How to use Plenishly

Short, plain guides for getting set up and getting dinner decided. Free to read, no account needed.

Start here

Five steps. Dinner first, setup after.

Setup and how-to guides

Get your first dinner answer in 60 seconds

Open Plenishly, say how many people you are feeding, and tonight's dinner shows up first. Setup can wait until after you have eaten.

Set up your household in five minutes

Add who is eating, what they avoid and your weekly food budget once. Every plan and list after that uses it, so you do not retype anything.

How to add allergies and foods to avoid

Add each person's allergies and exclusions once under Profile. Plenishly applies them to every plan, and you can still check labels yourself.

How to scan a grocery receipt

Take one photo of your receipt. Plenishly reads the store, the total and the items, then updates your budget and your pantry.

How to fill your pantry fast

Scan receipts, scan the pantry shelf with your camera, or add items by hand. Start with what expires first.
