A reunion with old friends
Everyone is finally in the same city at the same time, maybe for the first time in years. The friends from school are scattered now: one flies in for a week, one has kids and a babysitter to book, one lives an hour out of town. Finding a single evening that suits all of them is harder than it was when you all lived on the same street, and nobody remembers who still eats what.
The dates are the hard part
People visiting home have only a few free evenings, and family fills them fast. Pick dinner, offer every day that could work over the holidays, and choose the hour. Each friend marks the dates they can’t make, and MiBA picks from what is left, so you aren’t juggling a dozen messages about who lands when. Start early, before the calendars fill.
Somewhere between everyone
Nobody lives where they used to. Pick the area for the evening, and each friend can mark on the map where they’d rather meet, so the place doesn’t only suit whoever lives closest. A place someone ruled out is never suggested, and places over the group’s budget are left out. Budgets and no’s stay private.
Tastes have changed since school
The friend who lived on burgers is vegan now, someone has a nut allergy, and somebody finally learned to like sushi. Each friend says on their own what they feel like eating, the vibe and what they’d like to spend. Dietary needs are saved on each friend’s account, and places that show they cater to them come first. Nobody has to explain the last ten years in the group chat.
Vote, then catch up
MiBA ranks the restaurants that suit the whole group, you put up to five on a shortlist, and everyone votes. You get a link or a phone number to book, and everyone hears where and when. Then the evening belongs to the stories: who moved where, who married whom, and the one about the school trip that gets better every year.
Starting a gathering is free. Everyone signs in to answer and vote, and MiBA remembers their name and dietary needs for next time.
