A couple needs main-course choices from 48 guests. They create one MealReply event with chicken, salmon, and vegan mushroom pie, then share the participant link in the same message as the RSVP reminder.

Three real choices keep the decision clear

Each option includes a short description. The vegan dish is described accurately, without making unsupported allergen claims, and the event note states the response deadline.

Every guest submits one named response

Guests enter the name used on the invitation, choose one main course, select a dietary status, and add a note only when the organiser needs more detail.

The same invitation supports link and QR access

The couple copies the link into the family chat and places the adjacent QR code on a printed information card. They keep the management link in their private planning notes.

The manager view becomes the order worksheet

At the deadline the counts show 23 chicken, 15 salmon, and 10 vegan pies. The named list highlights two severe allergy notes for direct confirmation before the final order.
