Dining in Abu Dhabi just got an upgrade with a new app offering social tables, easy bill splitting and instant cashback

There’s a new dining app in Abu Dhabi, and it’s not just here to help you split the bill. SoSocial has officially launched in the capital, quietly positioning itself as something bigger than your usual food app. Built in Abu Dhabi and licensed under ADGM, it leans into the idea that going out should feel social again, not transactional. You can join a table, split the bill in seconds and get a bit of money back while you’re at it.

Here’s where it gets interesting. SoSocial is built on a payment system that does more than process your dinner tab. The platform is designed to connect with other loyalty programmes you already use. So if you’re signed up to something like a hotel or coffee rewards app, the tech is ready to recognise that and apply your points automatically once brands come on board. No scanning, no uploading receipts, no chasing rewards later.

It’s a small shift, but one that could change how people think about dining out. Less admin, more eating. To get people on board, SoSocial is launching a pretty bold April campaign. Users can get up to 100 percent instant cashback at selected venues across Abu Dhabi.

The app already has more than 13,000 users in its network, connecting people to restaurants and to each other in real time. You can join tables, discover new spots and turn a regular dinner into something a little more social.

The idea is simple. Go out, meet people, eat well and maybe get some of your money back while you’re at it.
