Let's add your newly cooked menus, or menus served for you! Each menu in the "List" page has a chart that shows how many times and when you used the menu. By using "List Period" or "Served Times" filter conditions, it easily shows the menus that you haven't cooked recently. By using "Search Words" filter, it can show a list of menus that you can cook with what you have in your refrigerator. In "Communication" page, you can send candidate menus of today's dinner to your family members, and you can receive a chosen menu from them. In "Public" page, owners of restaurants or individuals can show their menus to the application users. Without login, the application users can see the public menu lists. Tutorial videos are available from Help in the application.
