Frequently Asked Questions
How does the online potluck tool work?
The host creates a list of required dishes or groceries in the dashboard. Guests receive a link, access the page, and select the items they plan to bring. The system automatically updates the status for everyone.
How are duplicate dishes avoided at a party?
The platform uses an instant claiming mechanic. As soon as a person selects a dish, it is marked as taken. This completely eliminates situations where multiple people bring the exact same salad or dessert.
Is registration required to select a dish?
Full account registration is not required. A guest follows the link and enters an email address while claiming an item. This confirms and records the choice in the system.
Can the visual design of the potluck list be customized?
Yes. The platform offers interchangeable design templates. Adjust the page appearance to match the event style, from a formal dinner to a themed party.
Can a potluck list be created separately from an event?
Yes. The module functions as an independent tool. Create a list and share it at any time, even if the main event is not planned on the platform.
Can the menu be divided into categories?
Yes. The tool supports creating sections. This visually simplifies the list and helps identify exactly which categories still need filling.
How are dishes coordinated regarding allergies?
Guests can leave comments on selected dishes, noting the presence of specific ingredients. Additionally, the RSVP collection feature allows the host to learn about dietary restrictions in advance and account for them when planning the menu.
Can a guest add a dish that is not on the list?
Yes. For this, an open potluck format is used, where the host leaves open slots (e.g., "Any dessert"). A guest independently enters the dish name, and it appears on the general list.
Can guests change their selection after confirming?
Guests can cancel or change a choice provided they have the appropriate access. All updates sync instantly and appear on the general list.
