The longer version
Set the days and share one link. People put their own name down for a day that suits them. Allergies and dietary needs — coeliac, dairy-free, nuts — sit at the top of the board where nobody can miss them, and the address goes only to whoever has actually claimed a day. No group-chat scramble, no doubling up, no accounts.
Not everyone cooks, so you can put up other jobs as well: a school run, a load of washing, mowing, a pickup, or a second freezer meal for later. There are meal ideas and what freezes well if you need them, and a comparison with MealTrain.com if you are weighing this against the paid one.
FAQ
Where do I put allergies and dietary needs?
There's a dietary field when you set the roster up. It shows prominently at the top of the shared board for everyone who cooks — that's deliberate, it's the safety detail. The drop-off address, by contrast, stays private to your coordinator page.
Can someone cancel if they can't make it?
Yes. Their own day has a "can't make it?" button — it hands the day back and it opens up for someone else straight away. You can also remove any name from the coordinator page.
Can people sign up for things other than meals?
Yes, and it is free. Add up to twelve other jobs beside the meals — a school run, the dog, washing, the lawn — each with how many people it needs. They are claimed from the same link and appear in the same export.
Does it handle money?
No — deliberately. It organises who cooks on which day. Nothing to do with dollars; that's never part of it.
