Free Printable Potluck Sign-Up Sheet — Quotas by Category PDF

Without quotas, every potluck is 14 cookies and one chili

Suggested # of dishes column is the trick — sign-ups self-balance when the quota is visible to whoever signs up next.

Setup / cleanup help rows force the ask people are too polite to make verbally — the dishes get done because the row exists.

Different from a food-pantry inventory or a grocery list: this is the community-coordination sheet, not a household one.
