Our Success

It’s Just Lunch is a fun, proactive approach to your personal life. As first date specialists, we arrange fun lunch dates and drinks after work for busy professionals. We began in a tiny office in Chicago in 1991 and have grown to over 85 offices worldwide. In summer 2004, we opened our first international locations in Singapore and Toronto. Many of our first dates lead to 2nd dates and our matchmaking is responsible for thousands of marriages. We have arranged over 2 million fun first dates in our 15 years. Each month we arrange 50,000 dates for our 30,000 members worldwide----and growing by thousands each month!—that’s a lot of lunch dates!

A Chicago woman founded It’s Just Lunch over 15 years ago after her engagement was suddenly called off. She attended her first IJL wedding after the company had been in business for just 5 months. Since then, The IJL Team has been responsible for many weddings and she still gets goose bumps when she hears about another engagement!

Successful professional people understand that they must be as proactive in their personal life as they are in their professional life. There are almost 400.000 people in Reno. Our clients understand that left to chance, they will come in contact with a limited number of these people, especially in a social situation that allows individuals to get to know people on a personal level. That is why It’s Just Lunch is so successful. Our only reason for existing is to introduce professional people to each other in a comfortable, discrete manner. The sole purpose of the first date is to determine if they would like a second date.
