What's inside

Three original files in one download. Yours to keep.

The calculator

A single HTML file that runs in any browser, offline. Five planners: beverages, budget, serving sequence, cellar worksheet, shopping checklist. Your plan saves on your device.

The spreadsheet

The same five planners as a polished workbook with live formulas — for people who think in cells.

The guide

Every assumption stated plainly, plus a fully worked 6-guest example you can check by hand.

How it works

Set your assumptions.
Guests, glasses per guest, total budget, arrival time — your judgments, your numbers.
Everything recalculates.
Bottles to buy, dollars per category, the evening's timeline, and what you still need from the store.
Print the checklist.
Tick items off as you shop. Done.

Honest limitations

Quantities are purchasing estimates from your assumptions — not advice on consumption, and not medical advice.
No live prices or store stock. It plans quantities; you shop them.
It can't know your guests' tastes or your kitchen. It organizes your inputs; it doesn't replace judgment.
Fixed edition dated 2026-10-03. No lifetime updates promised for a one-time C$10 payment.

Independence disclosure. Mise en Place is an independent product by an independent maker. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any restaurant, retailer, booking platform, or beverage brand. All guidance is original.

Questions

What exactly do I download?

A ZIP with three files: toolkit.html (the interactive planner), planner.xlsx (the spreadsheet), and guide.html (the assumptions guide). Open the HTML files in any modern browser — no internet needed after download.

Is this a subscription?

No. C$10 once. The edition is fixed and dated; there is nothing to renew.

How do I get the files after paying?

Our storefront delivers them instantly: a download page right after checkout, plus an email receipt with a download link for later.

Is the drinks math telling me how much to serve?

No. You set the per-guest assumptions; the tool does the arithmetic for purchasing. Nothing here is advice on consumption or health.
