Sharing food & drink plans.

Whether you wish to collect basic dietary requirements or need guests to makes choices from a menu, Gather caters for all options.


Once event details are set, you can add Food & Drink options for guests to see.

From your dashboard, select the individual event and scroll down to the Food & Drink section to click Enable food options or Edit food.

To collect dietary requirements without sharing a menu, e.g. for a buffet…

  • Select No to ‘Would you like to create a menu for this event?’
  • Add an optional,  introductory note to guests explaining your plans.
  • Click Save.

Gather will collect dietary requirements from guests when they RSVP.

To offer menu options for guests to choose from…

  • Select Yes to ‘Would you like to create a menu for this event?’
  • Add an optional,  introductory note to guests explaining your plans.
  • Click Save.

Gather will collect dietary requirements from guests when they RSVP. Plus, you can now create your menu.

  • Click Add a course.
  • Name the course, e.g. Starter, and add your first dish, e.g. Burrata Salad.
  • Click Add another dish to add further options to this course.
  • Click Add children’s dish and this will only be shown to guests marked as a child.
  • When the course is complete, click Save.

Repeat this step for additional courses such as Main Course and Dessert.

To display a fixed menu without requesting guest choices, simply add one dish to each course. Guests will be presented with the menu and asked for dietary requirements, but not asked to make a selection.
