Press release Gothenburg 2016-02-19 AirDine, a new Swedish foodie app invented in Gothenburg The social app that makes it possible for normal people to dine in each other homes is finally here. AirDine was released on the 18 of February and matches home cooks with guests. It has been tested since last fall and is now available to download for both iPhone and Android (in Sweden). To begin with, it is being launched in the three biggest Swedish cities, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. - It will be marketed there, but there are no restrictions against using it throughout Sweden. If someone wants to arrange a dinner and invite guests in other cities that’s fine, says Jonas Järvmarker from the company “Avenyfamiljen” that lies behind AirDine and moreover runs several restaurants in Gothenburg. The rules are simple. As a home cook you register and describe yourself and what you are offering to the guests. You decide the price but you may not sell alcohol. Guests register in the same way. After the dinner, both the host and the guest can rate each other. So far, it works exactly as other Sharing sites as AirBnb and Uber. The payment is administered by AirDine that charges a fee. All hosts must accept the terms and conditions, which makes it very clear that one has to follow the existing legislation. - We are very well prepared when it comes to Swedish rules and laws. When we will launch it abroad it is very clear that one has to follow the laws in each country, says Järvmarker. AirDine is a social service that matches people who do not know each other since before. The really exciting thing is of course when it arise unexpected meetings and encouraging movements between districts. So far, one must have a Swedish iTunes account to be able to download the app. This means that a foreign guest has to book through a person that has a Swedish subscription. - During the year of 2016 it will also be available abroad. Then, the service will be more complete and people can book dinners while travelling, which of course is very exciting, says Järvmarker.
