Every guest picks their dish. You get the kitchen's order.
Each person in each party picks from your menu, and the counts and allergies add themselves up.

-
Yes! Our free plan is 100% free. You can plan 2 events each month with up to 75 invitations. If you need more events a month, or more than 75 invitations, then you'll need to choose a paid plan.
-
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.
-
It's entirely up to you! Plan your wedding or the next office lunch. Be the hero of your church's barbecue or your next family reunion. You aren't limited by anything in our system for the type of event you plan.
-
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.
-
Absolutely! We'll send your invited guests courteous reminders to RSVP for your event by email and, on the Pro and Ultra plans, by text message. Of course, we also respect that some people may not want to hear from us, so guests can unsubscribe from the emails, or reply STOP to the texts, at any time.
-
Yes, on the Pro and Ultra plans. 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, that's no problem! We provide a web address (URL) that you can print on your RSVPs. We also provide a QR code that you can print on your RSVPs. With the QR code, guests can simply scan with their phone and be brought directly to the RSVP page for your event!
-
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. 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 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! This is a great value add service for your clients. You can save your clients money by ensuring that the quantities and types of food available are correct based on each guest's preferences.
