AutoPilot DinnerSign in

For households that feed a crowd

Stop deciding what's for dinner

One setup. Then every week you get seven dinners your family will actually eat, kid versions included, and a single aisle-sorted grocery list.

How it works

Step 1

Tell us the house once

Adults, kids, favorite foods, hard no's, allergies, and the nights that are already handled.

Step 2

Get the week decided

Five weeknights, a weekend meal, and a backup for the night that falls apart. Swap any of them.

Step 3

Shop it in one trip

Every ingredient rolled up and sorted by aisle for your warehouse club run.

Step 4

It learns the picky ones

Mark who ate it and who refused. Next week's plan bends around the truth.

Not a diet app — a dinner app

Calorie and macro planners solve one person's nutrition. This solves a household's nightly argument.

Everyone has a profile

Favorites, dislikes, allergies, and whether they need a kid version — tracked per person, editable any time as tastes change.

Tweaks, not exclusions

One person hating onions shouldn't ban onions. You get a plate-level instruction instead of a stripped-down meal.

Your week has a rhythm

Pizza Friday, takeout Wednesday, grandma on Sunday. Mark them handled and the planner works around them.

Common questions

What does AutoPilot Dinner actually do?
You describe your household once — who's eating, what they love, what they refuse, allergies, and which nights are already handled. Every week it produces a full set of dinners with kid versions where they're needed, per-person plate tweaks, and one aisle-sorted grocery list.
How is this different from a diet or macro meal planner?
Most meal planners are nutrition tools built for one person chasing a calorie or macro target. AutoPilot Dinner is built for a household deciding one meal a night. It optimizes for 'everyone at this table will actually eat this,' not for hitting a protein number.
Can it handle a family where everyone likes different things?
That's the whole point. Every person gets their own profile with favorites, dislikes, and restrictions. When preferences conflict, the plan suggests a plate-level adjustment — sauce on the side, onions pulled from one portion — instead of stripping the ingredient from the entire meal.
What if I don't cook the meal that was planned?
Mark it as not made. The meal returns to rotation rather than being treated as something your family rejected, so a sick kid or a missing ingredient doesn't quietly delete a dinner everyone likes.
Does it handle allergies and dietary restrictions?
Yes. Allergies and restrictions are enforced across every meal and every kid version, and the restricted ingredients never appear in the grocery list. Preferences are handled separately, since a dislike is negotiable and an allergy isn't.
Can I skip nights we already have covered?
Yes. Mark pizza Friday, takeout night, or leftovers as already handled and the planner leaves those slots alone instead of filling them with a recipe you'll ignore.
Do I have to use the meals it suggests?
No. Swap any single night without regenerating the week, browse the built-in cookbook of classic American dinners, or add a recipe from your own library to a specific day.
Is my family's data private?
Every profile, plan, rating, and grocery list is tied to your account and visible only to you. Nothing is shared between households.
