"What's for dinner tonight?"It's already sorted.
5 minutes on Sunday. A week of good food. And never the same thing.
Piano Piatto plans your lunches and dinners from more than 800 dishes, your own recipes included, and makes the shopping list in your household's quantities. In the evening, all that's left is to cook. And to hear "this is so good".

TO DO TODAY
A head start on the meals coming up.
You know the scene
Tuesday, 7:05 pm.
Everyone's hungry, nobody has an idea, and it's always the same person who ends up deciding.
What's for dinner tonight?
Dunno. You?
Whatever you want.
7:40 pm. Nobody chose. Pizza delivery, again.
What's for dinner tonight?
Blanquette. The meat has been defrosting since yesterday.
I'll start, will you set the table?
7:08 pm. The answer was ready since Sunday.
One decision on Sunday, in peace.
Seven evenings when nobody has to think about it.
No more same old menu
Every week, something new to look forward to.
Monday, a gratin browning in the oven. Wednesday, a pad thai filling the kitchen with its aroma. Friday, the paella you'd never have dared make on a weeknight. Last week's dishes make way, and the ones your household loves come back more often.

How it works
Five minutes on Sunday. The rest of the week, you cook.
You set up your household once: who eats, what you don't like, the time you have. After that, here's what your weeks look like.
Sundayover a coffee
The week puts itself together
Lunches and dinners, varied, within your budget and your time. Courgettes and cream left in the fridge? The week starts from there, so nothing goes to waste. A dish doesn't appeal? One tap, and another takes its place. And what never changes, the morning porridge or a seasonal fruit as a snack, comes back on its own.
✦ Nothing tempting? The magic wand writes it for youAt the shopa single trip
The list is already done
All the ingredients added up and sorted by aisle, with an estimated price. What you already have in your cupboards isn't on it. No beef on the shelf? Replace it with chicken from the list: the recipe follows. Prefer smaller shops? Plan two, three or four days at a time: each list only covers its own days.
🥛 DAIRY
🥕 FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
Monday eveningthe day before, not too late
It remembers what everyone forgets
The meat to take out of the freezer, the dough that needs to rise, the chickpeas to soak. The app reminds you at the right time, the day before or an hour ahead. Then the recipe is cooked in two phases: the dough first, the cooking at mealtime.
Tuesday, 7 pmdinner time
You cook, without searching
Cooking mode shows the steps in large print, one at a time, and the screen stays on. The quantities are already those of your table.
Add the cream and let it thicken over a low heat.
⏱ 08:00Your own cooking
Your grandmother's lasagne has its place in your week.
Your go-to dishes no longer stay in a sauce-stained notebook. You write them once, and they live alongside the rest: in the plan, in the shopping, in cooking mode.
"Create a recipe": the ingredients, the steps, your photo. Once, for good.
Placed in your week like the others. Quantities follow your table, and the ingredients join the shopping list.
You choose who sees them: just you, your friends, or everyone in Discover.

The community
Fresh ideas, from real kitchens.
In Discover, the dishes other people really cook, with reviews from those who made them. And from your friends, what they're eating this week, right on the home screen.
Reviews that count: only people who have cooked the dish can rate it. A rating, a few words, "Kids loved it".
Chloe's dish looks tempting? One "+", and it's in your week.
Publish your own, and read what the people who cooked them think.
A heart to keep what you like. Your favourites come back more often in your weeks.
Send a recipe on WhatsApp, even to someone without the app. It opens in their browser, and cooking mode guides them step by step.
A bell so you miss nothing: Marco changed Wednesday's dinner, Léa cooked your focaccia, Sara finished the shopping. It's all in Activity.
Free, for everyone.
Made for your household
Your table's quantities, not a recipe book's
A six-year-old doesn't eat like a teenager. You say who's at the table, the app does the maths, and you stop throwing away half the dish.
Allergies and disliked foods left out automatically. They never come back.
Twenty minutes on weekdays, two hours on Saturday: set both, and no more beef bourguignon on a Tuesday night.
A review that says what to change: the dinner you always skip, the fish that's missing, the budget that's creeping up. And the button that fixes it.

We started Piano Piatto for a very simple reason: every evening around 7 pm, the same question, and nobody wanted to answer it. Now, at our place, we decide on Sunday. The rest of the week, we cook.
Piano Piatto is made in Switzerland. A question, an idea, a dish you miss? A real person reads every message, and replies.
