Problem
Many households manage recipes, meal plans, grocery lists, and pantry inventories using separate tools or manual methods such as spreadsheets, which leads to duplicated effort, missed items, and uncoordinated cooking among family members or roommates.
Solution
Pico delivers a single web‑and‑mobile platform that consolidates recipe collection, meal planning, shopping, and pantry tracking. Users can import recipes from websites, social media, or handwritten notes and store them centrally. Meal plans can be built collaboratively and shared with other household members, keeping everyone aligned on upcoming meals. Grocery lists are generated from the plan, can be edited in real time by multiple users, and are marked off as items are purchased. After a shopping session, the system automatically updates the pantry inventory to reflect newly acquired ingredients, reducing the need for manual stock checks. All data sync across devices, providing a consistent view of the kitchen’s contents and upcoming meals.
Target Audience
Primary users are families, roommates, and small household groups who need a coordinated way to plan meals, shop together, and keep track of pantry supplies.
