Private household meal planning

Make the dinner plan together. Keep the final choice with the family.

FamilyTable helps two parents plan weekday dinners, compare recipes with household preferences and pantry items, and prepare a grocery list for review.

The household application currently runs privately. This public site explains what it does and how its Google access is used; it is not a public sign-up or shopping service.

01 / PLAN

Use what you already have

Saved food preferences, pantry items, recent meals, and a time limit help shape dinner suggestions. Parents can inspect complete ingredients and cooking instructions.

02 / APPROVE

Two people decide

Each parent can approve a dinner or request a replacement. The grocery list is prepared only after the plan receives both parents’ approval.

03 / REVIEW

Keep the cart under your control

The approved list can be emailed as a handoff for cart preparation. FamilyTable does not place a Walmart order or check out on anyone’s behalf.

Why Google access is requested

Gmail sends the approved handoff.

With the account owner’s consent, FamilyTable uses Google’s gmail.send permission to send a test email or a versioned grocery handoff from the connected Gmail account to the family’s chosen address. It also checks the account’s email address during connection so the correct sender is authorized.

FamilyTable does not request permission to read inbox messages. Gmail sending can be disconnected by revoking access in the Google Account. Read the full privacy policy.
