Why YesTable?
Picture this: You’re hosting a gathering - birthday party, potluck, dinner with friends - and you suddenly remember…
- Your cousin can’t do gluten
- Your best friend’s kid is allergic to peanuts
- Your neighbor has a dairy intolerance and needs a chair with arms
- And someone only eats food that’s “not looking at them”
Cue the group text chaos.
Or worse - cue the awkward moment when someone gets served the wrong thing. 😬
🍽️ Welcome to YesTable.
We make it easy to plan inclusive, stress-free gatherings . . . because great hosts make sure everyone has a seat (and a safe plate) at the table.
How YesTable Helps
YesTable is a clean, clever app that helps hosts collect, manage, and act on their guests’:
- Allergies & Sensitivities
- Dietary Preferences & Aversions
- Accessibility Needs
- Taste Profiles (for those “no cilantro” types 😉)
All in one beautiful, organized, swipe-friendly place.
Why We're Different
Unlike meal planners, RSVP tools, or generic survey apps, YesTable is built specifically for real-life gatherings. We're not guessing your macros or suggesting random recipes - we're helping humans gather safely, joyfully, and stylishly.
- Guest-first design: Each guest has a profile. Hosts can plan accordingly.
- Simple and scalable: From toddler playdates to corporate dinners.
- More than food: We support disability and access needs, too.
- Actually fun to use: Because let’s be real, this stuff usually isn’t. Get the allergies and accoms out of the way so you can par-tay with peace.
💡 Who It's For
- The Host: You love gathering people, but need a way to manage the details.
- The Guest: You’re tired of apologizing for your needs.
- The Parent: You just want your kid to eat something safely at the birthday party.
- The Planner: You believe in making events better for everyone.
No More:
- Guessing if the pasta salad has walnuts
- Sending awkward “what can you eat?” texts
- Making someone feel like the difficult guest
- Googling "what is a low-FODMAP appetizer?"
The Bottom Line
At YesTable, we believe no one should feel like an afterthought at a party. Whether you're allergic, vegan, picky, or just particular - you deserve a joyful “yes” when you RSVP.
So go ahead:
Pull up a chair.
Send your YES! to the host.
Hosting? Ask for the YES! so everybody enjoys.
It’s a YesTable. 🍽️
FROM Yes Table Founder
Hi, I’m Jenna Myers Karvunidis - attorney, writer, and founder of YesTable, a guest-first menu planning app designed to make hosting safer, easier, and way less stressful.
I’m also a mom of three, which means I’ve been to more birthday parties, school potlucks, and chaotic Friendsgivings than I can count. Over the years, I’ve watched (and lived!) the quiet panic of discovering surprise allergies right before serving dinner, or watching a guest quietly skip a meal because they weren’t comfortable asking about ingredients.
YesTable was born out of those moments - when hosts are doing their best, but are missing the right tools to truly care for their guests. I created YesTable so that no one has to guess, stress, or explain their food needs on the spot.
You might know me from my early days as a blogger (yes, I’m that gender reveal party mom), or from my work in law and advocacy. My career has always centered around empowering people—whether it’s in the courtroom, around the table, or inside the app.
I believe hospitality is an act of love, and everyone deserves a seat—and a say - at the table.
Jenna Karvunidis is a writer, advocate, and cultural commentator whose work has appeared in Vogue (US, UK, and India), The Guardian, NPR, BuzzFeed, and more. She is widely credited with hosting the first gender reveal party — and later, becoming one of its most vocal critics.
