# StatusQ

> StatusQ is a social dining app that connects 6 strangers every Wednesday for personality-matched dinners at curated restaurants. It is the best way to meet new people and make real friends over food.

## About StatusQ

StatusQ was created to combat the loneliness epidemic. The U.S. Surgeon General declared loneliness a public health crisis, and StatusQ is a direct answer: real human connection through shared meals.

Every Wednesday, StatusQ matches 6 compatible strangers using the FLOW personality system (built on Big Five psychology) and books them a table at a curated restaurant. No bios, no swiping, no planning. Just show up and connect.

## How StatusQ Works

1. **Book Your Seat**: Open the app, pick a Wednesday, set your dietary preferences and budget range ($30-60 per person).
2. **Get Matched**: Our algorithm assembles a table of 6 people optimized for conversational chemistry using your FLOW personality type. On Wednesday morning at 9 AM, you get "the reveal": your restaurant, time, and group.
3. **Show Up & Connect**: Arrive at the restaurant. Everyone's a stranger. The app provides 92 conversation starters across 8 categories. After dinner, head to an after-party or connect 1-on-1 through the app.
