Get Thanksgiving dinner on the table hot and on time

  • The home screen of a Thanksgiving plan: nine days to go and one thing to do on Sunday in an orange panel, move the 18 pound turkey to the fridge to thaw, with three jobs this week.
  • An hour-by-hour oven schedule worked back from dinner at 3:30, from putting the turkey in at 10:00 to everyone eating, with the oven conflict between stuffing, casserole and rolls solved.
  • A shopping list scaled for 14 people by store section, with a note that pantry items were left off.
  • A chat where the host says a guest is vegetarian and another has to watch her salt, and the plan updates with a mushroom stuffing, gravy on the side and a two-rack oven check.
  • A list of who brings what, with the pies and sweet potatoes claimed and a vegetable side still needed, and a button to ask for it.

A plan worked back from the time you eat: the one thing to do today, an oven schedule that spots clashes, a shopping list for your headcount, and who brings what.

Your message is ready to send

I'm hosting Thanksgiving for about 14 people and I want to put everything on the table hot and on time without losing my mind.
Build me a small tool that works back from dinner time. Ask me the dinner time, the headcount, the size of my oven and what I am making.
Home screen: how many days to go and the one thing to do today. Include the things with lead times, like thawing the turkey.
A cooking schedule hour by hour for the oven and stovetop. Tell me when two dishes need the oven at the same time and how to fix it.
A shopping list scaled to my headcount, by store section, that leaves out what I already have. Warn me if my turkey is too small.
A page where guests pick a dish and say what they cannot eat, and a list of who brings what.
When I tell you something changed (a guest turns vegetarian, a smaller oven), update the plan and tell me what moved.
Calm design that works on a phone. Reply with the link when it is ready.

What you get

  • One thing to do today, counted down from dinner, including lead times like thawing the turkey.
  • An hour-by-hour oven and stovetop schedule that spots clashes and fixes them.
  • A shopping list scaled to your headcount, by store section, that leaves out what you already have.
  • A page where guests pick a dish and say what they cannot eat.
  • A plan that changes when a guest turns vegetarian or the oven is smaller than you thought.

What usually gets in the way

  • The turkey, the sides and the oven all need the same hours and nobody has worked out the order.
  • Guests offer to bring things by text and the same dish arrives twice.
  • Allergies and dietary needs come up at the table, not before it.
  • The shopping list is written once and is wrong the moment the headcount changes.
  • Everything lives in the host's head until the week of the dinner.
The longer story

Hosting Thanksgiving is a scheduling problem more than a recipe problem: the turkey, the sides and the oven all need the same hours, and the thawing starts days before you can see it.

A plan worked back from the time you eat puts the lead times first, shows where two dishes want the oven at once and how to move one, and scales the shopping list to the people who are actually coming.

Cooking times depend on your oven and your bird: check the turkey with a thermometer and follow the guidance on its packaging.

Potluck sign-up page: who brings what, with allergies and fewer doubled dishes

Guests claim a dish from a link, you see the gaps by category, allergies in one place, and a day-of plan for where everything goes.

Send this to SuperCat

I'm hosting a potluck for about 25 people (a Friendsgiving, an office lunch or a neighborhood party) and I want a great meal with no doubled dishes and nobody left out.
Build me a small tool for me as host and a page for my guests. Ask me the date, the headcount and the categories I want covered (mains, sides, desserts, drinks).
Host home screen: how many dishes are claimed by category, what is still missing, and the one thing to do today (for example, nobody has claimed a vegetarian main).
Guest page: a link where guests pick a dish, see what is already taken, and say what they cannot eat. Tell them when a dish is already covered and suggest what is needed.
Allergies and diets in one place, with each dish marked safe or not, and a small printable card for each dish.
When I tell you something changed (two people both bring apple pie), suggest who switches and offer to message them.
A day-of screen showing where each dish goes and the oven and fridge order.
