Dinner Series

The deal

One table. Two numbers.

You host 12 people you actually know, at any restaurant we can reach this term. fomo books it and settles the check. Posting the night is optional — it is only how you enter the $10,000.

$1,200Covered.

You never see a bill.

fomo books the restaurant and settles the check directly, up to $1,200 a table — no reimbursements, no receipts, nothing out of your pocket. All we ask is that you fill the 12 seats with people you actually know, and send us a few lines the next day about who came.
$10,000One winner.

Every campus running a dinner is competing.

Post the night and the views count toward your campus; the host with the most approved views at the end of Fall 2026 takes it. To qualify you need 1M approved views, and every post has to say fomo paid. Claimed views do not count — each post is checked against your insights first.

These are two separate things. The dinner is covered whether or not you post, and nobody at your table has to download anything for the check to be paid.

Your table · sample

Twelve seats, and you pick eleven.

What decides it is how many seats bring a group with them, not the titles. Half your table should be people who bring others — a chapter officer, a captain, whoever runs the group chat.

The board · sample

Campus standings.

Approved views roll up from the host to the campus. One campus takes the $10,000 — but a campus only qualifies once its host clears 1M approved views.

How the night runs

Three moments, no run of show.

Not a launch party, not a focus group, not a sales dinner. There is no hidden second half where somebody stands up and presents something — someone from fomo comes as a guest, not at the head of the table, and you post whatever you actually thought.

01Before You name the room and the people. We book it and cover it.
02At the table No deck, no pitch. One table, one conversation, for 12 people.
03After You tell us who came and what landed. Good tables get asked back.

The fine print

Who owes what, and when.

Miss one and nothing happens to you — we just probably will not book the next one. There is no clawback and nothing to sign.

What you deliver

7 days beforeThe list. 11 names, confirmed. We book the table to that number, so it has to be real.
48 hours beforeAny changes. Drop-outs are fine. A table booked for 12 that seats 6 is not.
On the nightA full table. At least 10 of the 12 seats filled, everyone 18 or over.
Within 48 hoursThe recap. A few honest lines: who came, what landed, what did not.
To competeThe post, logged. Only if you want the prize. Submit the link so the views count, and say fomo paid.

What fomo delivers

On approvalThe booking. We find and reserve the restaurant, or take yours if you have one.
On approvalSomething to forward. A confirmation you can send your table, so the invite comes from you.
On the nightThe check, settled directly. Up to $1,200. You never front it or file an expense.
AfterYour link, and the credit. Every signup through it is attributed to you, and we tell you the number.
