User Guide
In 4 simple steps, plan your family's meals.
Create family members
Add each household member from the Members tab. Give them a name and a color to easily spot them in the planning.
Tip: you can add or remove members at any time.
Build the meal catalog
Go to the Meals tab and create your dishes. For each meal, set:
- Prep speed: Fast, Medium, or Slow
- Time preference: Any, Lunch only, Dinner only, or Weekend only
- Category: Complete dish, Protein, or Side
Tip: for combos, add a protein and a side separately. The planner will combine them automatically.
Set each person's preferences
Under each meal, indicate whether each family member likes it or not. Green dot = likes, red dot = dislikes. Click to toggle.
Tradition mode: you can also lock a meal to a specific weekly slot (e.g. lasagna every Friday night). Click "Tradition" to set the day and time.
Tip: the planner will avoid proposing a meal nobody likes, but may use it as a last resort.
Generate the weekly plan
In the Planning tab, configure your week:
- Jokers: check the days when you'll eat out (business dinner, restaurant, pizza...)
- Default speed: set the global prep speed (Fast, Medium, or Slow). You can then override it per slot if needed.
- Present members: select who is home each day so the plan accounts for everyone's tastes
Click "Generate" to get an optimized plan. You can regenerate as many times as you want.
Slot by slot: after generating, click "Regenerate" on any slot to change just that meal without affecting the rest of the week.
Manual pick: use the "Change" button to select a meal yourself from all available dishes, filtered by compatibility (speed, time slot, member tastes). You can also build a protein + side combo.
Share: use the WhatsApp button to copy the plan and send it to your family.
Tip: validate the plan once you're happy with it to save it to history.
