Plan cafeteria meals and internal events from employee input in Confluence

Context and Challenge

At an IT services company, employees use Confluence to provide information needed for everyday internal planning. For cafeteria planning, employees indicate which meal they plan to choose.

The person responsible then needs to turn all individual responses into a clear answer: how many portions of each meal should be ordered. The same approach is used for internal events, where employee responses help determine who is attending and how many participants to expect.

Result

Instead of collecting responses in a separate tool or counting them manually, the whole workflow stays in Confluence.

Employees enter their choices, and the person responsible can filter and aggregate the responses to get the numbers needed for ordering meals or planning event attendance.

How it is built

  1. Employees enter their responses in a Confluence table.
  2. Table Filter is used to organize, filter, and aggregate the entries so the responsible person can see the totals needed for planning.
