WFD for house-shares
Housemates who cook together, without the group-chat chaos.
What's For Dinner?! (WFD) is a swipe-to-match dinner-decision and meal-planning app for couples, families and households: everyone swipes on meals, you match on one you both want, matches build your weekly plan, and the plan builds your shopping list. Available on iPhone and Android.
Everyone swipes, the house matches, and the food shop stops living in a message thread.
The flat group chat is not a meal plan
Cooking together is the cheapest, most social way to run a house-share — and the hardest to organise. Someone suggests a meal into the group chat, two people react, one ignores it, nobody buys the ingredients, and by Thursday everyone’s eating separate toast. The admin always lands on the same organised housemate, and they’re getting tired.
What’s For Dinner?! (WFD) gives the house one table: everyone swipes on meals, matches become the shared plan, and a single shopping list follows the plan for the whole house. The organised housemate retires undefeated.
How it works for a house-share
Set up the house table
Add your housemates. Everyone who eats together gets a swipe — no accounts of accounts, no spreadsheet.
Swipe on what the house could eat
Love it or skip it, each on your own phone. Honest answers beat polite group-chat silence.
Matches become the house plan
When housemates love the same meal, it's a match and it goes on the shared plan — cook-together nights, decided without a committee.
One list for the shared shop
The shopping list is built from the plan and adapts when the plan changes, so whoever's at the shop buys what the house will actually cook.
