## What is Pan Mate?

Pan Mate turns recipes into plans, lists and meals your whole household shares. Snap a recipe from TikTok or Instagram, plan the week in minutes, and shop from one list that syncs in real time. Free to start.

PLAN YOUR WEEK IN MINUTES
- Add meals from your recipes or product search to a weekly or monthly planner
- Plan several days at once, then share the plan so everyone knows dinner
- Everyone cooks from the same plan, no group-chat archaeology

ONE SHOPPING LIST FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE
- Real-time sync: tick off items together, everyone sees it instantly
- Add by typing, searching or barcode scanning
- Staples keep your always-on essentials ready every trip

PANTRY THAT PAYS FOR ITSELF
- Track fridge, freezer and pantry in one place
- Leftovers and expiry reminders so good food gets eaten, not binned
- Barcode scanning adds products in seconds, with Nutri-Score, NOVA and Eco-Score badges

AI DOES THE BORING BITS
- Import recipes from any link: TikTok, Instagram, recipe sites
- Turn photos or pasted text into structured recipes
- Edit in plain words: "make it vegetarian" or "serves 4"
- Generate a shopping list from a meal description
- Items auto-categorised, ingredients renamed to Australian terms

RECIPES, YOUR WAY
- Import, create, edit and share
- Filter by tags, categories or dietary needs
- Share publicly or with household members only
- Nutrition info with AI-powered estimation

BUILT FOR AUSTRALIAN HOUSEHOLDS
