"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".
The essentials, free forever. Premium free for 14 days, no credit card.

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.
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, every week goes like this.
Sundayover a coffee
The week puts itself together
Lunches and dinners, varied and complete, within your budget and your time. It starts from what's left in the fridge, and a dish that doesn't appeal changes with one tap.
At the shopa single trip
The list is already done
Everything added up and sorted by aisle, without what's already in your cupboards. One trip to the shop, nothing forgotten.
🥛 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 the day before.
Tuesday, 7 pmdinner time
You cook, without searching
The steps in large type, 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.
⏱ 08:00No 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.
Week 1- Mon.Savoyard gratin

Three weeks, fifteen evenings, not once the same Monday.
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.
Someone away on Tuesday, grandma over on Sunday: say so on the meal, and the quantities and the shopping list follow.
Twenty minutes on weekdays, two hours on Saturday: set both, and no more beef bourguignon on a Tuesday night.
Your 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.
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 the Recipes tab.
The community
Fresh ideas, from real kitchens.
In the Recipes tab, 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, or tasted it, can rate it.
Chloe's dish looks tempting? One "+", and it's in your week.
Send a recipe on WhatsApp, even to someone without the app.
Free, for everyone.
Nothing tempting? The recipe writes itself for you.
Say what you fancy. The magic wand writes a complete recipe, designed for your household, and you read it through before keeping it.
- ✦
Your constraints, built in. Allergies, foods nobody likes, diet: it already knows them, you don't have to repeat anything.
- ✦
With what you have. It starts from your fridge and your cupboard: a classic that suits them, or a new idea. The freezer stays shut, nothing to thaw.
- ✦
Or the recipe you already have. Paste it from a website, or tell it out loud like you would to a friend: it's written up with your quantities and your little secret.
20 recipes a month with Premium, plus 3 dish photos created for your recipes. During the 14-day trial, one recipe and one photo to try it out.

Examples written for this page. In the app, every recipe is written on request.
Your kitchen in photos. The list makes itself.
A few photos of the fridge, freezer and cupboards, and the list of what you have is ready. Your shopping no longer makes you buy it again.
- ✦
The whole kitchen, in one go. Up to four photos at once, a single list, sorted like your kitchen: fridge, freezer, cupboard. Frozen food gets its reminder the day before the meal.
- ✦
You have the final say. What the app recognises for sure arrives ticked, what it doubts is suggested with a dotted outline. Nothing goes into your pantry until you decide.
Your photos aren't kept: they're read, then forgotten. 30 photos a month for the whole household.
The whole family at the table. Baby too.
Dinner for you, baby food for them, and a single shopping list. One hour on Sunday, or one more pot each time you cook.
- ✦
Their stage, every month. Smooth, mashed, then small pieces: the home screen tells you what's coming and what still has to wait, following the guidance of the Geneva University Hospitals. It's free.
- ✦
Their pots, with your dinner. Tuesday evening's salmon becomes their Wednesday lunch pot, and the potatoes cook alongside theirs, with no salt. Same steamer, same shopping list.
- ✦
One session, not five recipes. All the carrots are peeled at once and steamed together. The app tells you when to add the chicken, then each pot's share.
Just their month of birth, no first name, no date. The stage of the month is free, baby food is part of Premium.

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? Write to us: we read everything, and we reply.

On your phone or your computer
Always in your pocket
On iPhone, Piano Piatto is on the App Store. On Android and on a computer, it opens in your browser and installs like a real app. One account everywhere: your week follows you from one screen to the next.
Android, iPad or computer: see how to install it
On iPhone, get the app from the App Store. It's free, and you sign in with your usual account: your week, your recipes and your shopping list are already there.
On iPad
The app is made for iPhone. On iPad, the web app uses the whole screen:
Open app.pianopiatto.com in Safari.
Tap the Share button at the top right, the square with the arrow pointing up.
Choose “Add to Home Screen”, then Add.
The app opens in Chrome and offers to install itself: you just have to confirm. If nothing appears, here are the steps by hand.
Open app.pianopiatto.com in Chrome.
Open the ⋮ menu at the top right and choose "Install app" (sometimes "Add to Home screen").
Confirm with Install.
Piano Piatto joins your app drawer like any other app.
Windows
With Chrome or Edge
Open app.pianopiatto.com.
To the right of the address bar, click the install icon (a screen with an arrow). In Edge, it's called "App available".
Click Install. Piano Piatto appears in the Start menu, and you can pin it to the taskbar.
Mac
With Safari
Open app.pianopiatto.com.
In the menu bar, choose File then "Add to Dock".
Click Add. The icon joins your Dock and the app opens in its own window.
With Chrome on a Mac, it's the same as on Windows.
The install icon may take a few seconds to appear: the browser waits until the app has loaded. Firefox can't install web apps: use Chrome, Edge or Safari.
