## What is Kitchen Crew?

Tell Kitchen Crew what your family eats and what you can spend. Get a full week of dinners, a grocery list priced to your budget, and your whole cart filled at your store without leaving the app.

No more staring into the fridge at 6pm. No more surprise $200 grocery run.

PLAN A WEEK IN SECONDS
Choose your cuisines, servings, cooking time, and dietary needs. Kitchen Crew builds a complete weekly plan around them, with real recipes your household will actually eat.

KNOW THE COST BEFORE YOU SHOP
Every plan comes with an estimated total, priced per item. Set a weekly grocery budget and Kitchen Crew keeps you inside it. Over budget? One tap swaps in cheaper ingredients, trims the optional items, and rebuilds the plan until it fits.

YOUR LIST BECOMES YOUR CART
Connect your Kroger account and add every item to your real Kroger cart in a single tap, then check out without switching apps. Shopping at Walmart, Whole Foods, Albertsons, or Publix? Kitchen Crew walks you through your list one item at a time, pulling up each product at your store as you go. Want it delivered instead? Hand the whole list to Instacart for same-day.

A LIST THAT BUILDS ITSELF
Your grocery list is generated straight from your meal plan, grouped by category and priced per item, so you watch the total move as you add and remove things. Check items off as you shop, or take the list into the store on your phone.

SCAN YOUR PANTRY AND SPEND LESS
Photograph your shelves and Kitchen Crew identifies what you already own, then rewrites your plan to use it up. Less food waste, a shorter list, a smaller total.

BUILT FOR REAL HOUSEHOLDS
Vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, egg-free, soy-free, shellfish-free, halal, and kosher. Set it once and every plan respects it.

GUIDED COOKING
Follow each recipe step by step with a photo of what it should look like, so you're never guessing halfway through.

FREE TO START
Three meal plans and three pantry scans every month, free.

Kitchen Crew Premium unlocks unlimited meal plans, unlimited pantry scanning, weekly budget tracking, every grocery store, unlimited saved recipes, and guided cooking with photos. $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year, starting with a 7-day free trial.
