Can staff sign up members who are not tech-savvy?

Absolutely. Staff at the front desk can pull up the signup link on the computer and enter a member's name in seconds. Many senior centers handle sign-ups this way.

How do we accommodate dietary restrictions for seniors?

Create specific slots: 'Low-Sodium Main Dish,' 'Diabetic-Friendly Dessert,' 'Soft-Food Side.' Note restrictions in the description so every contributor is aware.

Can we print the potluck signup list?

Export the signup list as a PDF and print it. Post it on the bulletin board so members can see at a glance who is bringing what.

How do we handle members who cannot cook?

Add slots for store-bought items: 'Dinner Rolls (store-bought ok),' 'Case of Water Bottles,' 'Paper Plates & Napkins.' Or add a cash contribution slot.

Can family members sign up on behalf of a senior?

Yes. The link works for anyone. A daughter can sign up her mom to bring the famous apple pie, then remind her the day before.
