Meal Planning Plan your week in one view. Your sous chef manages the plan, writes your grocery list, and tells you when it's time to shop. ## Meal plan * **Lay meals onto a calendar** — add recipes to the days you want them * **Managed for you** — let the Sous Chef build the week, or do it yourself ## Automated shopping list * **Writes itself** — generated from your plan, minus what's already on your shelf * **Only the gap** — never lists what you already have * **Shop alerts** — tells you when it's time to go shopping ## Why it's better * **End-to-end** — plan → list → shop, all in one flow * **No manual entry** — the list is built for you from the plan * **No nightly scramble** — the week is decided and the prep is mapped
