The product

A family application anyone can start using without an account.

Menu Maison lets people explore more than 9,000 recipes, build a menu for a selected period and household size, then continue into the calendar, grocery list, budget and pantry. An optional account keeps menus and favourites available across devices.

Context and challenge

Carry the same decision through the entire planning process.

Recipes, menus, calendars, shopping and what remains at home are often managed separately. The product needed to bring these tasks together without making family life more complicated, while staying readable on desktop and mobile.

Guiding idea

A decision made once should remain useful everywhere.

A selected recipe becomes a planned meal. The calendar structures the period, the grocery list gathers what is needed and the pantry helps track what is already available.

01 · Explore

Recipes

Search and filters by category, origin, dish type, difficulty, preparation time, style and preferences.

02 · Build

Menu

Period, household size, meal types, style, leftovers and exclusions guide the generator.

03 · Organize

Calendar

Meals can be viewed by day, week or month, then adjusted as needed.

04 · Manage

Groceries and inventory

The list, estimate and pantry carry the plan through to shopping.
