It's Just Lunch

It's Just Lunch is a pioneering professional matchmaking service that has arranged millions of first dates for busy professionals since its founding in 1991 by Andrea McGinty, who launched the company after personal romantic challenges sparked the vision of human-powered dating for career-focused individuals. Operating across over 100 locations worldwide, the service combines personalized matchmaker expertise with algorithmic screening to identify compatible candidates from its substantial client database, focusing specifically on lunch dates and post-work social settings designed for professional environments.

Each applicant undergoes comprehensive screening including criminal record checks and video interviews to ensure quality control and compatibility assessment before introduction to potential matches. As the largest and most affordable traditional matchmaking service in its category, It's Just Lunch operates on a premium membership model targeting affluent professionals aged 30 and above seeking serious long-term relationships. Owned by private equity firm Riverside, the company continues to serve the niche market of high-income professionals who value personal attention and human judgment over swipe-based algorithms, maintaining strong regional presence particularly in major US metropolitan areas.
