A matchmaking service takes the personal legwork out of dating by outsourcing “the search” for interesting, like-minded individuals to a team of professionals. Just as you might use a fitness trainer to get in shape or a financial planner to improve your financial situation, busy single professionals outsource their dating lives to It’s Just Lunch matchmakers.

No, this is not online dating. This is not free dating. It’s Just Lunch is a personalized matchmaking service. Instead of spending hours searching through online profiles or swiping screens, you will spend time on face-to-face dates. Our matchmakers get to know you, and then hand select your matches. It’s personal, it’s private, it’s effective and it’s off-line.

One of our professional matchmakers will hand-select matches for you based upon the information we discuss in your initial interview combined with the on-going feedback we receive from you after every date and our matchmaker’s intuition. The feedback we receive from you after every date is an important part of our dating process as it allows us to fine tune your matches!

Yes! Once our matchmakers select a match for you, we will contact you by phone to tell you about the person we have chosen. Everything we have learned about you is taken into consideration for this process In addition, we respect your confidentiality and only give out your first name when arranging a match. We never reveal your address, last name, phone number, email address or where you work. We will give you a description of your date as well as share why we think you are going to enjoy meeting this match. Then our matchmakers arrange all the date details for you. You just show up at the restaurant and enjoy your date. If your schedule makes meeting for lunch difficult, we can arrange a drink after work or weekend brunch. We like to create an environment that makes getting to know the other person as comfortable, easy and fun as possible.

At the end of the date, you can exchange business cards or phone numbers and make plans to get together again. Following each date, we ask that you contact us with feedback. Feedback is an important part of the matchmaking process. From your comments and overall impression of the person, we’ll fine tune your future matches. The process couldn’t be easier!

It’s Just Lunch does not conduct background checks. There are a number of reasons for this, including (but not limited to) incomplete or inaccurate record databases.

We focus our efforts on empowering people to use good judgment and to be responsible for their safety, as they would anywhere else.
