Find answers to common questions about Lecida.
Getting Started
What is Lecida?
Lecida is a social dining platform that connects dinner hosts with guests. Hosts create intimate dining experiences — called "tables" — and guests can discover and request seats at tables near them.
How do I create an account?
Tap "Get Started" on the home page and sign up with your email address. You'll receive a confirmation email to verify your account, then complete a quick onboarding to set up your profile.
How does table discovery work?
Once you're signed in, you can browse upcoming tables in the Events tab. Each table listing shows the host, date, cuisine, price, and available seats so you can find the perfect dinner to join.
Attending a Table
How do I request a seat?
Find a table you'd like to attend, tap "Request a Seat", and the host will review your request. You'll receive a notification once the host approves or declines.
What happens after I request a seat?
The host reviews your profile and request. If approved, you'll receive a confirmation with the table details including the exact address and any notes from the host. Payment is authorized at this point.
Can I cancel my seat?
Yes, you can cancel a confirmed seat from your bookings page. Please cancel as early as possible so the host can offer the seat to another guest. Cancellation policies may vary by host.
What should I expect at a dinner?
Each table is unique! The host sets the theme, cuisine, and vibe. Generally, expect a home-cooked meal with a small group of guests. Be respectful, arrive on time, and come ready to enjoy good food and conversation.
Hosting
How do I become a host?
Navigate to the Host section from the menu and follow the steps to set up your host profile. You'll provide details about your kitchen, cooking style, and hosting experience.
How do I set my table price?
When creating a table, you set the price per guest. Consider your ingredient costs, preparation time, and the dining experience you're offering. Lecida processes payments securely through Stripe.
How do guests find my table?
Once your table is published, it appears in the discovery feed for guests in your area. A complete host profile with a great description and photos helps attract more guests.
Account & Privacy
How do I change my email or password?
Go to Settings from the menu, where you can update your email address or change your password. Email changes require confirmation via the new email address.
How do I delete my account?
In Settings, scroll to the "Danger Zone" section and tap "Delete my account". You'll need to type DELETE to confirm. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.
Is my personal information shared with hosts?
Hosts only see your public profile — your name, profile photo, and short bio. Your email, phone number, and other private details are never shared with hosts or other guests.
