After years of organizing running dinners myself with endless spreadsheets, duplicate guests and wrong routes, I built this tool. Everything I ran into is now built in as standard.

Every feature was born from a problem I encountered while organizing. No unnecessary bells and whistles — only what you really need.
My biggest frustration: guests ending up with the same tablemates three times in a row. The algorithm now automatically ensures everyone meets as many new people as possible — dietary requirements included.
The best idea I ever had: guests receive a sealed envelope with the next address at each course. The route stays a surprise. Now you can print them with a single click.
Who's vegetarian? Who has a nut allergy? Who can't make the main course? I used to forget something every time. Now you record everything per participant — partner included.
Sometimes you want to tweak things manually — those two neighbours shouldn't be at the same table, or perhaps the new residents should sit together. Drag guests between tables and see the effect instantly.
Every host wants to know: who's coming, and how many? You can send this overview straight away — saves a lot of last-minute messages on the day itself.
The first time I forgot to include the pre-dinner drinks in my plan. Never again: set a central location and the planner automatically factors it into the schedule.
What used to take me an entire evening now takes half an hour. Four steps, done.
Set up the course structure: which courses are there, who hosts the pre/after-party drinks, and how many guests per table.
Add participants with name, address, dietary requirements and availability. Or import via an Excel template.
The planner automatically calculates the optimal seating arrangement. Afterwards, make manual adjustments via drag & drop if needed.
Print the envelope cards and the overview. Ready to enjoy a successful running dinner!
"Planning our neighbourhood running dinner used to take an entire evening. Now I'm done in 20 minutes. Fantastic!"
"The envelope cards are a brilliant idea. The surprise of discovering the next address makes the event even more fun."
"Finally a tool that accounts for dietary requirements and allergies. A must-have for any running dinner organiser."

A running dinner (also known as a progressive dinner or safari supper) is a social event where participants eat each course at a different host's home. That way, everyone meets new people in a relaxed atmosphere.

There is no hard limit. The planner works optimally with 12 to 120 participants, which covers most running dinner events.
The planner uses a smart algorithm that minimises overlap in tablemates. Each participant meets the widest possible variety of fellow guests throughout the evening.
Yes! You can download an Excel template with all columns (name, address, dietary requirements, availability, etc.), fill it in and import it. Saves a lot of time.
For each table, a card is printed per course with the next address. Guests may only open the envelope at the end of the course — so the route stays a surprise until the very last moment.
