Very interesting idea, and great website!
A question: I'm curious whether you put a lot of consideration into the review system?
Asking hosts to invite strangers over and publicly rate their hospitality, cooking, and home is asking a lot. Yes, Airbnb does something similar, but renting a room feels like more of a business transaction. Having dinner guests share a meal is more personal and intimate - and it would be easier for hosts to take reviews personally.
Also, how will you deal with hyper-critical guests who leave mostly negative reviews? A few negative "foodies" like this could be a morale crusher for early hosts.
In any case, good luck!

- negrit 13y agoThis is a very good remark. That's the reason why we have this three notes : food, place and hospitality. As you see, we're asking guests to review the hospitality, not the person. As always, it is very important to us that guest expectations before any booking are the right ones: hosts do not commit on serving food like in a restaurant, they commit it is home made, they commit on a meal structure (number of courses) and they'll respect food specifics mentionned by their guests.
