Mainebiz has published an article about JoynaTable (website, facebook, instagram). The company founded by Susan Ruhlin has created a service that helps hosts and local guests to connect and organize a shared meal. Think of it like Airbnb for dinner parties—with the added aspiration to bring people together.
Ruhlin shared on the JoynaTable website,
We started JoynaTable because we believe that dining is about more than just eating—it’s about connection, culture, and community. In a world where we’re increasingly isolated, we wanted to create spaces where strangers could become friends over a shared meal. Our founders experienced the magic of home-cooked hospitality while traveling, and realized that these authentic experiences were missing in their own neighborhoods. JoynaTable was born from a simple idea: what if we could bring the warmth of a home-cooked meal and the joy of meaningful conversation to anyone, anywhere?
The business is expected to launch in 2026. You can sign-up for their wait list to get updates when it does.
