The problem

Getting a game together shouldn't be this hard.

The group text spirals. Half the crew confirms, half goes silent, somebody's tracking it on a napkin. Then the scoring app forgets everything when you close it, and the spreadsheet nobody volunteered to maintain dies by week three. Your group deserves one place that handles all of it, and gets better after every session.

🧵

The group text

"Who's in?" "Maybe." "+1?" Eighteen messages later, you still don't know who's playing. Every. Single. Week.

📊

Spreadsheets and bracket apps

Someone has to maintain them. Nobody does. History disappears, brackets reset, and last month's standings are gone.

The Kitchen

Schedule a session, share the code, see who's in. Score live. Every game, every partner, every rivalry, remembered forever.

How it works

Up and running in under a minute.

No tournament wizard. No role configuration screens. Just pick a format and play.

1

Create your group

Sign up, name your crew, and get an 8-character invite code. You're the admin — it takes 30 seconds.

2

Invite your crew

Text the code. They tap it once. Everyone's in the same group. No accounts required to start scoring.

3

Start playing

Pick a format, hit Start Session, and score from any phone. History builds automatically, forever.

The solution

One app. Easy scheduling. Lasting history.

Easily create groups, invite players and schedule games.  Live scoring that syncs across everyone's phones. A leaderboard that updates in real time. History that never disappears.

Why The Kitchen

Built by players, for players.

Designed for casual recurring crews — not competitive leagues, not tournament directors, not DUPR rating chasers.

01

Private by default

No public leaderboards. No random strangers. No discovery feeds. Your group's data stays in your group.

02

Built for groups, not tournaments

No DUPR ratings, no tournament fees, no "configure a league season" just to play with friends on a Tuesday.

03

Court-side first

Designed to be used between games, not at the kitchen table after. Big targets, sunlight-readable contrast.

04

Persistent, not session-based

Other apps forget when you close them. The Kitchen remembers every session, every match, every partner — forever.

Who it's for

Sound like your crew?

The Kitchen is for groups of 4–24 who play together regularly, want easy scheduling and tracking — and care about the scores.

🌙

The Thursday Night Crew

Same courts, every week. You know each other's tendencies. Now you can finally prove who's actually been carrying the team.

☀️

The Retirement Community League

Mornings at the shoreline. Rotating partners. Years of history that nobody could track — until now.

🏢

The Office Lunch League

Doubles on Tuesday, singles on Friday. A leaderboard that actually lives past the group chat.

Common
questions.

Can't find an answer? Reach us at hello@runthekitchen.com

Is The Kitchen free?+

Yes — free to download and completely free during the launch period. Premium tiers are planned for future versions, but your first season is on us.

Is my group's data private?+

Completely. No public profiles, no ads, no data selling. Your group's history is visible only to your group members. Private by default, always.

What if someone doesn't have a smartphone?+

Any group member with the app can score on behalf of the whole session. Only one device is needed per court — everyone else can follow along on their own phone.

Does it work without Wi-Fi?+

Yes. The app handles network drops gracefully — no lost data when court WiFi gets flaky. Scores sync automatically when connection is restored.

When does it launch?+

We're in final testing. Sign up above and you'll be first to know — and first to claim your group name before anyone else gets it.

Can I be in multiple groups?+

Absolutely. Belong to as many crews as you play with — your weekend doubles group, the office league, the snowbird winter crew. Each group has its own private history.
