Kaley Chu, 100 Lunches with Strangers
What it costs
Money, in one breath
- Lunches are paid - hosts set the price
- Typically from A$200 for a 45–60 minute lunch. You see the exact price, in the host's currency, before you send a request.
- Authorized when you request, charged when they accept
- Your card is authorized when you request; you're only charged when the host accepts. If they decline or don't answer within 24 hours, the authorization is released.
- Free cancellation until 7 days before
- Cancel a pending request any time at no cost. Cancel a confirmed lunch more than 7 days out for a refund minus the platform fee; inside 7 days there's no refund.
100 lunches with strangers. One year. A movement.
From One Conversation to a Global Movement
What began as a simple challenge by Kaley Chu - to have 100 lunches with strangers - quickly became a life-changing journey. Over coffees and conversations, she built new friendships, found mentors, and opened unexpected doors.
Inspired by this experience, Kaley wrote “100 Lunches with Strangers,” a book that sparked a global movement of people looking to grow, connect, and build authentic relationships.
Today, 100 Lunches is more than a story - it’s a living community. Wherever you are in the world, you can start with just one lunch - and see where it takes you.
