Everything between “what's for dinner?” and dinner
Plateful covers the whole loop — collecting recipes, planning the week, writing the list, and filling the cart — so the only part left is the part you actually enjoy.
A recipe library that builds itself
Four ways in, one clean format out — every recipe structured, scannable, and ready to plan with.
URL import
Paste a link from any recipe site. Plateful reads the page and pulls out a structured recipe, whether or not the site plays nice.
PDF & cookbook import
Upload a scan or export and let OCR plus a careful reading turn it into ingredients, steps, and timing you can edit.
Describe it in your words
“I brown ground turkey with onions and garlic…” becomes a complete written recipe — quantities, steps, servings, and all.
Allergen & diet detection
Gluten, dairy, nuts, soy, shellfish, eggs, sesame — flagged automatically from the ingredients, with manual override.
Serving scaling
Cooking for two or for twelve — change the serving count and every quantity scales with it.
Search, tags & filters
Full-text search across titles, ingredients, and tags. Filter by cook time, cuisine, diet, or what's in season.
Plans shaped like your actual week
Not a generic seven-day template — a plan tuned to your schedule, your budget, and everyone at your table.
One-tap generation
Pick your meal slots and preferences, tap once, and get a full week. Re-roll everything or a single slot.
Lock & swap
Pin the meals you're excited about, regenerate around them, or swap any slot for a suggestion or a library favorite.
Recurring meals
Taco Tuesday and Pizza Friday are institutions. Set them once and every plan honors them.
Time-aware scheduling
Tag busy nights as quick-meals-only and save project cooking for the weekend. The plan follows your calendar's rhythm.
Budget & nutrition targets
Set a weekly grocery budget and calorie or macro goals — the planner optimizes across the whole week, not one meal at a time.
Leftovers & less waste
Big-batch dinners get scheduled as tomorrow's lunch, and recipes are picked to share ingredients so nothing wilts in the back of the fridge.
From confirmed plan to finished list, instantly
The tedious part of meal planning — writing the list — stops existing.
Smart aggregation
Three recipes calling for onions become one line item with the right total. Duplicates never sneak through.
Unit normalization
2 tbsp here, ¼ cup there — combined into one sensible quantity in units you'd actually buy.
Pantry awareness
Keep a simple pantry inventory and items you already own are skipped or flagged instead of bought twice.
60-second staples review
Milk, eggs, coffee, paper towels — flip through your staples once a week. Plateful learns each item's cadence and surfaces what's due.
Sorted for your store
Teach Plateful your store's aisle order once and every list matches the way you walk it. Multiple stores, multiple layouts.
Shared & shareable
The whole household sees one live list, and you can share it by link with anyone — no account needed.
Your Whole Foods cart, filled while you watch
The bridge between a grocery list and an actual cart — running safely in your own browser.
Semantic matching
Each ingredient is searched and scored against real products — considering brand, organic preference, package size, and price.
Remembers your brands
Pick Organic Valley whole milk once and that's what lands in your cart every time after.
You stay in control
Uncertain matches pause and show the top three options. Unmatched items go on a clear review list — nothing is silently dropped.
Your session, your data
Everything happens client-side in your logged-in Amazon session. Plateful servers never touch your Amazon account.
One kitchen, many eaters
Meal planning is a team sport. Plateful keeps the whole household on the same page — literally.
Household linking
Invite your people into one household with a shared meal plan and a shared grocery list that stays in sync.
Per-person dietary profiles
Each member's allergens and diets are respected in every generated plan — all of them, at the same time.
Kid & guest profiles
Add simplified profiles for kids and regulars without separate logins, and keep meals kid-friendly when it counts.
