## **Cookbook: A Guide to Hosting TON Breakfasts**

This comprehensive guide is designed to assist you in organizing your very own TON breakfasts, dinners, lunches, or informal gatherings. Whether you are a TON Society enthusiast or simply intrigued by the world of cryptocurrency, this networking event offers an ideal platform to connect with like-minded individuals, exchange ideas and projects, and foster collaborations with others.

If you're eager to get started, join us in the chat **[here](https://t.me/tonbreakfast)**, where you can announce upcoming breakfasts, extend invitations to participants, and receive support from the community. 

Let's make these TON Breakfasts memorable and enriching experiences together!

### **Step 1: Prepare the dish**

The concept of TON Breakfasts is to promote networking, collaboration, and growth within the TON Society. These gatherings can take place during breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and participants engage with each other in any format they prefer.

The number of attendees can vary from 2 to 20 people or even more, and the cost per person typically ranges from $5 to $10. There are two options for handling the expenses: you can either organize a self-paid breakfast where attendees cover their own costs, or you can arrange the breakfast and request reimbursement from the TON Foundation afterward.

If you choose the reimbursement option, please send a little announcement about what you are planning to do (excepted number of attendees, location, any help you need from our side) to the **[TON Breakfast chat here](https://t.me/tonbreakfast)**. 
Try putting everything in one message 🙏.

Danel will check and get in touch if needed. 

Once that is done, create an Onton event to distribute the SBTs. if you do not have access to Onton, refer to this [message](https://t.me/tonbreakfast/7963).


### **Step 2: Check the ingredients for the recipe**

To begin, you'll need a minimum of two individuals with an interest in Web3-related topics. The basic setup involves gathering over a meal for a duration of at least two weeks.

Select a convenient time and location that suits everyone's schedule, ensuring you reserve a table at a cozy breakfast venue. Share these details with all interested parties through social media or platforms like **[lu.ma](https://lu.ma/)**, **[meetup](https://www.meetup.com/)**, and **[Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/)** to attract participants.

The key objective is to establish a consistent meeting point so that people are aware of when and where the gatherings take place. By doing so, you create a reliable and inviting environment for ongoing engagement and collaboration.

### **Step 3: Try it after cooking**

 After the event is successfully done: send a photo of all the breakfast attendees, some videos from the breakfast, and your feedback to the  **[TON Breakfast chat here](https://t.me/tonbreakfast)**.

Fill out **[the form](https://ton-org.typeform.com/to/CBAjNqfm)** for the reimbursement processing.

The refund will be processed in USDT-TON and may take 2-4 weeks to complete.

Our beloved breakfast organizers will all receive a special SBT — an NFT that commemorates the event and adds an achievement on the TON Society profile.


### Recipe👩🏼‍🍳 

- Choose the date, time, and place for the breakfast
- Make a reservation — book a table at some cafe
- Prepare an agenda to discuss: some recent web3 news, TON ecosystem, etc.
- Write an announcement for any event platform listed above, inviting everyone on the  **[TON Breakfast chat here](https://t.me/tonbreakfast)**.
- Create an event on **[Onton Bot](https://t.me/theontonbot)** and distribute the link to claim an SBT among the participants. This is a compulsory to do
- Promote through different social media. Not only Telegram, but also Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc. You may use your own account to start with
- Collect RVPS and remind everyone of the time and place before the breakfast
- Make some photos during the breakfast
- Share the results of the breakfast afterward: the number of people, topics for the future, useful contacts etc on the  **[TON Breakfast chat here](https://t.me/tonbreakfast)**.
- Fill out **[the form](https://ton-org.typeform.com/to/CBAjNqfm)** to get a reimbursement and an organizers SBT.
- Plan the next meeting
