About Friendchise

Finding friends and making new connections as an adult isn’t always easy. Whether you’ve moved to a new city, 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 as a digital nomad and knows how hard it can be to find like-minded people. Most apps and Facebook groups are too rigid. You can’t easily connect with people who share your interests, are nearby, and free when you are. That’s why she created Friendchise: a platform 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 by sparking real connections and helping you meet people who genuinely interest you.

And no, Friendchise is not a dating app. Friendchise is about friendships, real-life conversations, and expanding your social circle.

Our Mission

Friendchise’s mission is to foster meaningful relations by bringing people around the same table.

Our goal is to re-establish the value of physical connections in an online society by meeting over food or drinks.

Our Vision

Friendchise’s vision is to be the easiest way to meet new friends and make meaningful connections.

Whenever people look for new connections in a new location, Friendchise is the place to start the search.

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.
