Host Notes

Write the evening down before it becomes a story.

The most useful hosting knowledge appears after everyone leaves: which chair blocked the kitchen, which plate vanished first, which guest needed a task, which light made the room look tired, and which small gesture people mentioned at the door. Rorami’s host notes are designed to catch those observations while they are still practical.

The arrival line

Could guests understand where to pause and where to place coats, bags, or bottles without asking?

The conversation map

Which seats made people visible to one another, and which place at the table became stranded?

The serving pressure

Did any dish require too many instructions, too much last-minute heat, or too much host absence?

The final signal

What told people they were welcome to linger, and what accidentally told them to leave?
