Spreads Coming soon
Plan the whole meal. Share the work only if you want to.
A Spread is one complete meal — Thanksgiving dinner, a cookout, Sunday lunch, a birthday supper. Plan every dish yourself, or send one link and let family and friends claim what they'll bring.
Free · up to 20 a month

What it does for you
- No more planning a big meal in your head or on scraps of paper.
- Set the headcount once, and the amounts stay tied to it — no redoing the math.
- Add your recipes and send what you need to Groceries.
- The Cook plan lays out what to make and when, so everything is ready together.
- Inviting others? Open slots show what's still needed, so nobody brings the fifth dessert.
- Save it and use it again next year.

Questions
Do I have to invite anyone?
No. A Spread works just as well when you're cooking everything yourself. Inviting others is optional.
Can I use a Spread for a potluck?
Yes. Send one link and let family and friends claim what they'll bring, and open slots show what's still needed.
How is a Spread different from my Meal Plan?
Meal Plan lays out your everyday meals across the week. A Spread plans one bigger meal in depth — the dishes, the headcount, the recipes, the groceries, when to cook what, and, if you want, who's bringing what.
What's the difference between a Spread and an Event?
A Spread is one meal. An Event holds many meals, all planned together.
Does it work with Groceries?
Yes. You add a Spread's ingredients to your grocery list the same way you add a recipe today.
What is the Cook plan?
Part of every Spread and every Event: from your recipes and headcount, it lays out what to cook and when. We're working through the details with real cooks now. The Cook plan is included with Spreads and Events.
Can I reuse a Spread?
Yes. Copy it for next year and change what's different.
Do guests need a Chefra account?
We're still working on exactly what guests can do without one.
What does it cost?
Spreads are free for up to 20 a month. You'd only need Premium beyond that.
When is it coming?
We're building it now. We'll announce it here the moment it's ready.
