Pricing

Last Updated: October 24, 2026

Here is what a Friendly Elephant dinner costs. Simple and honest.

Your first dinner	Platform fee waived
Every dinner after that	$7 platform fee, our introductory price
Your food and drinks	Paid by you, directly to the restaurant

The platform fee is for your seat at the table. We bring together a small group of 5 to 7 people, choose the restaurant, and take care of the details. What you eat and drink is between you and the restaurant, at every dinner, your first one too.

An introductory price

$7 is our introductory price while we are getting started, and it will change as Friendly Elephant grows. You will always see the current price in the app before you book, and a new price never applies to a dinner you have already booked.

How you pay

You pay when you book a dinner in the Friendly Elephant app for iPhone or Android. Booking closes 48 hours before each dinner. Prices are in US dollars, and any applicable taxes are shown before you pay. Payments are handled by Razorpay, our payment provider. We never receive or store your full card number or card security code.

If your plans change

Cancel at least 48 hours before your dinner and we refund the fee in full. Our Cancellation and Refund Policy has the details.
