Why does the "visitor" pay for the meal? If the answer is that the visitor is expected to be wealthy compared to the local and that the local chooses the location, then this appears like a how to get mugged app.

Hey thanks for your comment. I certainly don't want a "how to get mugged app". I look at it as the local is the tourguide and you're paying for a tour. They pick the restaurant and if you agree that's where you go. Since its just meeting in a public place I would hope the chances of getting mugged are low. My hope is that by looking at their social media profiles you'd get an idea of what type of person you are meeting with.
