Scheduling poll for team dinners

Plan your Christmas dinner: first the date, then the menu

In December every evening is booked. With a scheduling poll you find the evening when most people can make it – and with a sign-up you then collect confirmations and menu choices.

How it works

Using the example of a team of 10 people.

  1. Suggest evenings

    Create a scheduling poll and enter three to five evenings with a time, for example from 18:30. Add the place in the “Location or video link” field if the restaurant is already fixed.

  2. Send the link to the team

    Send the link by email or in the team chat. Everyone answers Yes, Maybe or No for each evening – without an account.

  3. Fix the date

    The best match is at the top (Yes counts double, Maybe once). With “Confirm date & notify participants” everyone with an email address receives the email with a calendar invitation.

  4. Ask for menu choices

    For the order, you then create a sign-up: an option “Yes, I’m coming” with the question “Menu” (meat, fish, vegetarian) and a remark for allergies.

Frequently asked questions

Can I ask for the date and the menu in a single poll?

No, these are two steps: the scheduling poll finds the evening, the sign-up collects confirmations and menu choices. If the date is already fixed, start straight with the sign-up.

How does everyone get the date into their calendar?

With “Confirm date & notify participants” on the results page: everyone with an email address receives an email with a calendar invitation. Without addresses, you download the calendar file and share it.

Can I limit the seats at the restaurant?

Yes, in the sign-up with “Max. seats” on the option “Yes, I’m coming”. If people bring a partner or guest, switch on “Participants state how many people are coming”; then “Max. people” applies.

What if two evenings have the same number of votes?

Wannja shows all evenings with the same score, and you decide. Yes counts double, Maybe once.

Do my colleagues need an account?

No. The link is enough for voting and signing up. Only the person creating the poll needs a free account.
