Usage

This plugin can be used to organize a so-called 'Kitchen Run' Event. People are organized in teams and each team has to prepare an appetizer, main course or a dessert. For the course they prepare, they are joined by 2 more teams and for the other courses, they join other teams. The plugin takes care of most organizational tasks. People can sign up during a defined period and then an algorithm creates the pairs.

Here a shortlist of all functions:

• create, edit, delete multiple events
• create, edit, delete multiple teams for each event
• teams can choose food preferences and course preferences
• add sign up form to your page through fancy gutenberg editor
• dynamic sign up form (opened and closed automatically)
• automatic registration mail after sign up
• special email settings for Kitchen Run Mail Service (email and mail name)
• automatic pairing of teams through an algorithm (old one: food preferences are still ignored)
• fancy tables to show events and teams
• not so fancy table to show pairs and change guest pairs from the same course

All functionalities are described in detail below.

Events

Events are necessary to start organizing a Kitchen Run Game. There is also the opportunity to create multiple events.

Create an Event

Go to the Kitchen Run Menu Point and visit the subpoint Events. Click on 'Add New' in the Header to visit the form to create a new Event. Form Elements:

Event Name: Just a name to organize multiple Events better. Can be everything

Opening Date: The Date when the Sign Up Form is activated and people can sign up to participate

Closing Date: The Date when the Sign Up Form is closed

Event Date: The Date when the Event takes place. It is used to generate a text for the sign up page.

Current Event: This marks an Event to be the 'current' Event. The current Event will be the one used in for the sign up form on the front end. That means if choosen the previous current Event won't be 'current' anymore.

Edit Events

Events can be edited when you hover over the 'Event Name' column and select 'edit' for the wanted Event. All fields from Create Event can be edited as well.

Delete Events

Events can be deleted when you hover over the 'Event Name' column and select 'delete' for the wanted Event. Then confirm the deletion. Be cautious, because it will also delete all teams and pairs linked to the Event!
