Amicii

What Amicii does

Amicii operates a two-sided marketplace platform that connects adults seeking in-person social connection with hospitality venues offering small-group dining experiences in groups of approximately 6-8 people. The platform targets diners aged roughly 25-65 and beyond, including professionals, relocated individuals, and people rediscovering social life after major life changes, while serving hospitality venues (restaurants, bars) seeking to fill tables with engaged, pre-paying customers. Venue partners include restaurants such as The Herring Room and bookshop-affiliated concepts like Hill of Content in Balmain.

The core product is accessible via a web platform at app.amicii.io and native iOS and Android applications. Underlying technology includes an experience-matching algorithm that pairs diners with venues and experiences based on venue type, food type, and age-range preferences, plus a 'safety-by-design' platform architecture that prohibits private messaging, limits profile information to predefined preferences, and confines meetings to verified commercial venues with staff present. Payments are processed via Stripe. Sub-products include Table + Chapters, a monthly book-themed dining experience built around a shared recommended read, and an Amicii Rewards Program offering $5 signup and referral credits. AI-powered content creation tools for venue partners are flagged on the roadmap but not yet launched.

The business model relies primarily on a 6% booking fee charged to users at the time of reservation; example: a $50 experience generates a $3 fee. Venue partners currently pay nothing under a 12-month free founding-partner pilot with zero commission on bookings and no lock-in contracts; after that window, venues will pay a small monthly platform fee (pricing to be communicated). Legal entity is My Amicii Enterprises Pty Ltd (ACN 676 350 137), headquartered at Level 1, 56 Clarence Street, Sydney, with a principal place of business in Manly, NSW. The company is founder-led by Kae Porter, currently operates exclusively in Sydney, and has stated plans to expand to Melbourne, Brisbane, and other cities.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• OpenTable: The dominant global restaurant reservation platform. Highly comparable as a venue-side marketplace booking tool, but operates a generic, commission-driven model without Amicii's curated small-group social mechanics or community framing.
• Resy: Restaurant reservation platform owned by American Express with strong US brand recognition. Comparable as a digital booking layer for restaurants; differs by being transactionally focused rather than community-led.
• Meetup: Large-scale platform for organizing in-person interest-based groups, including dining groups. Comparable as a community-discovery layer for adults seeking in-person social connection, but operates as a self-organized events platform rather than venue-curated experiences.
• SevenRooms: Hospitality CRM and reservation platform used by premium restaurants and venues. Comparable on the venue-relationship and booking-management layer, though it serves operators rather than diners directly and lacks Amicii's community/social feature set.

Direct peers

• EatWith: Marketplace for hosted dining experiences with strangers in private homes and unique venues. Closest direct peer in terms of the small-group, curated dining-with-strangers proposition that Amicii offers.
• Feastly: Community marketplace for pop-up and hosted dining experiences. Comparable in offering chef- or host-led small-group meal experiences to diners seeking connection and novel food experiences.
• VisEat: Tour/experience marketplace that has historically included hosted dining experiences with locals. Comparable as a marketplace connecting travelers and locals around food experiences, though broader in scope than Amicii's community framing.

Emerging players

• TimeLeft: Social dining app that matches strangers for restaurant dinners in major cities. Closely comparable to Amicii's social-meeting-at-restaurant mechanic, though TimeLeft focuses on larger group tables and dating-adjacent positioning.
• The Dinner Party: Community-driven small-group dinner movement for adults seeking meaningful connection. Comparable as a curated social-dining community format, though it operates as a non-profit/offline movement rather than a marketplace.
• Bumble BFF: Friend-finding mode of the Bumble app aimed at adults seeking platonic connection, including through group outings. Comparable as a platform solving adult-loneliness and friend-making, but does not bundle the venue/dining experience layer.
