Inspiration

Ever since Covid-19 hit, our life style has changed dramatically. We go grocery shopping less frequently, we run out of meal ideas all the time, and in order to recover the stress brought by constantly hearing and reading news on Covid, we tend to overeat, especially when it comes to comfort food that increases risk in, but not limited to developing obesity and cardiovascular diseases.

What it does

Our web-app, **mypantry.space** helps users to adapt to a stress-free meal preparing process and food storage management.

It has 4 key features:

  1. Smart recipe generation recommends recipes based on what you have available in your fridge.
  2. Inventory management keeps track of what you have in storage,
  3. Receipt scanning automatically scans your grocery receipt so that there is no need to type in entries manually, and,
  4. Shopping list suggestion puts together a shopping list for your next grocery run based on recommended recipes.
