When it takes a village.
From “we need help” to a full house.
Roles with per-shift spots, time shifts across one day or a whole weekend, supplies with quantities, zones with real addresses. Kai drafts the board and pairs every ask with a time and place — you adjust and publish.
One link opens the board in any browser — no app download needed. Guests RSVP and pick their shifts in one flow, grab multiple shifts across days, or pledge three cases of water. Every claim gets an instant confirmation.
Everyone gets an SMS reminder the day before their shift. On the day, watch zones staff up as people check in by QR, tap, or location — and see what is still needed while there is time to fix it.
No paywalls between you and your people.
Need 4 at check-in per shift, not 12 “sometime”? Capacity lives on each shift, the way a paper sign-up sheet actually works.
The genius move is not paying for texts.
SignUpGenius® helped popularize the online sign-up sheet. Luau is built for the whole event — invitation, RSVP, roles, shifts, supplies, reminders, and day-of coordination in one place. Free.

Other tools people coordinate with.
A close SignUpGenius cousin: free sheets with ads, paid plans from $99.99/yr. Solid and familiar — but it stops at the sheet. No RSVP flow, no live day-of view, no relationship layer after the event.
Great for banter, rough on logistics. A chat thread has no slots, no quantities, no waitlist, and no reminders — “who’s bringing ice?” scrolls away by lunch. Keep the group chat; give the logistics a board.
Tools from an earlier internet that still technically work. If you just need a list of names in a table, they’ll do it. If you need people to actually show up — reminded, checked in, and thanked — that’s us.
