seven crockpots of chili, zero desserts
The potluck sign-up sheet that balances the table
Build a potluck sign-up in minutes: list what the meal needs — mains, sides, desserts, drinks — set how many of each, and share one link. Everyone sees what's already covered before they sign up.

The clipboard never saw the chili coming
Every church has lived it: the sign-up clipboard disappears into the third pew, half the names are unreadable, and Sunday arrives with seven crockpots of chili and not a single dessert. The paper sheet can't tell anyone what's already taken.
An online sheet can. When "Main dish" fills up, it closes itself and gently points the next person at the empty dessert column instead.
How it works
List the meal as slots
Create a sheet called "Fifth Sunday Potluck" and group slots into sections — Mains, Sides, Desserts, Drinks. Give each a capacity: 6 mains, 8 sides, 4 desserts.
Share one link everywhere
Drop the link in the bulletin, the group chat, and the announcements email — or print the QR code for the foyer table. Nobody needs an account to sign up.
Watch the table balance itself
Everyone sees what's taken and what's still needed. Full categories close automatically, and each signer-up gets a confirmation email with a cancel link if plans change.

Why churches use SignUpChurch for potlucks & fellowship meals
Sections for every course
Group slots under headings like Mains, Sides, and Desserts, with a note field so folks can say what they're bringing — and flag the nut allergy before it reaches the fellowship hall.
Capacity that closes the chili floodgates
Set how many of each dish the meal actually needs. When six mains are claimed, the slot reads "Full" and steers the next family toward dessert.
A QR code for the foyer
Every sheet comes with a print-ready QR code (PNG or SVG) for bulletins, slides, and connect cards — scan, tap a dish, done before the postlude ends.
Questions churches ask
Is the potluck sign-up sheet really free?
Yes — the Free plan includes one active sheet with unlimited sign-ups, email confirmations, and a public page with no ads. Paid plans add unlimited sheets, reminders, and more.
Do people need an account to sign up?
No. Volunteers just enter a name and email (phone and a note are optional). They get a confirmation email with a cancel link right away.
Can someone sign up to bring two dishes?
Yes — a slot can accept a quantity, so one family can claim two sides in a single sign-up.
Can people see who's bringing what?
The public page shows first names on each slot, so everyone can see what's covered without exposing full contact details.
