Questions
What people ask first.
Is Tablekit really free for small pantries?
Yes. Under 500 families a month, it's free for good. Grants from the Pell Fund cover it.
Do guests need to create an account?
No. Guests give a first name and household size, same as at Common Table.
Does it work on old laptops and tablets?
It runs in any browser from the last five years, and on phones.
Can we get our data out?
Any time, in one click, as a spreadsheet.
