Three steps. Zero chaos.

From group invite to kitchen-ready order sheet in minutes.

01
You create an outing

Log into your dashboard and create an event — name, date, arrival time. Takes 30 seconds.

02
Guests pre-order online

Share a link or QR code. Each guest picks their meal, adds dietary notes, flags a special occasion, and a card hold is placed automatically.

03
Your kitchen is ready

Print the order sheet or email it before service. Every dish, every note, every allergy — organized before the table sits down.


Stop eating the cost of empty seats.

Every guest provides a card when they pre-order. We place a hold — you set the amount. If they show up, release it with one click. If they don't, charge it. No disputes, no awkward conversations.
