BUT, WHAT ABOUT THE BAR?
Which one? If bars were truly social places, we wouldn't have mixers, meetups, private social clubs, dating apps, BFF apps, dine with strangers apps, "looking for friends" posts on FB, professional cuddlers, and countless TikTok videos on "Where to meet people".
SOCIOLOGICAL
WHY CREATE A PHYSICAL SPACE?
Because life is too short to keep track of events and visit hundreds of places just to make connections. A physical social space will let you socialize as and when you want and help you build and grow a vibrant and diverse network in your city.
can I bring a partner or friends?
Absolutely. This is a social hub, not a "singles' lounge", and everyone is welcome regardless of their relationship status.
HOW WILL I SOCIALIZE HERE?
Grab a seat at the bar or a communal table in one of four zones.
With extensive screens showing music videos, sports, conversation topics, and more, you will feel right at home.
You will have a more social experience than any other place because people will be there to connect.
WHAT IF DON'T INTEND TO SOCIALIZE?
You are equally welcome, as there will be extensive traditional seating.Enjoy high-quality food and beverages, get some work done, sing a tune or two, play games, or read a book.
FINANCIAL
Is this a private members' club?
No. However, we might charge a very nominal membership fee to ensure a safe and positive experience for all visitors.
WHAT IS YOUR MENU AND PRICING?
Expect best-in-class versions of the most popular food and nonalcoholic beverages from around the world at competitive prices.
WHAT IS YOUR ECONOMIC MODEL?
Connect is intended to be a multi-sided platform for customers and advertisers in addition to a dining establishment.Through our social positioning and design, we will achieve much higher foot traffic compared to cafes, restaurants, and bars.This would allow us to act as a digital advertising hub for curated brands that you would likely love.
how do you plan to fund this?
Once we get sufficient interest, we will partner with an existing space to launch a pilot and eventually roll out a chain of truly social dining places.Nothing beats a social dining establishment by the people and for the people.
