Gatherings

Your guest list,
linked to your food.

Create an event, invite your guests, and track RSVPs in real time. As confirmations come in, your catering order adjusts automatically — so nobody orders for 80 when 52 are actually coming.

How it works

From invite to confirmed headcount
in five steps.

📅
01

Create your gathering

Name your event, set the date and venue, add a description. Takes about 60 seconds. You can link a catering order now or add one later.

👥
02

Build your guest list

Add guests by name, email, and phone. Import from your contacts or paste a list. ASKZO generates a personalized invitation for each guest automatically.

✉️
03

Send invitations

Each guest gets a unique RSVP link by email or SMS. They tap one button — Going, Maybe, or Can't make it. No account required on their end.

📊
04

Watch RSVPs flow in

Your dashboard updates in real time. Confirmed, declined, maybe, pending — you see the live count at a glance. You can message guests who haven't responded.

🍽️
05

Food order adjusts automatically

As confirmed RSVPs accumulate, the linked catering order updates its tray quantities. The restaurant sees the real confirmed count before they start prep — not your initial estimate.

The key insight

Catering estimates are usually wrong.
Gatherings fixes that.

Most event hosts give a caterer their best guess — "probably around 70 people." The restaurant preps for 70. 54 show up. Food gets wasted. Or 82 come and there's not enough.

Gatherings replaces the guess with a live confirmed count. The restaurant sees that number right up until the cutoff window. ASKZO recalculates tray quantities each time it changes.
