Why Feastimator?

Generosity should fill the table, not the trash.

Potlucks are hard to size. Every host wants enough food, but vague assignments and guesswork often create duplicates, oversized trays, and avoidable leftovers. Feastimator gives the whole group one coordinated plan.

Buy and cook with confidence

Plan for the people who are actually coming, including adults, children, portion preference, and the way your menu is structured.

Turn the menu into a clear plan

See cooked quantities, grocery needs, equipment, preparation timing, and small, medium, and large tray alternatives in one place.

Make volunteering effortless

Share one link so signed-in guests can claim a specific dish and tray—and update their selection later.

How it works

From gathering idea to shared plan.

A few thoughtful inputs replace group-chat guesswork with a plan everyone can understand.

01

Tell us about the gathering

Add the guest mix, meal timing, cuisines, number of dishes, portion style, and cooking preference.

02

Shape your menu

Start with relevant dish suggestions, then add, replace, or remove anything. The full plan recalculates immediately.

03

Choose trays and share

Select a tray size for each dish and publish a simple sign-up sheet with the exact number of trays needed.

Quantity engine

Clear rules. Consistent results.

Deterministic serving calculations—not AI-generated quantities
Weighted allocation across mains and dish popularity
Volume-based tray calculations with safe-fill limits
Immediate recalculation whenever the menu changes

Built for trust

Suggestions can be creative. Quantities cannot be imaginary.

Feastimator may suggest dishes to help build your menu, but food quantities, grocery needs, and tray counts come from deterministic configuration and volume-based calculations—not from a generative AI guess.

When you change a dish, its popularity weighting, cooked amount, groceries, equipment, schedule, tray alternatives, and final sign-up sheet are recalculated together.
