Problem

Busy couples often want to cook at home, but:

  • They forget what's already in the pantry

  • Grocery lists are made last-minute

  • Meal planning feels mentally heavy after work

This leads to:

  • Overbuying ingredients

  • Wasted groceries

  • More takeout and less healthy eating

Solution Concept

A camera-based pantry scanner that:

  1. Recognizes ingredients

  2. Suggests meal options based on dietary preferences

  3. Generates a shopping list for missing items

  4. Lets users one-tap add to cart (e.g., Instacart / Whole Foods)
