Meal Planning Overview
Understand how dinner planning works in Dinnerbord and how it connects to your grocery list.
Dinnerbord's meal planning is built around a simple weekly calendar. Each week your household suggests and agrees on dinners, and the agreed dinners become your grocery list.
How it works
- Recipes: build a library of the dinners your household already makes.
- Week Plan: members suggest a dinner for each day and +1 the suggestions they want. When everyone has +1'd the same dinner, that day locks.
- Grocery: press Regenerate to build the shopping list from the week's locked dinners.
Planning together
Every member of your household can view the week plan, make suggestions and +1 other people's. A day locks automatically once every member has backed the same suggestion.
Organizers can also verify a suggestion, which locks the day straight away regardless of +1s. That's useful when someone hasn't weighed in yet.
