Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

THE WORKS clients are busy working single professionals. They do not have time to organize their own social calendars, or are tired of meeting people at bars and clubs.  The Works clients are often uncomfortable with online dating and prefer a face-to-face real interaction.

THE WORKS can give you a general idea of the ages of those attending a dinner or event. We do not give out personal information such as names, occupation, religion, or specific ages.

Dinners are scheduled at popular restaurants in your area. When selecting a restaurant, consideration is given to cuisine, convenience, ambiance, and pricing.
Events are scheduled at popular venues that fit with the theme of the event and image of the company. These can be in a popular restaurant, lounge or private setting, depending upon the type of event.

Please refer to our Calendar of Events on our website, where all of our dinners, events, sports, and travel are posted.

Each client is responsible for paying the restaurant his or her individual charges. The Works will have pre-arranged with the restaurant for separate cheques. Depending on the dinner format clients are required to pay for their prefixed menu or a la carte menu choices.  A complementary beverage is always included in your dinner.

Business casual is always the best. Dress so you feel comfortable and confident. We do not recommend jeans, sneakers, or baseball caps.

The restaurant host/hostess will know where the group will be and can direct you to us. There will also be a THE WORKS hostess who can direct you to the correct location.  Generally, we will be in the restaurant's bar area, in the beginning of the evening.

Yes. Dinners can be scheduled for two friends (remember you won't meet as many new people though). We prefer not to schedule more than two friends at the same dinner. For events you can bring as many friends as you like.

If there is someone you would like to meet again, but did not get an opportunity to approach at the dinner or event, call THE WORKS office the next day, and we will make the approach on your behalf. Our procedure is to pass on contact information from the interested party - this way no pressure is felt to respond one way or the other. THE WORKS will NOT give out any contact information without prior approval from the individual.

The Works clients can be assured that their personal information will be held completely confidential. We do not sell our membership lists to anyone, nor will we give out last names or any personal information.

There are no refunds for the packages purchased or events booked. We require 24 hours notice of a cancellation for a credit from the event or dinner. Our dinners and events are based on even numbers and last minute cancellations cause complications.

The Works has affordable options for all budgets. Please contact our office at (416) 483-1312 in Toronto, 1-877-449-WORKS (1.877.449.6757).
