Who’s eating tonight
Anyone can say they’re in or out for a meal, from their own phone. The count and the grocery list follow. That covers a crew on shifts, roommates who eat together some nights, and kids who are at the other parent’s on Wednesdays.
A meal starts at the number who usually eat, and a number you type always wins: guests, a plus-one, or an estimate for a big supper.
One cook, many voices
Everyone votes on the week’s dinners and asks for what they want. Whoever plans makes the call, and everyone sees the result: tonight’s dinner, the week, and the list.
How different groups use it
- Roommates. In or out per meal, one shared list, and a request line for “we’re out of coffee”.
- Co-parents. Kids are profiles you manage, and they can be in or out night by night. One account can belong to more than one household.
- Firehouse and EMS crews. Who eats changes every shift. One person cooks, everyone votes, one list for the store run.
- Student co-ops and cohousing. Many voices, sign-ups by saying you’re in, and quantities that scale for a crowd.
- A house with a cook or staff. Staff can plan without eating, and residents without phones are profiles staff look after. Residents don’t see each other’s details.
- A weekly supper. Plan the one night you eat together, and set dinner to whatever hour it is.
A household holds up to 150 people.
Kitchen-wide rules
Running a nut-free or halal kitchen? Add a profile for the kitchen with those restrictions set to severe, and every meal is checked against them, on top of each person’s own. How the check works.
