Thirty friends, one trip, nobody chasing anybody

Who's coming, who's cooking, who still owes for the house — on one page, instead of scrolled away in the chat.

No sign-up, no email. Free for your group.

How it works

Set up in an evening

Step 1
Start your trip

The friends template keeps it simple: jobs, arrival, pack-up. No jargon.

Step 2
Share one link

Everyone adds themselves — diets, arrival times, who's driving.

Step 3
Stop chasing

Jobs get claimed, meals get counted, the money adds itself up.

The trick

Say it once. It shows up everywhere.

Sam opens your trip link
Vegan
Arrives Friday night
Has two spare seats

Filled in once, by them.

Saturday dinner counts him

He grabs a washing-up job

His share of the house shows as owed

Who it's for

Built for groups like yours

A house or a chalet

Thirty of you, one week, one kitchen. Beds, meals, jobs, money — readable by all.

A camping trip

Who's driving, who has a spare tent, and how the cost splits at the end.

A birthday or a reunion

You're the organiser whether you volunteered or not. Hand this part to a tool.

The answer is in the group chat somewhere, three hundred messages up — and you're the only one who'll scroll.

One person holds the headcount, the allergies and who's paid — in their head. Put it on a page, and the questions stop.

Today The group chat, “Allergies again, everyone?”, Two payment apps, A shared note, Your memory all route through one person. With Burnbase, everyone reads and updates the same shared base.

What's inside

Only the parts a trip needs

Start from the friends template and the rest is switched off. Jobs, not shifts. Arrival and pack-up.

Who's coming

One list, filled in by them: diets, arrival, a phone number.

Meals & shopping

Who cooks what, recipes scaled to real numbers, one shopping list.

Jobs

Cooking, washing up, the shop run. People claim what suits them.

Money

What the trip costs, who's paid, and a pot anyone can chip into.

Before you go

Pay up, share your arrival, bring the thing you said you'd bring.

Ask everyone something

Bed picks, arrival times, song requests — one link.

What's on

The sauna at four, the walk on Sunday. Optional.

One view of the week

Days, meals, jobs and who still owes — in one place.

Lifts
Coming soon

Spare seats meet people who need one.

Creating and collaborating is the point.

The admin shouldn't be what people remember.

Why it's different

One page — not a spreadsheet, not a scroll

The whole trip on one page

Who's coming, meals, jobs and money — one page everyone can read, instead of five apps and your memory.

And it isn't a spreadsheet

Nobody loves the trip sheet, and the chat swallows answers. A calm page everyone updates themselves keeps it easy — and keeps it fun.

1
It's their job to fill it in

Everyone enters their own diet, arrival and number, once. You collect nothing and retype nothing.

2
Money without the awkwardness

What each person owes is just stated — nobody gets chased personally. It goes straight to whoever fronted the cost; Burnbase never holds it.

3
Overkill? It's three lists

Who's coming, who's cooking, who's paid. Built by people who feed forty strangers in a desert — trimmed down for a weekend.

What it costs

One number, no tiers

Free

The whole platform

Every module, everyone in your group. No tiers, no seat counts, no trial that runs out.

1%

When money moves through it

Added on top of what you asked for, shown before anyone pays. Your number stays your number.

0%

When it doesn't

Bank transfer, payment link, cash in a tin — record them for free and the books still balance.

Paying through Burnbase is optional. It's also the only thing that funds building it — so if it makes your group's life easier, using it is how you and your members support the platform.

Details on the pricing page.

Why now

The chat has already lost something.

An allergy, an arrival time, two people bringing the same speaker. One evening fixes it.

Where it's at

Usable today, honest about the rest

Every module above is built and running in the demo. Payments are the exception: the whole flow is there — fees, destinations, receipts — but no money moves yet. Next up includes importing your existing spreadsheet, so a group that runs on one today can switch in minutes rather than evenings.
