is over it reconciles what you actually made against what you planned to make.

  • How many people are actually eating?
  • What does the food actually cost?
  • What does the bar actually cost?
  • What are you not counting yet?

Two people sharing a quiet dinner by a rain-streaked window at night.

The food worth your night out lives in a private dinner in someone’s loft, a one-off pop-up, a mixologist’s signature pour.

We built Tenseats so those nights are easy to find, and easy to book.

Founder, Tenseats

When I lived in Shanghai, there was a dinner party experience I kept trying to get into. It was always sold out, and I left before the next seat opened up. That is why I built Tenseats. So many chefs, mixologists and people with amazing homes could be making fantastic experiences like that for other people, and you should be able to find them.

What if my event is cancelled?

If the organizer cancels, your ticket is refunded in full automatically, including the service fee and Stripe's fee, back to your original payment method.

How refunds work

Do I need a business entity?

No. To sell tickets you connect a Stripe account, and you can open one as an individual. Stripe decides what it needs from you, not Tenseats. Free RSVP events skip Stripe entirely. Local food safety, licensing and insurance rules are yours to handle.
