Longtable

Holidays, reunions and cabin weekends

Who’s bringing
the rolls?

Longtable is the sign-up sheet for family gatherings. Everyone checks in for the meals they will actually be at and claims a dish. You get a head count you can shop from.

try it, it is a real one

The usual problems: Three potato salads, Nobody brought ice, Wait, how many are coming?, Is Uncle Ray still vegan?, Who has the card table, Reply-all, forty-one messages, We thought YOU had the rolls.

Three steps. One of them is texting a link.

Set it up in the time it takes to find last year’s email thread.

  1. Set the table

    Name the gathering, pick the days, and jot down each meal and what it needs. Rolls. A side. Somebody on ice.

  2. Drop one link in the group text

    No app to install and nothing to sign up for. If Grandpa can open a link, Grandpa can check in.

  3. Watch it fill in

    Families tick the meals they will be at and claim a dish. You see the head count for every meal and what is still open.

It is your family’s business.

  • Unlisted by default. A gathering can only be opened with its link. There is no directory and nothing to search.
  • Lock your own family. Sign in with an email link and only you and the organizer can change your check-in.
  • Delete means delete. Remove a gathering and its names, notes and sign-ups go with it.

Set the table.

Your next gathering can have a link in about two minutes. The rolls will take longer.
