Meal planning, minus the spreadsheet

Know what's for dinner before you're hungry.

Platefull builds a week of meals around what you like, what's in your fridge, and how much time you actually have — then writes the grocery list for you.

Why Platefull

Less deciding. More eating.

The average household spends 40 minutes a week just figuring out what to cook. We'd rather you spent it at the table.

🧠

Plans that learn you

Rate meals with a tap. Platefull picks up on what you repeat, what you skip, and which nights are always chaos.

🧾

One list, every store

Ingredients are combined, de-duplicated and sorted by aisle. Already have cumin? Swipe it off and we'll remember.

🥬

Use what you've got

Tell us what's in the fridge and we'll build the week around it. Households cut food waste by an average of 31%.

👨‍👩‍👧

Everyone gets a say

Share the plan with your household. Picky eaters can veto, partners can swap nights, nobody has to text "what's for dinner?"

🔁

Leftovers, on purpose

Cook once, eat twice. Platefull schedules intentional leftovers and double-batches so Thursday takes 5 minutes.

🥦

Diets without the drama

Vegetarian, gluten-free, low-FODMAP, nut-free — set it once per person and every plan respects it automatically.

How it works

Three minutes on Sunday.
Dinner sorted till Saturday.

No recipe scrolling. No abandoned lists. Just a plan you'll actually follow.

01

Tell us about your week

How many dinners, who's eating, which nights are rushed. Takes about as long as reading this sentence.

02

Get a plan, tweak it

Platefull drafts the week. Don't like Tuesday? Shake it and get another. Lock in the ones you love.

03

Shop once, cook easy

Grab the list (or send it to delivery). Each night, open the app and follow a step-by-step that fits your timing.

"We actually eat the vegetables now."

I've tried four meal planning apps. This is the first one that noticed I never cook on Wednesdays and just... stopped suggesting it.

The "use it up" list alone paid for the subscription. I used to throw out a bag of spinach every single week. Every week!

My partner is vegetarian, I'm not, and our kid eats beige. Platefull somehow finds dinners all three of us will eat. Witchcraft.

Questions

Fair things to ask.

No. Tell Platefull how many dinners you want — two, five, whatever — and it fills only those. Nights off and takeout are part of a real plan, so we treat them that way.

Yes, on the Chef's Table plan. Paste any recipe URL or type one in, and it becomes a first-class option that the planner can schedule and shop for.

Welcome. Set your skill to "Just starting" and you'll get recipes with fewer steps, fewer pans, and clearer instructions. The app also won't schedule two hard meals back to back.

Your list can be sent to most major delivery services in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. You can also just use it as a checklist in the store — it's sorted by aisle.

Of course. Cancel from settings in two taps. Your plans and lists stay readable on the free tier, nothing is held hostage.

Your first week is on us.

Enter your email and we'll send you a link to plan this week's dinners. No card, no commitment, no spam.

Free plan includes 3 dinners/week. Upgrade any time.
