Features

What Listo does, in detail.

Each section below maps to a working area of the product. Everything's in one tool — invitations don't live in Punchbowl, the catalog doesn't live in a spreadsheet, the day-of doesn't live in a group text.

01 — Invitations

Households first.

The Smith family gets one invitation. The household RSVPs together. Plus-ones add new guests in the same record. Diet, allergies, and SMS opt-ins live on each guest, not buried in a spreadsheet.

  • Token-bound RSVP links that work without an account
  • Per-guest dietary, allergies, and SMS opt-in
  • Plus-one slots when allowed
  • Hosts can edit any RSVP from the admin

02 — Catalog

Math you only do once.

Set a per-guest ratio for each item — 1.5 burgers per adult, 0.25 lb chicken wings, 3 beers per adult, 2 juice boxes per child. Listo computes the year's quantities from the year's RSVPs.

  • Per-adult / per-child / per-infant ratios
  • Consumer ratio for items only some guests eat
  • Purchase-unit conversion (cans → cases) automatic
  • Override only goes up — never accidentally short

03 — Shopping list

What to buy, what you have.

Live shopping list grouped by category. Mark items obtained as they arrive. Estimated total cost from your catalog or this year's actuals. Print or export when you head to the supplier.

  • Category-grouped: meat, beverages, supplies, equipment
  • Obtained / partial / need status per row
  • CSV export for offline planning
  • Print-friendly for the trip to Costco

04 — Volunteers + day-of

Coverage you don't have to recompute.

Coverage shifts, assignments, and a day-of check-in flow. Helpers see their shifts. You see who's where. No more whiteboard at the front of the house.

  • Shift templates for recurring station coverage
  • Per-volunteer calendar of assignments
  • Day-of guest check-in (per person)
  • Volunteer interest captured at RSVP time

05 — Year over year

Last year is the seed.

Clone last year's event into this year — household list, catalog, tasks. Refine instead of restarting. The 11th annual BBQ is one click from the 10th.

  • One-click clone of households + guests
  • Catalog persists across years; per-event quantities track separately
  • Procurement (obtained, paid, who) per event
  • Compare year-over-year headcounts at a glance

06 — Communications

Reach guests on their channel.

Email and SMS templates with variable substitution. Reminder waves on a schedule. Every send logged with delivery + open status. Guest opt-in respected at the per-guest level.

  • Email via Resend, SMS via Twilio
  • Tenant-level template overrides
  • Reminder waves at T-21 / T-14 / T-7 / T-2 days
  • Quiet hours enforced (no 3am pings)

07 — Multi-tenant

Multiple events, multiple hosts.

Run the BBQ AND the holiday party from the same login. Each tenant has its own subdomain, its own catalog, its own brand. Helpers can belong to multiple tenants without juggling accounts.

  • Subdomain per tenant (posnerbbq.listorun.com)
  • Custom domain support (posnerbbq.com)
  • Per-tenant brand colors and templates
  • Cross-tenant single sign-on
