Stop getting seven bags of chips.
Create a free online sign up sheet to coordinate dishes, avoid duplicates, and get your potluck organized in minutes.
Potluck planning shouldn’t be a guessing game
Everyone brings the same thing
Without visibility into what people plan on brining, you end up with five desserts and no main dish.
Nobody confirms what they're bringing
People say, “I’ll bring that” then forget, or change plans leaving you to scramble last minute.
Communication gets messy
Email chains and long group chats get confusing quick making it easy for things to get missed.
Dietary needs get missed
Without a way to track allergies and preferences up front, someone ends up not eating or a medical emergency.
Take the stress out of hosting.
One link. Everyone in sync.
