Why this matters

A profile switch should clarify your next move—not erase the reason you joined.

Members may begin as foodies and later become business owners, professionals or creators. Others may want a different public or private visibility path. The built-in switcher gives logged-in members a central place to review the available profile types.

Your role changed

Move from a personal discovery path into an owner or professional profile when your real responsibilities change.

Your visibility preference changed

Review public and private choices when you want more discovery or less public user-listing visibility.

Your goals became more specific

Choose the profile that best supports business management, professional credibility, foodie participation or optional social discovery.

The member switcher is part of EasySocial and is available after login. Because different profiles can have different fields and functionality, review the selection screen, save important information and complete any new profile-specific fields after the switch.
