Common Meal Sign-ups for Cohousing & Communal Houses

GRUP keeps the headcount for common meals. Residents set the meals they usually join once, opt out of a single meal in a tap, and the cook knows how many to cook for.

A sign-out sheet instead of a sign-up sheet

Most common-meal systems ask people to sign up for every meal. GRUP works the other way round: each resident sets the meals they usually eat, like weekday dinners or the Sunday brunch, and is counted automatically. They only open the app when their plans change.

• Set it once: choose your usual meals and you’re on the list every week
• Opt out in a tap: away on Thursday? Skip just that dinner
• Guests and children: add them to any meal without them needing an account
• One number for the cook: see who’s eating at each meal before you shop

Built for houses that cook for a crowd

GRUP fits any group where someone cooks for a number:

• Cohousing communities with two or three common meals a week
• Communal houses with a resident cook or a cooking rota
• Intentional and religious communities, retreat centres and shared farms

Free and open source

GRUP is free to use on iPhone, Android and the web, and the code is open source under the AGPL. It’s available in English, Italian, German, French and Spanish.
