VoulezVousDîner is a new website in South Africa that offers its users a
unique experience, merging the art of cooking with the fun of socialising. A
peer-to-peer reservation service, VoulezVousDîner allows users to connect and
share meals in each other’s homes, all the while giving guests and hosts the
opportunity to meet new people. Whether hosting a dinner to earn some extra
cash, or attending one to experience some local cuisine, VoulezVousDîner makes
it possible.
The process is simple. Users set up profiles on VoulezVousDiner.com.
The host posts their dinner, including the menu, photos, date of the dinner and
location. Hosts can even add a dash of personality to their menus by choosing a
certain theme. Guests can easily search for dinners by city, with the option to
filter by dinner theme. To book, the guest pays securely through the
VoulezVousDîner booking system.
The website acts as the perfect platform for hosts to
showcase their cooking skills, broaden their social networks, as well as
boosting their incomes. Guests get to enjoy authentic local cuisine in a more
intimate setting and, at the same time, potentially enjoy a more competitive
price than in a restaurant setting.
VoulezVousDîner was launched in France in 2010 by
Renaud Maigne, who on his numerous travels was inspired to find a way to
connect locals and visitors through gastronomy. The website is a prime example
of Collaborative Consumption – an increasingly prevalent social trend that has
been thriving online. Dinners are now available throughout the world, from
Paris to Cape Town, from London to Lyon and all points in-between.
