Every guest picks their dish. You get the kitchen's order.

Each person in each party picks from your menu, and the counts add themselves up, with dietary notes checked against the dishes. Next month, duplicate the event and invite the same guests again.

  • Next month, start from this one

    Duplicate any event with its menu and options, pick the new date, and invite the same guests again. Nobody's answer carries over.

  • Invite the people you always invite

    Tick your saved groups, or paste names with emails and mobile numbers. A group keeps each person's standing dietary notes, ready on their emailed reply when you ask for dietary notes.

  • Reminders chase people for you

    Anyone who hasn't answered gets a reminder three days after the invitation, and another before your reply-by date if you set one.

  • Answers arrive the way you like

    A daily summary or an email for every reply. Your guests get a copy of their answer and can change it until your deadline.

  • A link and a QR code for printed invitations

    Put them on a card, a newsletter or the church bulletin. Guests scan the code or open the link, type the short event code you print beside it, and answer.

  • Texts to US mobile numbers Pro and Ultra · coming soon

    The invitation and reminders by text as well as or instead of email.

  • A co-host who helps you run it Pro and Ultra · coming soon

    Share an event with someone who can view it or run it with you.

Kitchen copy · Garden Club supper No. 0412

The kitchen's copy: how many of each, and who can't eat what.

Order, buy or cook for the people coming, with fewer leftovers and nobody's dish run out.

  • Sheets for the people cooking

    Print the kitchen counts and dietary notes, or download a spreadsheet for your caterer.

Questions hosts ask

Not answered here? Send us a message or read the help pages.

  • Yes. The free plan needs no card and doesn't run out: plan 2 events each month, with up to 75 invitations each. Pro and Ultra, with more events and invitations, are coming soon.

  • No. You sign in with your Google or Apple account, and there is nothing to install. Your guests need no account at all: they answer from the link in their invitation, or with your event's link and code.

  • Any event where people eat together: a club's monthly dinner, a church supper, an office lunch, a wedding or a family reunion. You name the event and plan its menu; there's no list of event types to fit into.

  • Yes! When recording someone's response, we will capture the number of people attending in their party and the meal choices for every guest. If your event has no menu, turn meal choices off and ReserveMyMeal works as a plain RSVP.

  • We know that for many events, the person you send an invitation to will have additional people attending with them. Each plan's quota for invitations is based on the number of invitations, not the number of people attending. When a person RSVPs to your event, they will specify the total number of people attending in their party, up to the limit you set: up to 7 by default, lower for the whole event, or different for one guest (a plus-one for some, nobody extra for others). If you only want to hear from the people you invite, turn off asking how many are coming.

  • Yes! When you add different meal courses to your event, simply call one of them Drinks and add the drink choices that you'd like your guests to choose from.

  • Yes. Anyone who hasn't answered gets a reminder three days after the invitation, and another before your reply-by date if you set one, by email, and by text message on the Pro and Ultra plans, which are coming soon. Guests can unsubscribe from the emails, or reply STOP to the texts, at any time.

  • Yes, on the Pro and Ultra plans, which are coming soon. Switch on text messages for an event and guests with a US mobile number get the invitation and reminders by text, as well as or instead of email. Pro includes 300 texts a month and Ultra 1,250; once they are used, guests are emailed until the next month starts.

  • Yes. Switch on your event's public link and you get a link and a QR code to print on your invitations, a newsletter or the church bulletin. Guests scan the code or type the link, enter your event code and answer on their phone.

  • Yes! You can create groups of guests so that you can easily invite the same group of people to an event that happens on a regular basis. Create the group once and then simply import the guests into a new event when you create it.

  • Yes! Click Duplicate on any event, even one that has already happened, and pick a new date. The copy has the same details, options and menu, ready to edit before you go live. You can also invite the same guests again and copy your tables, with nobody's answer or seat carried over.

  • Yes, on the Pro and Ultra plans, which are coming soon. Share an event by email with a co-host: a viewer can see the event, its report and seating plan, and a host can change everything except deleting, duplicating or sharing it. Pro includes one co-host per event and Ultra 5. Co-hosts sign in with Google or Apple and need no paid plan of their own.

  • Yes. Your clients' guests choose a dish for each person in their party, and you get a count for every dish, a limit on any dish you can only make so many of, dietary notes checked against your allergen labels, and a spreadsheet of the counts for your kitchen. The Ultra plan, coming soon, is made for caterers and venues: unlimited events a month and 300 invitations per event.

  • Yes. Run each client's event from your account: their guests pick a dish for each person in their party, and you get the count for every dish, dietary notes checked against the menu, and print sheets and spreadsheets for whoever is cooking. If you run many events a month, the Ultra plan, coming soon, is made for that.

  • Yes! Our free tools need no account: a printable potluck sign-up sheet, a party food calculator, printable place cards and menu cards, an invitation wording generator, a dinner party checklist and an allergen guide for hosts. Find them all under Free tools.
