Everything you need

Less deciding. More eating.

Whether you cook for one or feed a crowd, Platefull takes the guesswork out of the week.

Drag-and-drop weekly planner

Pick from thousands of recipes or add your own family favorites. Drop them onto any day and your week fills itself in.

Smart grocery list

Every ingredient from every meal, combined, de-duplicated and sorted by aisle. Tick things off as you shop.

Cook from what you have

Tell Platefull what's in your fridge and pantry. It suggests meals that use it up before it goes bad.

Auto-plan in one tap

Short on time? Let Platefull build a balanced week around your tastes, budget and schedule. Swap anything you like.

Share with your household

Everyone sees the plan and the list. Partners, roommates and kids can vote on meals and claim a cooking night.

Prep reminders

"Take the chicken out of the freezer." "Soak the beans tonight." Little nudges so dinner actually happens on time.

How it works

Three steps to a calmer week

No spreadsheets, no sticky notes on the fridge.

1

Tell us how you eat

How many people, any allergies or dislikes, how much time you've got on weeknights. Takes about a minute.

2

Fill your week

Drag meals in, let Platefull auto-plan, or mix both. Leftovers and takeout nights are first-class citizens.

3

Shop once, cook easy

Your grocery list is ready instantly. Shop it yourself or send it to your favorite delivery service.

    People who used to wing it

    ★★★★★

    "I used to go to the store three times a week and still have nothing for dinner. Now it's one trip on Sunday and I actually use what I buy. My compost bin is lonely."

    Marisol T.Cooks for two, Austin
    ★★★★★

    "The shared list is the killer feature. My partner picks up what's missing on the way home without a single text. Our grocery bill is down about forty bucks a week."

    ★★★★★

    "I'm not a 'meal prep' person and I never will be. But dragging five dinners onto a calendar? That I can do. Auto-plan handles the nights I can't be bothered."

    Questions

    Frequently asked

    Do I need to be a good cook to use Platefull?
    Not at all. Most of our recipes are 30 minutes or less with clear step-by-step instructions. If you can follow a recipe, you can use Platefull. And if you want to plan a week of "pasta, tacos, leftovers, takeout," that's a perfectly valid week.
    Can I add my own recipes?
    Yes. Type them in, snap a photo of a recipe card, or paste a link from any recipe website and we'll import the ingredients and steps. Free accounts can add 20 recipes; Plus and Household are unlimited.
    Does it work with dietary restrictions?
    Platefull supports vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, halal, kosher and low-FODMAP filters, plus custom "never show me" ingredients. Household plans let each person set their own.
    Which grocery delivery services can I send my list to?
    Plus and Household subscribers can send lists to Instacart, Amazon Fresh, Walmart, Kroger and Tesco, with more arriving regularly. You can also share the list as plain text to anyone.
    Is there a web version?
    Yes. Your plan syncs between the iOS app, Android app and the web app at app.platefull.com, so you can plan on a laptop and shop with your phone.
    Can I cancel anytime?
    Of course. Cancel from inside the app and you'll drop back to the Free plan at the end of your billing period. Your recipes and plans stay put.

    Your next week of dinners is five minutes away.
