Coffee After Workis a dating app built for working professionals who are looking for something real. Here's how it works, from sign-up to your first conversation.
1. Sign up with your work email
Coffee After Workis exclusively for working professionals. To join, you'll need to register using your corporate email address. This helps us build a trusted community where every member is connected to a verified workplace. Curious why? Read more about the work-email requirement.
2. Verify your identity
Complete a mandatory selfie verification during sign-up to confirm your identity and help keep the community authentic. Your account will only be activated once verification is successfully completed. Your verification selfie is reviewed privately, never shared with other members, and automatically deleted after the verification process is complete. See Photo verification explained.
3. Build your profile
Add your photos, complete your profile details, and tell us what you're looking for. Every profile is reviewed and verified by our team before it becomes visible. Once approved, your profile will be shown to a wider pool of compatible professionals based on your preferences and profile completeness. See Creating your profile.
4. Start chatting
Every connection begins with conversation, not photos. Chat freely, share GIFs, and get to know the person behind the profile. Once you've had a meaningful conversation, you'll unlock the ability to send a Photo Reveal request. When accepted by both members, your profile photos become visible to each other, creating a more intentional way to connect. See Messaging your matches.
