Qui apporte quoi?
Organize an office potluck
The office potluck is coming up, and you already know how it usually ends: five people show up with a salad, nobody thought about dessert, and two colleagues bring the exact same pasta dish.
A shared list heads off the problem before it happens: everyone sees what's already taken and picks something that's still missing, without you having to play conductor over email.
The email thread that goes in circles
The classic method is the email to the whole floor: replies get lost between the reply-alls, the colleagues who forget, and the ones who answer without reading what others already offered. You end up keeping the list by hand and following up three times.
A public list where everyone signs themselves up makes the headache disappear: dishes spread out on their own, duplicates jump out, and nobody needs an account to add their contribution.
The office potluck in three steps
Create the list of dishes
Starters, mains, desserts, drinks: you can set up categories or leave the list open.
Share the link with the team
One link for the whole office, by email or in the team channel. No account to create.
Everyone picks what they bring
Your colleagues see what's still missing and sign up in one click. The list fills in before your eyes, with no duplicates.
Frequently asked questions
Do my colleagues need to create an account?
No. They open the link and add their dish right in the browser. No sign-up, no app to install.
How do I avoid everyone bringing dessert?
Everyone sees in real time what's already taken and what's missing: the empty categories fill themselves in, without you having to assign anything.
Can people change their contribution at the last minute?
Yes, the list stays live until the day of: everyone can edit or remove their dish, and the up-to-date version shows at the same link.
What if the potluck goes with a party?
The invitation from Qui sera là? (quiserala.ca) can display the potluck list directly: colleagues confirm they're coming, then pick what they bring, all in one place.
Qui apporte quoi? does exactly that: the office potluck list, public and duplicate-free, with no account.
