Meet Kith & Kin—your invitation to an authentic, homemade meal. In any home. In any part of the world.

Kith & Kin is a peer-to-peer online network that connects travelers with locals and offers a unique dining experience within the home. We give people who love to cook a way to share their passion and offer travelers a way to enjoy an authentic cultural experience.

It’s a simple concept that works seamlessly. Hosts and guests create profiles on Kith & Kin’s online network, share a little bit about themselves and indicate where and when they would like to share a dinner. Travelers can become a guest at a host’s table—all for the price of an average meal. Guests pay the hosts directly through an easy online transaction at the time of their reservation. The host then shares a small percentage of the revenue with Kith & Kin. Simple. Easy. And affordable. It’s Airbnb meets Opentable within the home.

So why now? The market landscape shows an appetite for localism and emerging trends related to shared experiences. Kith & Kin supports this notion by connecting generous hosts with curious guests to share, learn and enrich local and global communities in a meaningful way. It’s where the simple curiosity to connect with new people comes alive around the dinner table.
Kith & Kin—Find a meal. Host a meal.
