Our Story
After retiring from technology management in 2014, Alvin began spending more time in the kitchen cooking for his family; however, he found himself spending inefficient time in the kitchen.
There had to be a better way than sifting through loose-leaf recipes in a binder and hand-writing a grocery list after finally deciding on the right meal plan for the week. But there wasn’t. So rather than wait for a solution, Alvin began developing one.
Where We’re At and Where We’re Headed
Over 5 years later and ourmealplan has grown in size with the entire family now helping to move the business forward. With a growing list of features, ourmealplan is now capable of storing recipes, assisting in meal plan creation, and automatically generating a grocery list.
Now that the essential features have been implemented, the next 5 years will be committed to the details of truly optimizing our user experience.
