Office potluck timeline

When the date is set

Create the sheet, add travel-friendly categories, and include vegetarian, vegan, or allergy-aware options before posting it at work.

When you share it

Post one link in Slack, Teams, or email and ask coworkers to claim a dish, drink, or supply instead of replying in the thread.

The day before

Check missing mains, drinks, plates, and labeled allergens, then send one reminder that names only the gaps.

Plan an office potluck around the workday

Ask for dishes that travel well, label allergens clearly, and include disposable plates, serving utensils, and cleanup supplies. Share the sheet in the communication channel coworkers already use.

Make dietary choices visible before lunch

Create distinct vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-aware options rather than hoping people remember them in chat.
