Why it works

Built for busy team families

Everything lands in the inbox families already check — nothing new to download or join.

Works from any phone

The signup page is mobile-first — a parent in the school pickup line can claim a snack week in ten seconds, from any email app.

Cancellations handle themselves

A family cancels via their magic link, the slot reopens, and the earliest waitlisted family is promoted and emailed automatically. You find out; you don't fix it.

Repeat the season in one click

With Pro, duplicate last month's sheet — same slots, reset to empty. Weekly snack duty becomes a 10-second job all season long.

No ads near your team

Your families see a clean signup page — never ads, on any plan. And nobody has to make an account to help the team.

FAQ

Team-parent questions

Can one email cover a whole season of snack duty?

Yes. The Team Snack Schedule template creates one slot per week — one for each of the next six Mondays. Send it once; each family claims a week, gets a confirmation, and gets an automatic reminder before their turn. With Pro you can duplicate the sheet for the next stretch of the season in one click.

Do the other parents need to install anything?

No. Only the organizer installs the add-on. Every other family just clicks Sign Up in the email and types their name — no account, no app, no ads. It works in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and every other client.

What happens when a family cancels their week?

Their confirmation email has a magic manage link they use to cancel themselves — no text to you. The slot reopens instantly on the live sheet, and if anyone was waitlisted, the earliest waitlisted family is promoted and emailed automatically.
