The Briefing

Before
we begin.

This is not another group chat. It’s where the plan, the bookings, the money and the memories stay together.This is where the chat becomes a trip.

01.

The Situation

The group chat is for opinions.

Flights here, villa link there, someone’s sending deposits, someone’s asking “have we paid?” and someone’s screenshot is buried 47 messages deep.

It’s not a plan. It’s a mess.

02.

The Arrangement

Everything in one place.

Flights, stays, reminders, money, receipts, and all the trip media — together. One private place for the whole group, so nothing gets lost and everyone stays in the loop.

03.

Why This Exists

Somebody always ends up in charge.

It’s usually the same friend. She becomes the organiser, the accountant, the reminder service and the keeper of the plan.

This makes it easier for her — and better for everyone else.

Let’s get it.

You know what this is. More importantly, you know why you’re here.
