Same table.Same five.Every single week.
Hey Sini matches you once with four compatible people nearby, then books the same table, the same night, every week. Because friendship isn’t found. It’s scheduled.

¶ THE PROBLEM
You don’t lack people.
You lack repetition.
Modern social life is a museum of one-offs. A great dinner with strangers you never see again. Group chats that never leave the phone. “We should do this again,” said sincerely, followed through never. You’re not lonely because you can’t meet people. You’re lonely because nothing repeats.
The research is blunt about it: it takes roughly 50 hours together to make a casual friend, and 200+ to make a close one. Hours don’t happen by accident. They need a slot in the calendar that defends itself.
* J. HALL, UNIV. OF KANSAS · “HOW MANY HOURS DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE A FRIEND?” (2018)
You don’t find your people.
You schedule them.

¶ THE PROGRAMME
Six weeks
to your people.
What actually happens when five strangers share a standing table.
- WK 01 · ATTENDED
The reservation
Five strangers. One reserved table. Polite questions, decent wine, and the strange comfort of knowing this isn’t a one-off.
- WK 02 · ATTENDED
Names stick
No re-introductions. Someone orders for the table. Someone else remembers you had a job interview and asks how it went.
- WK 03 · ATTENDED
The first inside joke
It isn’t even funny. It doesn’t matter. It belongs to the five of you now, and that’s the entire point.
- WK 04 · ATTENDED
The turn
Someone’s bad week gets talked through instead of talked around. This is the week it stops being an app and starts being a table.
- WK 05 · ATTENDED
The leak
Plans escape Thursday. A movie. A run. A favour involving a couch and a flight of stairs. The group chat is unbearable, in the good way.
- REGULAR ✶
Just Thursday
Nobody calls it the app anymore. It’s just Thursday. The table is yours to keep, and most crews keep it.

¶ HOUSE RULES
The table
has rules.
I.Five seats. Never more.
Conversation splits at six. Five is the largest number that can hold one thread, so five is the law.
II.Same table, every week.
Miss two in a row without a word and your seat opens to the next person in your neighbourhood. Standing tables only stand if you do.
III.No profiles. No swiping.
No photos before week one. You meet the way humans always have: at a table, slightly nervous, fully present.
IV.The table keeps its secrets.
What’s said over the candle stays over the candle. Trust is the whole product.
¶ THE QUESTIONS
Before you
take a seat.
How is this different from a dating app?
Hey Sini is for friendship, not dating. No swiping, no photos before you meet. We match you once into a small crew and book the same table every week, so acquaintances have the time to actually become friends.
What actually happens at the first table?
Five compatible people near you meet at a reserved table on a set night. We pick the venue and send the reminder. You just show up. Most crews keep meeting after the first six weeks.
How much does it cost?
Membership is $19 a month and your first table is free. Venues pay us for full tables on quiet nights, so the price stays small.
What if I don't click with my crew?
Tell us and we'll re-seat you. The matching engine balances age, interests and availability, and it learns from every cycle.
Where is Hey Sini available?
We're opening neighbourhood by neighbourhood in Melbourne and Jakarta, starting each suburb only once enough people have signed up to fill a table.
Is it safe?
Tables are small and hosted, you can report or block anyone, and an optional safety check-in nudges your emergency contact if you ever go quiet for two days.
¶ LAST CALL
The first 500
Melbourneers eat free.
Founding seats get their first six weeks of dues on us. We open one neighbourhood at a time, the moment it can fill its tables. Carlton is first. Your suburb is next if you make it so.
