Open Local Chemistryin your ZIP.

Ambassadors are the local hosts who start and run Local Chemistry in their own neighborhood. We bring the brand, the system and the members. You bring the room.

What an ambassador does

  • A set patio table at dusk with Red Mountain behind it

    Scout the spots

    Line up two or three independent restaurants or wine bars in your ZIP that you’d actually go to. We handle the venue agreement.

  • A handwritten guest list beside a glass of red wine

    Build the first room

    Point us to people worth meeting. Every guest still requests an invitation and is reviewed, so the standard stays the same everywhere.

  • Two guests laughing at a wine bar

    Host the evening

    Greet guests, make introductions and keep the night moving. One evening a month in your ZIP.

  • A chef finishing a plate at a candlelit chef’s table

    Keep the standard

    Follow the Code of Conduct, take care of the venue and tell us when something feels off.

What you get

  • Free membership for as long as you’re an active ambassador.
  • Founding Ambassador title for your ZIP, on every evening that launches it.
  • A say in the night: first pick of venues and formats in your neighborhood.
  • The best-known person in the room. Everyone meets you first, which makes meeting people of your own a lot easier.

If you step back, you keep membership at the $99 founding rate.

What we handle

  • Brand, website and promotion
  • Invitations, RSVPs and payments
  • Reviewing every guest request
  • Venue agreements
  • A host playbook, and help planning your first evening
