GameDay Dinner: team dinner orders & payments in one link.

GameDay Dinner is a team dinner ordering tool for team meal coordinators: you text one link, and each family orders and pays for its own player's dinner. Parents pay you directly by Venmo, Cash App, Zelle or cash. You see who ordered and who paid, and send the order to the restaurant.

No more chasing screenshots, Venmo notes, and "wait, what did I order?"

GameDay Dinner on a phone: the team parent's Player Orders list, each player's dinner order and amount marked Confirmed and Paid
Who ordered and who paid, on one list.

See one dinner, start to finish

75 seconds, no sound. Set up, send the link, parents order and pay, you confirm and send it to the restaurant.

Right now, team dinner probably looks like this

  • A group chat asking for orders, and a pile of replies, half of them "same as last time."
  • Messenger threads with the families who aren't in the group chat.
  • Venmo requests one family at a time, then scrolling notes to see who paid.
  • An Excel sheet at 10pm to total it all up and text the restaurant.

It works. It's also four apps and your whole evening. The real problem is that the order and the payment live in different places. GameDay Dinner puts the meal, the pay button and the who-paid list behind one link.

How it works

  1. 1

    Set up your team

    Name your team and add your Venmo, Cash App or Zelle. About a minute.

  2. 2

    Pick the menu, text one link

    Choose a restaurant template or type the menu, then send the order link to your team group text.

  3. 3

    Parents order and pay you

    They pick their player's meal and tap to pay you. You confirm payments and send the order to the restaurant.

One real season, start to finish

Last spring our baseball team ran every team dinner through GameDay Dinner.

  • 16

    team dinners

  • 306

    meal orders

  • 21 of 21

    players ordered

  • $3,541

    in orders, paid straight to the team parent

Before that, our team coordinator ran team dinner the way most team parents do: group chat, Messenger and an Excel sheet. I watched every week of chasing orders and payments, so I built something better. I still answer every email myself.
