About us
Finding friends and making new connections as an adult isn’t always easy. Whether you’ve moved to a new city, are traveling solo, or just want to expand your social circle, finding the right people to connect with can be challenging.
That’s where Friendchise comes in.
Friendchise makes it easy to meet new people over food and drinks—turning shared moments into meaningful connections.
Why Friendchise?
Our founder, Hanna, has traveled the world, lived as a digital nomad, and knows firsthand how frustrating it can be to find like-minded people. Existing apps and Facebook groups were too rigid— you couldn’t easily find people based on shared interests, the right location, or a time that suited you. So, she created Friendchise: a platform designed for spontaneous social dining and user-driven meetups.
Especially when traveling alone, there’s something special about sharing a meal with new people instead of dining solo. Friendchise makes that possible. It’s designed to bring new connections into your life, create networking opportunities, and help you meet people who genuinely interest you. You decide who to meet and when.
And no, Friendchise is not a dating app. Friendchise is about friendships, real-life conversations, and expanding your social circle.

You know that feeling when you move to a new place or travel to a new country, and you don’t know anyone? Or when your friends back home are at different stages in life and don’t have time to meet as often as you’d like?
Friendchise was created to make it easier to meet new people over food and drinks, turning shared moments into meaningful connections.
What’s the meaning behind the name?
We played with the restaurant term “franchise,” which represents connections, and combined it with “friend”. The name became Friendchise – like a chain of friendships.
