Dinner Hand

Help in the kitchen, without getting in the way.

The smart shopping list that fills itself from the dinners it helps you plan. Dinner Hand plans the week for your whole family, puts exactly what you need on the list, and learns what everyone likes.

The Plan screen: next week's dinners, with the week's agenda at the top.
The shopping list those dinners made, sorted by aisle, asking if you've still got honey.

Take the mental load off dinner.

What to have, who’s in, what’s in the cupboard, what to buy. It’s the invisible job that wears families down, every single day. Dinner Hand gives the whole family one plan to share, so dinner stops being one person’s problem and you can get on top of the week instead of chasing it.

How it works.

1

Tell it about the week.

Jot down what’s going on: who’s out late, who’s coming round, the night you fancy a takeaway. Add everyone you cook for once, with what they will and won’t eat, and Dinner Hand keeps it in mind.

Next week in Dinner Hand, with the agenda: Sarah out Tuesday, Grandma round Thursday.

It suggests dinners that fit.

Each night, pick from your family’s favourites, things you’re trying, or ask for something new that suits the night. It knows what you had recently, so you don’t end up with curry three nights running.

Choosing Friday's dinner: Something new, Leftovers, Takeaway or Eating out, then the family's regulars with their star ratings and when they were last had.

The shopping list writes itself.

One tap puts the week’s ingredients on the list, added up and in supermarket aisle order.

  • Asks before you buy something you probably have: “Still got honey?”
  • Spots what you buy every week and reminds you.
  • Shows who added what, so nothing’s bought twice.
The Shop screen: a question asking if you've still got honey, then the list sorted into fruit and veg, meat and fish.

It learns what your family likes.

Everyone rates dinners with a tap. The favourites rise to the top, the flops quietly drop off, and every week’s plan is a bit better than the last.

The Recipes screen: dishes sorted by rating, each with stars, when you last had it and its calories.

One plan, the whole family.

Everyone in the house sees the same week and the same list, on their own phone, updated the moment anyone changes it.

  • Invite your household with a code.
  • Tick things off in the shop; they disappear from everyone’s list.
  • Whoever’s cooking tonight knows what it is, without asking.
The Family screen: the Joneses, four people, two using the app, each with their likes and dislikes.
