AI menu planning for personal chefs GLP-1 ready

Plan a client week in 10 minutes,
not two hours.

MenuCortex’s AI learns every household — rules, allergies, GLP‑1 needs, preferences — then drafts the week, builds the shopping list, and writes the kitchen sheet.

The demo runs entirely in your browser with fictional data — no account needed.

The draft

A draft, not a decision.

Every week starts as a sample — built from the client file, your library, and six weeks of history. You review, edit, approve. It never decides alone.

How it works

One workflow, end to end

Six stops. One screen. Nothing lives in your head or a sticky note anymore.

  1. 1

    Client households

    Allergies, hard rules, service counts, and per-member preferences — kept in one place, updated in plain English.

  2. 2

    Recipe library

    Your own recipes with components, scaling, and storage notes. The generator only picks from dishes you trust.

  3. 3

    Menu history

    Every past week, what was served, and what the client thought — so nothing repeats too soon.

  4. 4

    Draft in minutes

    AI drafts the week from your rules, library, and history. You review, edit, and approve — it never decides alone.

  5. 5

    Shopping list

    Ingredients consolidated across the week, grouped by department, with purchase quantities.

  6. 6

    Kitchen sheet

    A one-page prep guide per cooking day: counts, production order, checklists, and QC before pack-out.

Powered by AI

An AI sous‑chef on every week

Not a chatbot bolted on — the AI is the engine. It reads the client file, learns the history, and drafts like a cook who’s worked the household for years.

Reads the whole client file

Every rule, allergy, and preference — GLP‑1 needs included — is loaded before a single dish is drafted. Hard allergies are locked, not suggested.

Learns from every week

Past menus and client feedback shape each new draft, so nothing repeats too soon and favorites resurface at the right time.

Drafts from your library first

Your recipes, your style, your portions. New ideas are clearly labeled as new — never passed off as your own dishes.

Edits in plain English

“Make Thursday lighter” or “swap the salmon” — the AI revises single dishes in place. No regenerating the whole week to fix one plate.

“Make Thursday lighter”

Done — Thursday is now herb‑poached chicken, lemon broccolini. Rest of the week untouched.

GLP‑1 support

Clients on GLP‑1s? You’re covered.

More households are eating around GLP‑1 medications — smaller appetites, protein‑first plates, gentler foods. One tap adds the full support pack to a client file, and the AI plans every week around it automatically.

  • Smaller portions — plate half to two‑thirds, with seconds on standby instead of big first servings.

  • Protein‑forward every meal — protein first, then vegetables, then starch — anchored at every plate.

  • Easy on rich, fried & fatty foods — grilled, roasted, steamed; lighter sauces that sit well.

  • Gentle backup for low‑appetite days — a mild broth soup or plain protein with rice tucked into every week.

  • Hydration alongside meals — water‑friendly sides and soups; small sips, not big drinks at once.

Service accommodations for the chef — not medical advice. The client and their doctor own the medical side.

AI drafts. You decide. Math is math.

Allergies, exclusions, portions, unit conversions, and scaling are enforced by deterministic checks — never left to a language model. Every draft shows blocking errors and warnings, and nothing goes to a client without your approval.
