Bring list and costs for the grill
Hand out sides. Shop once. Settle up.
Three salads and no charcoal? Meat, sides and drinks on one list – whoever fronts the shop adds it under Costs.

Good weather, friends said yes, the grill’s set up. Then the classics: three bowls of potato salad, nobody has charcoal, there’s nothing vegetarian, and someone “already” bought meat for everybody without writing it down anywhere. The receipt ends up in a photo album.
PlanLos! turns gut feeling into a bring list. Who’s on the meat, who’s on salad, who’s on bread and sauces – all visible. To-dos for “clean the grill”, “get the garden chairs out” and “warn the neighbors”. Costs for whoever fronted the big shop.
Balcony, allotment or lakeshore: once more than four people are grilling, a shared list pays off. Otherwise the planning drifts back into the chat – and sinks there.
Copy the ideas into your group and cross out what you don’t need – better planned once too often.
Sausages, veggie burgers, skewers, halloumi – pin down amounts and who’s buying.
Salads, bread, dips, corn, onions – so it’s not all “somebody’s bringing it”.
Beer, wine, water, soft drinks, ice cubes – and who brings the cooler packs.
Charcoal, firelighters, check the gas, tongs, foil – the things you only miss when it’s too late.
Plates, cutlery, cups, bin bags, paper towels – often underestimated.
Whoever fronted the meat or the drinks crate adds it under Costs.
Create the group, invite people, jot down where you’re grilling.
Add all the classics – guests take items instead of writing “bring something”.
Check the grill, seating, a plan B for rain – jobs for whoever’s on site.
Add the big shops, check the balances, pay each other back – the coals can keep glowing.
Lea brings potato salad, Ben a baguette and herb butter, Cem halloumi and veggie skewers. Under To-dos there’s “charcoal and firelighters” – Paul takes it and pays €14.50 at the gas station. Sara buys the meat for €48. Both amounts land under Costs, and at the end you know who sends what to whom.
It sits there as an open item until somebody takes it – long before you’re standing at a cold grill.
Give it its own bring item and the gap is obvious days ahead.
Whoever already has “salad” on their name is visible before the second one gets made.
A cost entry, a fair payback – and nobody has to chase anyone.
As a rule of thumb, about 250 grams of meat or fish per person. With plenty of sides, less is fine. Plan vegetarian options too, like halloumi or veggie skewers. In PlanLos! you put the amount right into the entry, like “bratwurst, 20”.
Bring is for what somebody shows up with ready to go – salads, bread, sauces. To-dos is for what still has to be bought or prepared, like charcoal, firelighters or “garden chairs out”. That way it’s clear what’s already covered and what’s still open.
Add the expense only for the people who eat it. The meat shop then runs over seven people instead of ten, while salad and drinks apply to everyone.
No. The invite link is enough: type a name, take an item, done. Only whoever creates the group needs an account – and that works fine on the spur of the moment on grill afternoon.
Start for free, share the bring list, don’t forget the charcoal – before the mayo shows up three times.
