Vetted for private dining

How it works

Three steps. One link for the restaurant.

Step 1

Find the room

Search by city or neighborhood. Filter by party size, price, easy parking and A/V. Every restaurant is vetted for private dining.

Step 2

Request it

Room, headcount, menu style and notes go to the restaurant in one message; they accept from one link. If they’re slow, MedPlate follows up and lines up backups.

Step 3

Show up

Text your guests an invite with the map, parking and “add to calendar.” Pay the restaurant at the table, snap the receipt, and your expense report is done.

For event hosts

  • No up-front payment: a card hold only where the restaurant takes one
  • Per-person spend check against your company limit
  • Itemized receipts with the per-attendee total, ready for your expense report

Local first

Built for Charlotte's independent restaurants.

A dinner at an independent restaurant keeps 2.4 times as much money in Charlotte as the same dinner at a national chain: about $500 more of every $1,200 dinner. Chains keep adding locations while independents close, so every dinner MedPlate books is aimed at a locally owned room, and our goal is to grow those dollars every quarter.

2.4×

as much money stays local when the dinner is at an independent: $72.70 of every $100, against $30.40 at a national chain.

~$1.3M

a year of Charlotte private-dining spend at risk of going to whichever room answers first. Sent to independents, about $550,000 more of it stays in Charlotte than at chains.

MedPlate estimate: 42% of organizers give up on booking (OpenTable/WALR 2025) × ~$3M; × 72.7% vs 30.4%
