Every year, I organized a barbecue at the school in Küsnacht. The teachers were invited, and parents were supposed to bring food. I looked for a tool that combined invitations and potluck lists — and couldn't find one. Paul had similar experiences. So we built Whocan.
A simple potluck list that everyone understands, without having to sign up — free and set up in under a minute.

How others organize a potluck
I just used Whocan for the registration for our closing event, and it positively surprised me with the options that participants intuitively used. They even sent me additional info I hadn't thought of. Great!

»Whocan has become a must-have for me. Whether it's planning a team event, dividing up tasks for a campaign launch, or collecting topic preferences for our editorial calendar — it takes two minutes to set up and everyone knows exactly what they're responsible for. Simple, efficient, and no registration hassle for anyone.«

We chose your tool because it was the best of all. Very flexible and easy to use. It was a great help for our celebration. We only had two small things — the vegan display was different than expected, and a custom background image would be great for the future. But it's a really great tool. Thank you very much.

FAQs about potluck sign-up sheets
What is a potluck sign-up sheet?
A potluck sign-up sheet is a shared list where guests choose what they'll bring to a group meal. It prevents duplicates (no four bowls of mashed potatoes), distributes the cooking load, and lets the host see at a glance what's covered.
How do I create a free potluck sign-up sheet?
Enter a title at the top of this page, add the items or categories you'd like to fill (turkey, side, drinks, etc.), and share the link via WhatsApp, email, or any messenger. Guests pick what they bring with one click. No account needed.
Do guests need to register to sign up?
No. Guests click the link, pick what they bring, and submit. Nothing else needed — no email, no password.
How is Whocan different from Perfect Potluck or SignUp.com?
Whocan works without any account — for the organizer and the guests. Perfect Potluck and SignUp.com require accounts. Whocan also covers RSVP, scheduling, and task assignment in one tool, while Perfect Potluck is potluck-only.
Can I limit how many people bring each item?
Yes. When setting up the sheet, you can cap participation per item — useful when you want exactly 12 dinner rolls instead of accidentally 40.
Can guests add their own items?
Yes (optional setting). You can let guests propose new dishes alongside the categories you pre-set — handy when you're unsure what to ask for.
Can I share the sign-up via WhatsApp?
Yes. After creating the sheet you get a shareable link that works in WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, iMessage, email, or anywhere else.
How do I make sure no one brings the same dish?
Pre-set the categories with specific item names ("1 turkey," "2 pies," "1 salad bowl"). When a guest picks an item, it's no longer available — duplicates are prevented automatically.
Can I add a dietary preference column (vegetarian, gluten-free)?
Yes. Whocan lets guests indicate if their dish is vegetarian or has dietary notes — useful for mixed-group potlucks.
What about holidays — do you have ready-made templates?
Yes. We have specific sign-up sheet templates for Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, Christmas, Halloween, Easter, 4th of July, and Valentine's Day. Each one comes pre-filled with classic dish categories for that holiday — just adjust as needed.
