No ghosting, no flaking. Here’s how we keep it that way.

Your Reliability Score sits on your profile. It answers the one question every host has before saying yes to a stranger: will this person actually come?

It isn’t a popularity contest. Nobody rates your personality, your photo or your small talk. The score only tracks attendance: plans you showed up for, plans you dropped at the last minute, and plans you skipped without a word.

Brand-new members show a “New user” tag, so hosts can tell “no history yet” apart from a bad one.

These count against you:

• Not showing up to a plan you said you’d come to.
• Cancelling a plan you’re hosting less than 2 hours before it starts.
• Leaving a themed table less than 2 hours before it starts. That’s a late cancellation.
• Joining and leaving themed tables over and over. Repeated withdrawals can also pause your access to themed tables for a number of days.

These don’t:

• Leaving a themed table because you blocked someone at it, or because the venue changed after you joined. You get a full refund as well.
• A host cancelling a plan you joined. Any Ruby you paid comes back to your wallet, 100%.
• Cancelling a plan you host with more than 2 hours’ notice. That isn’t a late cancellation.

1. 1

   Confirm you’re coming

   A few hours before the start, the app asks whether you’re still coming, so the table knows the meetup is on. Can’t make it? Your seat opens up for someone else.

2. 2

   Mark who’s at the table

   Once the meetup is underway, everyone gets the same question: who’s at the table? Tap each person as “Came” or “Didn’t come”. No one sees who you picked.

3. 3

   Change your mind until the deadline

   You can update your answer until attendance closes. Then the result is final and recorded on everyone’s score.

4. 4

   Report a plan that didn’t happen

   If the meetup never took place, say so instead of marking people. Our team looks into it.

When someone asks to join your plan, the request arrives with their Reliability Score and how far away they are. Sort requests by score, by distance or by when they applied, then approve the people you want.

Prefer to skip approvals? You can let people join instantly instead. And if plans change on your side, cancel early: participants get a full Ruby refund, and an early cancellation isn’t a late one.

• You need a profile photo to join, so people can recognize each other on arrival.
• Some tables are only open to members with a high enough Reliability Score, or to accounts that aren’t brand new.
• There’s a limit on how many upcoming themed tables you can hold at once, plus a daily limit on joining.
• Before you leave a table, the app shows exactly what leaving will mean for your score.

More on how curated tables work: Themed Activities.

If the table reported that you didn’t come but you were there, appeal from the attendance card before the deadline shown in the app. Write a line about what happened, for example “I was there, at the end of the table”, and our team reviews the table’s answers.

You’ll see the result in the app. Each result can be appealed once.
