This is a private tool for one office, and the operator's
postal address and email address are
not published here. If you need to reach Malte about this site,
ask anyone in the building — or write to whoever sent you the link.
What this site is
A lunch rota. One office takes it in turns to bring things in on a
Friday, and this keeps the list, finds a dish that fits what turned up, and
says who is doing the washing up. There is nothing to buy, no account to
make and no advertising on any page of it.
It is not a company, a shop, or a service anybody is paying for. If that
changes, this page changes with it.
What it stores about you
The short, honest version
Everything here is typed in by the people using it. There is no sign-in,
no tracking, no analytics and no cookies set by this site.
Your name and what you're bringing, for as long as the round
runs. When the pot is closed it goes into the record of that Friday
along with who cooked and who cleared up.
Anything you put on the dietary list — a name and what you
can't eat. This one is worth thinking about before you type it, because
an allergy is health information and everybody in the office can read
the page.
Which jobs you claimed, and which of the missing ingredients
you said you'd carry in.
How you rated a past dish. Your name is stored with the vote,
but the site never shows anybody who voted which way — the page you and
your colleagues see has counts on it and nothing else.
Your name in this browser, in local storage, so you don't have
to type it every time. It never leaves your device except as part of the
things above, and clearing your browser data removes it.
Your email address — but only if you ask for the letters. This
is the one thing here that identifies you outside the building, so it is
handled differently from everything above. See below.
The letters
The site can write to you when the lunch week moves on — four times in a
week at most: the list opening, the two dishes to vote on, the dish once
it is picked, and a note on the morning we cook. It is entirely optional
and the site works identically without it.
Nothing is sent until you confirm the address from the address
itself. Typing one into the form gets you exactly one letter — the
one asking. If the link in it is never pressed, the address is deleted
within a week and nothing is ever sent to it again. That is also what
stops somebody putting your address in for you.
What is stored is the address, the name you gave with it (so a
letter can say what you're down for), and the dates you asked and
confirmed. Nothing else, and it is used for nothing else — no
newsletter, nothing forwarded to anybody, no advertising.
Every letter has a one-press way out at the bottom, and in the
headers your mail client reads. Pressing it deletes the row
rather than marking it — there is no record kept of having left.
No page ever shows the list. Not the front page, not the admin
dashboard, which is given two numbers: how many people are on it and
how many have not confirmed yet.
The address is held by the site and by the mail provider that carries
the letters, and goes nowhere else. It is never part of anything
sent to Anthropic.
Recipes are found by sending the list of ingredients to Anthropic's
Claude API. Names and addresses are not part of what is sent.
Want something taken out? Ask, and it comes out — of the current
round and of the record. There's no form for it because there are about
twenty of us and asking is faster.
Liability
For content
The recipes on this site are generated by a language model and are not
checked by anybody before they go up. Read them with the same suspicion
you'd apply to a recipe from a stranger — particularly around
allergens, raw ingredients and cooking times. The dietary list on the
front page is a note between colleagues, not a guarantee about what is in
the pot.
For links
Where this site links somewhere else, the content there is that operator's
responsibility. Nothing unlawful was apparent when the link was added, and
there's no ongoing check of pages that aren't this one.
