How we handle your name and what you tell us.

Mesa does not publish profiles. Other members cannot browse you or search for you. You upload a photo when you join so we can match you. An introduction is a first name, a neighbourhood, and a short note from us. If you both say you want to meet, we book a table.

We keep what you told us, how you asked to be reached, and the introductions we have sent. We do not sell that. Partner restaurants never receive a list of members. They receive a booking for two people who already said yes.

Your account is an email address or a New Zealand mobile number, with a password. There is no public profile.

You may pass on an introduction. The other person is not told about it. If you treat someone badly after a dinner, you are removed from Mesa.

We only introduce people who live in or near Auckland. Joining is free. We cover your dinner — meal and drinks, up to $150 including drinks.
