Code of conduct

What you agree to
when you sit down

Entering a table means agreeing to this. It is short on purpose, and it forms part of the Terms of Service.

Last updated 2 September 2026

Post what you actually ate.

A plate is a photo of something that was in front of you. Not a stock photo, not last year’s dinner, not someone else’s meal passed off as yours. The whole thing rests on the plates being real.

Nothing inappropriate.

No nudity or sexual content, no gore, no hate, no harassment, no illegal content, no advertising, and nothing that isn’t yours to post. If other people are in the photo, they agreed to be there.

Judge the plate, not the person.

Judging a donut is the point. Comments about someone’s body, weight, health or eating are not, and neither is anything you would not say across a real table.

The judging is a joke.

Being fried is a bit between friends, not a verdict on you. If that lands badly — if the fries or the remarks actually sting — this app may not be for you, and there is no shame in leaving the table.

What happens at the table stays at the table.

Tables are private. Don’t re-post someone else’s plates or remarks outside the table without asking them first.

Don’t rig the table.

No fake seats, no plates posted for someone else, no coordinated frying of one particular person. It stops being funny the moment it is arranged.

This is not the place for a hard time with food.

FriendsFried is a joke about dinner, not a diet. If having your food judged makes eating harder, close the table and talk to someone you trust.

Breaking this costs you the seat.

We can remove a plate, a seat or a whole table at any time, without notice, if any of the above is ignored. There is no appeal — it is a very small experiment run by very few people.

Plain language, not a legal document — but it is part of the Terms of Service, so breaking it is breaking those. Plates, verdicts and whole tables may be lost without warning, the service may be disrupted or taken down, and nothing is backed up. What you post stays your responsibility.
