Daily Shopping List
Tomorrow's exact ingredient quantities, derived from the forecast and your recipes — not 'roughly the same as last week'.
What it does
Daily Shopping List in plain English
Forkcast walks tomorrow's forecast through your recipe data to compute exact ingredient quantities. The output is what to buy, with a rationale for each line. The single biggest lever for cutting the 20–30% industry-typical food waste.
Examples
What you actually see
'Chicken — skip extra, 4 days of stock already (Shravan starts in 4 days, demand drops 45%).'
'Paneer +2kg vs last week — veg orders up 30% this week, Ekadashi tomorrow.'
'Onion 18kg, mandi median ₹26/kg — your usual vendor is at ₹38, source from Mahatma Phule market today.'
Inputs
What powers it
- Tomorrow's forecast
- Recipe data (quantities per dish)
- Live mandi prices for sourcing recommendations
FAQ
Daily Shopping List FAQ
Does it handle perishable buffer stock?
