The chase

Group chat is fun. Booking from maybes is not.

By the time you have chased 8 friends for a real answer, the cabin is gone, the table is given away, and someone has already gone to bed.

Everyone says they are down until it is time to book.

How it works

From maybe to booked, without the awkward chase.

OpenSeats turns group plans from chaos into real plans—fast. Three steps. One private link. Zero begging for confirmations.

1

Name the plan

Share what you're thinking—where, when, and what it's about. Keep it casual.
