The problem it solves

Planning meals for the week takes time, and it's easy to fall back on the same few dishes out of habit. Digging through a recipe collection to build a balanced, varied plan is tedious when you're busy running a business or a household. Without a system, meal planning gets skipped altogether.

Who it fits

A small catering or meal-prep business, or a busy household, that wants a varied weekly menu without manual planning.

How it works

  1. On a set day each week, the automation pulls a randomized list of recipes from your Tandoor database
  2. AI reviews the options and builds a weekly plan that avoids repeats
  3. It respects your time and exclusion preferences
  4. The finished plan is written directly into your Tandoor meal planner
What you get

Weekly menus nobody has to plan

You get a fresh, repeat-free weekly meal plan built from your own recipes and loaded straight into Tandoor.

What you get

A complete, repeat-free weekly meal plan already loaded into your Tandoor planner.

What you need

A Tandoor Recipes account and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
