Dinner Party App by The Gourmet Host Launches with Toronto Event
November 22, 2025 (Toronto, Canada) – We’re excited to share that The Gourmet Host has launched an early-access version of our mobile app, introducing the experience to a curated group of influencers at a live event hosted at The Collective Workspace in North York, Ontario.
We designed the Gourmet Host mobile app to simplify dinner party planning—from the moment inspiration strikes to the final guest thank-you. The app helps hosts organize their personal recipe collections, send invitations, track dietary preferences, manage cost sharing, and capture post-event reflections after the meal. Our goal is to bring a new level of ease and thoughtfulness to at-home entertaining.
The launch event brought together more than 150 guests from the startup and food communities, giving attendees a first look at the app’s early features and allowing us to share our broader vision in person. It was an opportunity to connect with people who care deeply about food, hosting, and the experience of gathering at home.
“We know there’s a growing desire for more meaningful ways to spend time together,” said David Jubé, Founder of The Gourmet Host. “This platform is about making it easier to bring people together at home—in ways that feel modern, inclusive, and joyful.”
The app is currently in closed testing and will gradually expand access in the coming weeks. If you’re interested in following along or joining the waitlist, you can learn more on The Gourmet Host App product page.
