Scan Your Receipt, Get Recipes
Point your camera at a supermarket receipt — get recipe ideas built from exactly what you already bought.
🧾 Receipt → recipe suggestions
This is a sample scanned receipt (tap ✕ to remove an item), then hit “Suggest recipes”.
Demo matches sample recipes against a sample receipt. A real app scans your actual receipt with OCR, then suggests dishes ranked by how many of your items they use.
Why people want it
You bought tomatoes, chicken thighs, rice, and a sad-looking onion — and tonight you’re staring at the fridge as if they don’t exist. A receipt-scan app solves the “I have food but no plan” problem by reading the receipt you already have and matching it against recipes you can actually cook with what you bought. No more searching “recipes with chicken” and finding nine ingredients you don’t own.
People want it because it saves money and sanity together. Food bought but not cooked is money thrown away, and the weekly waste guilt is real. When the app tells you “2 of the 3 ingredients for stuffed peppers are already in your bag — just add cheese,” dinner stops being a scavenger hunt. Couples and small households love that suggestions are specific to their haul, not generic “healthy dinner” filler lists.
The demo above ranks a small recipe library against a sample receipt by coverage — how many of the recipe’s ingredients you already have, and what’s missing. A real app would scan the whole bag of groceries and do the same math at supermarket scale.
