Office potluck signup sheet

The team lunch, minus the reply-all thread about who's bringing what.

The office potluck reply-all thread is a workplace institution nobody likes. A signup link in the team channel replaces forty emails with one click each — and the org chart stays out of who brings the good dish.

How to run it well

  • Drop the link in the channel, not email — signup takes under a minute from a phone.
  • Conference-room setup is a real slot; someone has to find the extension cord.
  • Ask for dish names in comments so the spread gets variety without a mandate.
  • Note fridge and microwave reality in the description — the 12:00 microwave queue is the true constraint.

Why SlotsFilled? Participants never create accounts, everyone can edit or cancel their own signup from their confirmation email, reminders go out automatically, and the sheet prints cleanly for the clipboard crowd.
