About MealsPad

MealsPad is a US recipe planning and kitchen inventory app in the food, leisure and entertainment space.

The challenge

Planning meals around what’s already in the kitchen is hard for most households, and it often ends in food waste or repetitive last-minute choices. MealsPad wanted to connect recipe planning directly to kitchen inventory.

That needed intelligence, not just recipe browsing: suggestions based on what a household actually has, and a whole week planned automatically rather than one recipe at a time. It also meant a mobile and web app in the major app stores, backed by a system that matches inventory to recipes.

What Assystant did

We built the full application with Node, React, React Native and Firebase, published it on the App Store and Play Store, and developed a small language model for recipe suggestions and weekly meal plans.

  • The complete recipe and inventory management app
  • Release on both major mobile app stores
  • A small language model that suggests recipes from available inventory
  • Automatic weekly meal planning from the ingredients on hand

Linking inventory data to recipe suggestions gives users a smarter, less wasteful way to plan meals around what they already have.
