Expand your social and professional circles in London this summer by networking at the best bars and restaurants across the City. Use the Suppa app to match with a potential new co-founder, co-creative, mentor or even a new tennis partner! Register here

“Networking” is a term that conjures up images of stiff after-work functions with bad finger food and awkward conversation. There’s always someone who gets way too drunk, and you often miss your opportunity to speak with the person you really wanted to connect with.

There’s no doubt that LinkedIn has helped to make networking more personal. However, how many of us would recognise all of our LinkedIn connections if we encountered them in the street?

At Suppa, our mission is to enhance networking by making it fun, frictionless and efficient. Our app lets you invite potential matches for lunch, coffee or drinks at the best restaurants and bars across London. You can also make your intentions clear, letting them know whether you require mentorship; want to discuss a business opportunity; or simply want to enjoy some food and hang out together. When a user accepts an invitation, a match is created and both users can arrange to meet up at their chosen restaurant or bar. Groups of colleagues or friends can also match and meet on our platform. This makes Suppa perfect for after-work networking.

Over lockdown, we’ve all overindulged in social media and video streaming services. At Suppa, we want to free you from the ever-growing, all-consuming digital vortex. By breaking free from digital excess, you can build long-lasting high quality, meaningful in-person connections rather than fleeting, superficial digital ones.

Ready to socialise again?

Maybe you’re not interested in business networking but still want to make new friends in the city? Don’t worry — we’ve got you! Use Suppa to arrange hangouts with people who are looking for good food and great conversation — after more than a year of restricted contact, mixing is the key to an unforgettable summer 2021!

As lockdown restrictions ease, it’s time to cast aside the polystyrene boxes and start reconnecting. Sharing meals is the ultimate social activity; food is always so much better when enjoyed alongside fantastic company.

Break free from social media and make a real connection

Society’s ever-increasing obsession with technology was impacting our social lives long before the pandemic broke out. If you feel that smartphones, streaming services and social media have all been reducing the quality of your social life, it’s not too late to reverse this. Although technology can be very exciting, it can isolate us if we spend too much time on it. Some people don’t realise that technology has been affecting their social lives until considerable damage has been done. You may not realise how much you have missed making new real-life connections until you start networking again. Although connecting with people over social media can be fun, talking to others on a face-to-face basis can be so much more fulfilling.

Improve your mental health and revitalise your social life

Our app is designed to help you return your social life to its former glory or make it more satisfying and fulfilling than ever. Covid-19 has also had a dramatic impact on mental health for many people. Even people who rarely struggled with their mental health before the pandemic have been experiencing loneliness. Making valuable new connections through our app can help you turn your social situation around and get you meeting the kind of people that share your values, passions and outlook on life.

Support the hospitality industry and create amazing new memories

Another great reason for taking advantage of our app is that it gives you the chance to support and save struggling hospitality businesses. Restaurants and bars need help urgently right now and heading out to eat and drink rather than simply staying at home can give you a valuable change of scenery and break the monotony of domestic life. Spending your hard-earned money at warmly welcoming, exciting and highly atmospheric bars and restaurants is a great way to support a struggling industry that has been hit incredibly hard by Covid-19. Perhaps you want to meet people with similar interests to you but have been finding it rather difficult to do so? Then register for our app today and receive exclusive discounts at some of the best restaurants and bars in London.

Break the repetition

Lockdown made life seem incredibly repetitive and dull for many people. If you are eager to escape your four walls and make incredible long-term connections, our app is for you. We’re confident that Suppa can help you make an amazing difference to your social and professional life and improve your general well-being massively. If you’re ready to start doing more with your spare time other than simply scrolling through your phone or binge-watching the latest Netflix series, register for our app today.
