How to use groups for recurring orders

A group is a named set of people you order with repeatedly: a team, a floor, a family. Sharing a menu with the group shares it with everyone in it, and anyone added later inherits what has already been shared. This guide covers creating one, filling it, and keeping it tidy.

Create the group

Open Members, then Friend groups, and create a group with a name people will recognise — "Design team", "Third floor". A short description helps when someone belongs to several.

You own the group you create. Only you can rename it, invite into it, remove people, or delete it, and that ownership never transfers by sharing.

Add people

Invite friends into the group from the group card. Anyone already on your friend list can be added directly, which is the usual route for a team you order with every week.

For people who are not on your friend list yet, create a group invite link and send it. Whoever opens it within 24 hours joins the group directly — no friend request first, no approval from you for each person.

That link is the fastest way to fill a new group. Create it once, paste it into the team chat, and everyone who wants in is in, without you handling a queue of requests.

Share menus with the group

Share a menu with the group and everyone in it can use it immediately. This is the part that saves the most repetition: one action instead of one invitation per person.

Someone added to the group afterwards sees the menus already shared with that group. A new colleague joining in March does not need the invitations sent in January to be sent again.

Keeping it current

Remove someone from the group and their access through it ends. Access you granted them individually — a menu shared with them directly — is separate and stays until you revoke it too.

Members can leave a group themselves. Deleting a group removes it for everyone, but it does not delete the menus that were shared through it or any round already completed.

Work with groups

Can I search for a group and join it?
Not by name. Groups are joined through an invite link from the owner, so a group cannot be found and entered by someone the owner never invited.
Does everyone in a group see everyone else?
Members can see who else is in the group — that is what makes it a group. They do not become friends automatically, and their email addresses are not exposed by membership alone.
What happens to a shared menu if I delete the group?
The menu itself is untouched; it belongs to whoever created it. Access granted through the group ends, so share it again directly or through another group if people still need it.
