Building your plan around what you already have ✓
"What's for dinner?" — 365 times a year.
Meal planning apps weren't built for your family. Here's why busy moms are exhausted.
🧠
Decision Fatigue Is Real
By 5PM you've made 200+ decisions. Adding "what to cook for 6 people" shouldn't be one of them.
🛒
Built for 2, Not 7
Every app scales to 4 servings. You need 7. Then you do mental math in the grocery aisle. Every. Single. Week.
🗑️
$1,500/yr in Wasted Food
You buy ingredients, forget what you have, and re-buy. The fridge fills with things that never become meals.
⏰
Planning Takes Too Long
Browsing Pinterest, building a list, checking the pantry — it shouldn't take 45 minutes to figure out dinner.
How PrepHero Works
From zero plan to full week in 4 minutes
1
Tell us about your family
Set your exact family size, dietary preferences, and how many nights you want to cook. One time setup.
2
Scan or tell us what you have
Snap a photo of your fridge or quickly enter what's already in your pantry. PrepHero builds around it.
3
Get your full week plan
Our proprietary family-focused algorithm generates a complete 7-day meal plan tailored to your family's size, tastes, and schedule in seconds.
4
Shop once, eat all week
Your Costco/Sam's-optimized list, sorted by store section. One trip. No mid-week emergency runs.
Why PrepHero
Built different. Built for big families.
🏡
Family-Focused Planning Engine
Not a recipe database. PrepHero's proprietary algorithm actually thinks — building personalized plans based on your family, budget, foods you avoid, and what's in your kitchen.
📏
True Family Scaling
Scale any recipe to exactly 5, 6, 7, or 9 servings with smart ingredient ratios — not just 2x math that ruins recipes.
🏪
Costco & Sam's Mode
Shopping list built for bulk buying. Quantities match warehouse sizes. Sorted by aisle so you move through the store in one pass.
📸
Fridge Photo Scan
Snap your fridge and PrepHero identifies what you have, reduces your shopping list, and cuts food waste automatically.
👨👩👧👦
Family Bundle
Share with your co-parent or partner. Both of you see the same plan, the same list — one source of truth for the household.
🔔
Weekly Plan Reminders
"Your meal plan for this week is ready" — every Sunday. Habit-forming without the effort. Dinner planning is finally off your mental list.
