Sunday night: five nights of "what's for dinner?" still ahead of you, and the fridge has no answers. Plateful ends that. Plan your week once, shop once, cook once โ€” and have dinner ready for days. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tell us your week Household size, lunch, dinner or both, 3, 5 or 7 days, what you like, what to avoid โ€” allergies included โ€” and how long you actually want to spend cooking. 2. Get your plan Plateful builds a full week of meals designed to share ingredients and steps, so nothing goes to waste and nothing is cooked twice. 3. One shopping list, already sorted Every ingredient from every meal, combined into a single consolidated list. No recipe-by-recipe shopping, no duplicates, no forgotten items. 4. One cooking session Batch Cook Mode walks you through the whole week in the right order โ€” shared prep first, built-in timers, one dish moving to the next while another finishes. Cook once; the week is done. 5. Meals ready when you need them Storage and reheating guidance for every dish, so what you cooked stays good to eat later in the week. Then next week, you plan again. BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY EAT Your first complete week is free โ€” a full plan, a full shopping list, a full batch-cooking session, no card required to try it. After that, Plateful Premium keeps the weekly planning going: Monthly or Yearly, auto-renewing, cancel anytime in Settings. See Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for full details. Plateful is not a calorie tracker, a pantry scanner, or a recipe database to scroll through. It is one job, done well: turn your week into one plan, one list, and one cooking session. Stop deciding every night. Batch cook once โ€” eat well all week. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
