Balance the meal before the day

Check the replies before the party: if desserts pile up, say so in the form description or remove that option from the list. There is no quota per option, so it is up to you to adjust.

Export the responses to CSV to print the list of dishes with their allergens and put it on the table.

Allergens, plainly

The list covers common allergens; add more if needed: mustard, celery, sesame, soya, sulphites. Guests with allergies spot the declared allergens at a glance, though it is still worth asking when in doubt.

The form asks what the dish contains, not who is allergic: nobody has to disclose their health.

Personal data: the right habits

  • A first name is often enough: no need for an email for a meal among neighbours or friends.
  • Responses are hosted in France, with OVHcloud.
