## What is UseUp?

Stop throwing away food. Start cooking with what you already have.

Use Up turns your fridge, freezer, and pantry into a personal recipe engine. Tell it what's on hand, and it generates real, cookable recipes built around your ingredients.

WHY USE UP

Most households throw away hundreds of dollars in food every year, usually because nobody knew what to make before it went bad. Use Up puts your actual ingredients at the center of every recipe suggestion, so nothing sits forgotten until it spoils.

CORE FEATURES

AI Recipe Generation — Get recipe ideas built specifically from what's in your pantry, accounting for your dietary preferences, restrictions, and allergies.

Photo Scanning — Point your camera at a package or ingredients and Use Up identifies it and adds it to your pantry in seconds. No typing, no guesswork.

Snap Chef — Gather your items, snap a pic and UseUp will generate a recipe using those ingredients

Expiration Tracking — Snap a photo of a "best by" date and Use Up reads it automatically, so you always know what's about to expire.

Personalized Onboarding — A short set of questions about your dietary needs, cooking skill, and goals means recipes are tailored to you from day one.

Ingredient History & Autocomplete — Use Up learns your recurring ingredients and suggests them as you type.

Recipe Sharing — Share full recipes — ingredients, steps, timing, and macros — with anyone, whether or not they use the app.

Safety-Minded Suggestions — Use Up flags unrealistic cook times for meat and fish, so you're never guessing whether something's actually safe to eat.


BUILT FOR REAL LIFE

Use Up isn't a recipe database you scroll through hoping something matches your fridge. It's built around ingredients you already bought, so you spend less on takeout, throw away less food, and stop wondering "what's for dinner" every night.

WHO IT'S FOR

People tired of throwing away wilted produce and expired leftovers
Home cooks who want dinner ideas without a grocery run
Anyone eating healthier without extra meal-planning effort
Budget-conscious cooks making the most of every ingredient
