I’ve been thinking about how dining out is changing lately, especially with how people split bills or pay in groups. Some apps try to solve that, but most are clunky or too niche. Then I stumbled upon Liven recently — looks like they’re trying to combine rewards, social payments, and dining. Has anyone actually used it for group dinners or casual meetups? Curious if it really adds value or just another layer of tech we don’t need.

I’ve actually used Liven a few times for group dinners, and it’s surprisingly convenient. Splitting bills is seamless, Timberjacks Speisekarte Preise and the added menu-based rewards make dining out more fun. It really simplifies casual meetups.
Yeah, I’ve been using Liven for a few months now, mostly around Melbourne where a ton of spots accept it. It’s not perfect, but it’s surprisingly handy when eating out with friends — you pay through the app, and then earn Liven Points which you can use later at other partner venues. The points actually accumulate faster than I expected, especially when we go out as a group and split through Liven. What I find cool is how you can also donate points to charity if you're not in the mood to redeem them.
It also has this sort of “gamified” vibe, like earning rewards while doing what you’d do anyway — grab food. That said, it’s obviously more useful if your favorite places are already on the platform. Here’s the link if you wanna explore more or see how it’s rated by other users: liven reviews — some liven reviews there echo what I’ve seen so far. Let me know if you try it out, curious what your take would be in a real-world test!
