# Run a neighbourhood dinner — registration page example

> Bringing together your street, your block of flats or your community for a shared dinner? Here is how to handle signups, table count and cancellations in minutes — without a spreadsheet.

## Typical scenario

Sophie runs a neighbourhood dinner on her Rennes street every summer. Before: a Google Form, a paper sheet passed at the local butcher for stragglers, and always 5 to 10 extra people on the day. With JustOneEvent, she publishes the signup page, shares the link in the street's WhatsApp group, and capacity locks automatically at 80 seats. Registrants receive a QR code by email — she scans them at arrival to hand out the wristbands provided by the city.

## 3 tips to nail your neighbourhood dinner

- **Cap capacity at the real headcount** — Tables, borrowed chairs, street footprint: do the maths before the urge. The waitlist then kicks in and auto-releases cancellations.
- **'Dish brought' custom field on the form** — Add a custom field 'Dish brought' (single choice: Starter / Main / Dessert / Drinks) to your registration form. The breakdown shows up at a glance in the participants table — no more 6 starters and zero dessert.
- **QR code = no queue** — Scan arrivals at the door to track attendance live. You see at a glance who has arrived and who is still missing.
