Mayz · The First-Time Host Guide

Why host

Your table already has everything it needs.

Host from home

Your dining table or your backyard. No venue hire, no run sheets.

ii.

Earn income

Price your table, or host free. You decide what the night is worth.

iii.

Grow your circle

Neighbours and friends-of-friends who'd never otherwise find your table.

How it works · The Trust Transfer™

Your first table,
in five steps.

Done

Step one

Join, and set up your profile

Two clicks. Zero paperwork.

Press “Let's Mayz”, top right on mayz.life
Tick “I'm 18 or older”, then continue with Google
Fill in your profile: food preferences, allergies and interests. Mayz will use these to match you with the right people at every table

Think of it as matchmaking, but for human connection without agendas.

Done

Step two

Host your first Mayz

You're in. A few quick choices, and your table is live.

Start with the image. Pick one that captures the mood of your night
Decide how many seats your table holds
Keep it private (invite-only) or open it to the public, then price a seat, or make it free
Choose a conversation starter. Mayz offers researched questions that draw everyone in, even the introverts
Pick your format: Potluck or Supper Club

Potluck

List what the table needs. Guests claim dishes one by one. Never six bowls of hummus.

Supper Club

You're the chef. Post your menu and let the anticipation build.

The essence of Mayz | Guests bring a +1

Step three

Invite friends or neighbors you know, and in your personal message remind every guest: please bring a +1 who might enjoy this Mayz.

This one +1 invitation is what makes Mayz, Mayz. Do not skip it.

Invite by email (preferred), message, or WhatsApp. Mayz creates a beautifully designed invite and a link you can also share on your social media
Then write your personal message, and ask each guest to bring a +1 they trust. Someone who belongs at your table
Before you hit send, check one thing: is the +1 ask in there?

You trust your friends. They trust their +1s. That's the Trust Transfer™.

Done

Step four

Mayz handles the in-between

Between send and serve, the platform does the chasing:

Guests RSVP straight from the email, add their +1, and pass the invite along
They claim a dish (potluck) and drop the night into their calendar. Mayz sends a reminder the day before. No one forgets
Your dashboard shows who's coming, +1s included, who's bringing what, and a summary of every allergy and aversion. No surprises at the table

Done

Step five

Host the night. Keep the bonds

Candles lit, table set. Make everyone feel expected, then make it last.

Open with your conversation starter. It hands even the shy ones the mic
Post-Mayz, you receive an email to message and connect with your guests. Once done, guests answer with what they loved about you and your Mayz

38% of guests go on to host their own table. You'll be on their invite list.

I almost canceled the first dinner because I was nervous. I didn't know half the people. But it turned out to be the best night I've had in a long time.
