Five turkeys, zero sides?

Friendsgivings drown in duplicate turkeys yearly. Sides never arrive.

1. The problem

Friend groups host Friendsgivings where five turkeys arrive with zero sides. Allergies surprise hosts mid-feast. Oven schedules clash hourly. Dietary needs hide until serving. The hardest part is course balance upfront. A thread might promise dishes vaguely. That uncertainty makes it hard to feast together fully.

What people are saying

“Five turkeys arrived last year, zero sides. I need course assignments with allergy flags.”

2. What exists

Group chats, Perfect Potluck and spreadsheets assign dishes, while turkeys duplicate. Tools work yet adoption lags. A chat might coordinate loosely. There is little help with course-balanced assignments plus allergy flags for friend feasts.

3. The solution

The solution could be a table-balancing engine for Friendsgiving. It could assign courses fairly with preferences honored. It could flag allergies and diets early. Oven timelines could sequence cooking. The goal would be feasts remembered fondly.
