Questions?
A Penn student who wishes there were more opportunities to meet new people.
No, this is a student project, not affiliated with Penn Dining.
We group signups into small groups (3-4 people) and create a group chat by 5:15 PM on the day of dinner.
Signups open at 5 PM two days before each dinner and close at 5 PM on the day. Tuesday dinners open Sunday, Thursday dinners open Tuesday.
To add you to a group chat with your dining partners before the meal so you can coordinate.
Please email us at pennplates.eat@gmail.com as soon as possible so we can adjust the groups. No-shows make it harder for everyone!
