How a week works

1

Set your table once

Eight quick screens: who you're feeding, which meals to plan, allergies and dislikes, eating style, tastes, what your kitchen can handle, and your weekly or monthly grocery budget with a USDA guide to sanity-check it.

2

Get your week

Six dinners, Monday to Saturday, planned as a set under your cap with room for price drift. Every card carries a per-serving cost and an estimated calorie count. Sunday stays yours.

3

Shape it your way

Swipe a night to clear it, drag nights to swap them, add breakfast or lunch to any day, or ask the AI concierge in plain English: “Lighter Tuesday.” “Swap Friday for lasagna.” Every change is re-checked against your allergies and budget.

4

Shop and cook

One consolidated list grouped by aisle, with pantry staples already checked off. Then a step-by-step cook mode with built-in timers, per-step quantities, and a sous-chef when you're out of something.

Built around the number on your fridge

Whether the week is $75 for a family of four or $300 with a dinner party on Saturday, the menu is planned to fit, and neither experience feels degraded.

Budget engine

A budget that actually holds

Your grocery budget is a hard constraint, not a suggestion. Set it weekly or monthly, compare it to the USDA Thrifty-to-Liberal food plans, and re-plan a single week under a different cap without touching your profile.

Health tab

Nutrition for every person at the table

Per-serving nutrition on every recipe, computed from USDA FoodData Central. The Health tab shows calories, macros, vitamins and minerals for each household member, and you can set a target on any nutrient that future menus will honor.

Placeset Plus

A menu that tailors itself to you

Tap “Ask for anything” and describe the week you want. The concierge proposes a change, you approve it or ask for another take, and “Remember this every week” turns any request into a standing instruction.

Steps + timers

Cook mode that keeps up

One step per screen, the exact quantities for that step, concurrent kitchen timers, and step photos on community recipes. Out of an ingredient mid-recipe? Ask the sous-chef for a swap grounded in the recipe you're cooking.

Budget dashboard

Know what dinner really cost

The Budget tab tracks committed spend, planned versus actual, cost per dinner, where the money goes by aisle, and four weeks of history. Scan a receipt to true-up the week and help prices near you get sharper.

Families

One menu for the whole family

Create a family of up to four people with a six-letter invite code. Everyone sees the same weekly menu and shopping list, and can check items off as they shop. The admin plans the week and edits household settings.

Placeset Plus

Occasions, when you want them

Describe the dinner party and the concierge designs an original multi-course menu with a full recipe for each course, guest scaling, a run-of-show, and a shopping list kept outside your weekly cap.

Placeset Plus

Cook from what you have

Tell Pantry-to-Plate what's in your kitchen and it finds dinners built around those ingredients, then drops the one you pick onto a night this week.

Community
