Built by Real People
Who Cook Dinner
(almost) Every Night

We make dinner at home most nights. Not because it’s easy, but because it’s worth it.

Planned Pan started because we were spending hours every week figuring out what to cook, what to buy, and how to keep it all from getting repetitive. We were tired of the planning, not the cooking. So we built the solution we wanted for ourselves: weekly meal plans with real, balanced dinners and ready-to-use grocery lists. Designed by a registered dietitian and a lifelong home cook, it’s made for people who already cook but don’t want to do all the prep work. We help you skip the planning, shop once, and still get dinner on the table every night.
