Be the part of the date they don't have to plan.
unplan helps busy couples take the planning out of a night: the sitter, the car home, the flowers, the class. We bring in a small number of local businesses we have checked ourselves. Apply below and a person will look at it.
Who can apply.
Nine groups, and we add types as couples ask for them. You can be a one-person business or a larger company, as long as you are a real, registered business that is good at what you do.
Time and care
Babysitting and childcare, pet sitting, dog walking, home cleaning before a date.
Looking and feeling good
Hair and barbers, makeup, nails, a spa, couples massage, a personal stylist.
Getting there
Chauffeurs and limousines, vintage or luxury car hire, sober-ride services, bike, boat and scooter tours.
Food and drink
A private chef at home, date-night meal kits, cooking and baking classes, tastings, picnic hampers, custom cakes, food tours.
Experiences
Escape rooms, art, pottery and dance classes, concerts, theatre and comedy, sports events, museum nights, stargazing, adventure parks, mini golf, bowling and arcades, hot-air balloons.
Occasions and gifts
Florists, jewellers and engravers, personalised gifts, room decorators, proposal planners, anniversary packages, couple photographers.
Connection
Couples workshops, coaching and relationship events, couples yoga and fitness. Sensitive, so the checks are stricter and we are clear about what each one is and is not.
Stays near home
A staycation hotel or boutique inn in the couple’s own city.
Venues
Restaurants, bars and activity venues that want more than a listing. A venue can also use the free form on the venues page.
We open groups and cities one at a time, so an application may wait while we get to your city. Applying is not a listing: nobody is listed until the checks below are done.
How we check.
Every partner goes through the same steps, whether we found you or you applied here. A person decides at each one, and nobody is listed on a promise.
- DocumentsYour business registration, insurance, and any licence your trade needs. They have to be current and match the business name.
- ReputationReviews, references, a search for complaints, and one call with you. We look for real, recent reviews and someone easy to deal with.
- A test bookingSomeone from our team books or visits once, as a customer. It should be on time, as described, fairly priced and polite.
- ProbationThe first bookings only, watched closely. You move on after a good run of bookings with good ratings and no unresolved complaint.
- OngoingCouples rate a service privately afterwards. A complaint pauses a listing at once, and documents are checked again every year.
Some types take longer: childcare, rides, spa and massage, and everything under Connection need stricter checks, and sometimes a lawyer’s view of the local rules before the first listing.
What we promise.
- No paid placement. Partners are chosen for fit and quality, never for what they pay. A partner can carry a “partner” label or an offer; nobody buys a better position.
- Discreet. Nothing about couples is sold or shared. A partner only gets what a booking needs: a time, an address to collect from, a headcount, for that request only.
- Inside unplan. Couples ask for and pay for services in unplan, not in an open marketplace, so you don’t get a couple’s email or phone unless they choose to share them.
- Plain terms. What unplan earns on a booking, and how it can change, is written in the partner agreement you read before you are listed. A complaint pauses a listing while we look into it.
Apply to be a partner.
Application received.
Thank you. A person will read it and, if it is a fit for now, get in touch about the next step: the documents we need. That can take a few weeks, and we only write to you about this application. If you never hear from us, nothing is listed and your details are deleted after 90 days.
