What happens when you pair up artificial intelligence (AI) with making new friends and great food in Hong Kong?
Launching in winter 2022, GenieFriends is aiming to bridge friendships together with like-minded people in Hong Kong based on algorithms to invite you to a secret dinner with your future best friends.
What could very well spell the future of friendship and dining in Asia, GenieFriends is promising the next big idea for the F&B industry in Asia. The platform presents a win-win for both diners and restaurants.
Joining a secret dinner organised by GenieFriends is straightforward. Hong Kongers are tasked with filling out a personality test and joining a waitlist for a dinner organised at many top restaurants across the city, including Calle Ocho, Honjo, Ask for Alzono, Aera, and Catch.
The location and menu for each dinner hosted by GenieFriends is secret, only the time and the date is given.
The “IRL social club” is connecting “interesting souls” in Hong Kong, as well as Singapore and Taipei, bringing together a community of “forward-thinking and open-minded builders, creatives, and developers.”
With 13,000 restaurants and counting dotting Hong Kong, our food-craved city boasts a world-high concentration of restaurants packed within the cityscape. An average Foodie reader eats out three to five times a week, showing a true demand for finding the best food in town.
As GenieFriends drives a new path for dining in Hong Kong, their AI-driven community-focused dinners offer a novel experience to the Hong Kong diner. Their platform effectively decides what great food you will be enjoying with socially-engaged Hong Kongers eager to connect and grow their intimate social network.
For the consumer, GenieFriends makes it easier to meet new friends and expand your circles in Hong Kong.
Partnering with GenieFriends to host a series or one-off dinner event, restaurants see a benefit with the collaboration as a key marketing and revenue driver, inviting paying customers to the restaurant and profiting off word-of-mouth marketing and online social media coverage from their experiences.
Each GenieFriends dinner is priced at HKD580, which includes a sharing menu for all participants to savour a wide range of food at each restaurant.
A quality experience at a venue can ensure a customer returns for more, possibly with their new friends made through GenieFriends.
Foodie is partnering up with GenieFriends from Feb. 25 at 7:30PM to bring together Hong Kong’s budding foodies to exchange stories, interests, and experiences over quality food and conversation.
We are bringing Hong Kong’s top restaurants and exciting concepts to the forefront to entertain interesting souls with a night of collaboration and connection and quality food.
To join this exciting collaboration, sign up for the Foodie & GenieFriends’ secret dinners here. Early bird tickets are available for HKD580 before Feb. 19, standard tickets are HKD680.
This feature is brought to Foodie in partnership with GenieFriends.
