Invite only. No public sign-up. No ads. Nothing sold, ever. Free for the ward. Works without the app — text or call instead.
How it works

Three taps, and dinner is on the calendar.

No group texts, no sign-up sheet going missing, no wondering whether anyone remembered.

Step one

Pick a night that's open

The schedule shows which evenings still need a family and which are already taken. Choose a day, pick the missionaries, done.

  • Open and taken nights at a glance
  • Elders or sisters, whoever needs feeding
  • Allergies and food notes right on the card
The schedule screen: a week of days to choose from, with upcoming Thursdays marked open or fully booked.
Step two

Say where and when

Your home, a restaurant, or somewhere else. Set the time, add a note if there's a gate code or a tricky driveway, and confirm.

  • Remembers your usual time and place
  • Household members can share one slot
  • Change or cancel any time, in a tap
Booking a meal: choosing the time and the place before confirming.
Step three

Everyone is told, automatically

The missionaries get the details the moment you book. You both get a reminder the day before. It syncs to your calendar if you want it to.

  • Texts to both sides, with the where and when
  • A nudge 24 hours ahead, so nothing slips
  • Add to your phone's calendar in one tap
A booked meal confirmed in the app.
No app? No problem.

It answers texts and phone calls too.

Not everyone wants another app on their phone, and they shouldn't have to. The whole thing works over plain text messages — and over a real phone call, with a voice that understands what you're asking for.

💬

Just text it

“Put us down for Thursday.” “What time is my meal?” “We need to cancel tonight.” It understands, does it, and confirms.

📞

Or call the ward line

For anyone happier on the phone. Same answers, same schedule, spoken aloud.

✉

Or use email

Weekly summaries and confirmations by email, if that's where you actually look.

For ward mission leaders

You stop being the schedule.

The job was never really about the clipboard. It was about making sure the missionaries eat — and then chasing everyone about it all week.

Set it up once

Add your missionaries and their numbers, share the ward code, and the ward takes it from there. You get a dashboard that tells you what still needs a family this week.

  • See uncovered nights before they become a problem
  • Book on behalf of anyone who asks you in person
  • A printable sign-up sheet, emailed as a PDF
  • A weekly summary, so you're never guessing
A member profile in the app, with household, address and food preferences.
Built carefully

Your ward's information stays your ward's.

🔒

Invite only

There is no public sign-up. A ward comes on because a leader invited it, and members join with a code shared at church.

🚫

Never sold, never ads

No advertising, no data brokers, no tracking you across other apps or sites. It is used to coordinate meals and nothing else.

🗑

Leave whenever

Delete your account in the app or by text. There's a 14-day grace period in case you change your mind, then it's gone for good.

🏠

One ward at a time

Members and leaders only ever see their own ward. Your address and phone number are not visible to other wards.

Questions

How do I get in?

Ask your ward mission leader for the ward access code — it looks like 220752‑4821. Open the app, enter the code, then sign in with your mobile number. There's no password to remember.

Do I have to install anything?

No. It runs in your browser, and you can add it to your home screen so it behaves like any other app. An iPhone version is in beta testing.

What if I don't want another app?

Then don't use one. Text the ward line and it will book, move or cancel your meal for you, and answer questions about the schedule. You can also just call.

Can my spouse and I share a slot?

Yes. Households are linked, so a meal one of you books shows up for both of you, and you won't accidentally double-book the same night.

What does it cost?

Nothing for the ward or its members.

Who can see my address?

The missionaries you've invited for that meal, and your ward's leaders. Nobody in another ward, and nobody outside the app.

The missionaries have to eat tonight.

Take one night. It takes about thirty seconds.

About our text messages

The section below is the full description of our SMS programme, kept here for members and for our messaging providers.

What this app does

Flagler Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Miami, FL hosts full-time missionaries who eat dinner with ward members most evenings. Coordinating who's feeding them on which night used to mean a clipboard, group texts, and a lot of forgotten meals.

This app replaces that with a simple sign-up board plus an AI text bot. Members open the app, pick an open slot, and they're signed up. From there, the AI takes over: it texts the missionaries the booking details, sends 24-hour reminders to both sides, handles cancellations and reschedules over text, and answers questions like “what time is my meal?” or “who's hosting tomorrow?” in plain English. Members and missionaries can text our toll-free number anytime — it always knows who they are and what they need.

Who can use it: ward members, their friends and household partners, and the missionaries themselves. Use is by invitation from the Ward Mission Leader; there's no public sign-up. The 4-digit ward code needed to register is shared verbally at church.

About our SMS text notifications

When a member signs up to feed the missionaries, several short transactional text messages keep everyone in the loop.

How members opt in to SMS

Phone numbers are only collected from members and missionaries who explicitly sign up on our web form. There is no third-party list, no public sign-up, no purchased numbers.

The opt-in workflow, step by step

  1. A Ward Mission Leader invites a member by sharing the app URL and a 4-digit ward code verbally at church.
  2. The member opens the app, enters the 4-digit ward code, and verifies their mobile number with a one-time code sent by text.
  3. On first sign-in, the app walks the member through a short profile setup: name, whether they host at home or a restaurant, address, and a photo so the missionaries recognise their host.
  4. On the phone step, directly under their number, the member sees this consent language:
SMS & voice consent: You consent to transactional texts and rare automated voice calls about meal scheduling. ~0–5 texts/week. Reply STOP to opt out. Msg & data rates may apply. See SMS & Voice Terms and Privacy Policy.
  1. The member saves their profile — this is the explicit opt-in. Automated voice calls are a separate checkbox on the same step, off by default for anyone who leaves it unticked.
  2. From then on, the member receives transactional texts only related to meals they themselves sign up to host (or that household members sign up to host).

Missionaries opt in through the same flow when the Ward Mission Leader adds them as a contact in the app's leader portal.

What the opt-in screen looks like

Below is a representation of the phone-number step of the sign-up wizard. The yellow box is the explicit SMS consent disclosure that appears directly under the phone field, before the member taps Continue.

Above: the phone-number step of the sign-up wizard. The consent disclosure sits directly under the phone field, before the member proceeds, and the same wording appears in the live app.

Other notifications

Members and missionaries also receive transactional email about the meals they're signed up for (booking confirmation, cancellation, weekly digest), and the Ward Mission Leader receives an FYI email when any meal is booked or cancelled. Email is optional; a verified mobile number is how members sign in, and texts are how the missionaries and members coordinate.
