  • I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. She said at a Timeleft dinner! I had never heard of the app, but I decided to give it a go. I have been to two dinners so far and plan to go to more…

Questions about Timeleft in Osaka

How can I meet new friends in Osaka?
Timeleft matches you with four to six people for dinner in Osaka, based on your interests, personality and language. You sign up on your own, we choose the venue and the group, and 12 hours before the event, the app tells you where to go.
When are Timeleft events in Osaka?
There's dinner every Wednesday at 7:30 pm. Bookings close 13 hours before each event starts.
Where in Osaka do they happen?
At restaurants in Umeda and Tenjinbashi, and in Dotonbori and Namba. The app shows the exact venue 12 hours before the event.
How much does a Timeleft dinner cost in Osaka?
To book, you need a Timeleft subscription. Food and drinks are paid separately at the venue. Subscription prices depend on the plan you pick, and the app shows them before you pay.
Can I go on my own?
Yes. You book on your own and we put the group together, so you don't need to bring anyone. Every event is at a public venue we've vetted, and our safety guidelines cover the rest. The guide to your first dinner walks through it step by step.

Are Timeleft events in Osaka in English?
Yes, if you want them to be. You choose Japanese or English when you book, and we aim to seat you with people who picked the same language.
What if I'm vegetarian or vegan, or have an allergy?
Pick a dietary preference in the app when you book, and we'll do our best to seat you at a venue that caters to it. For allergies, check with the venue on the day.
Is Timeleft in other cities in Japan?
Yes. You'll also find Timeleft in Tokyo and Nagoya. See every location.
