Cooklist is solving two of humanity's most common problems, “What’s for dinner?” and “What groceries should I buy?” Cooklist solves the first problem by showing users recipes that they can make with the groceries they already have. Cooklist developed the first app that connects directly to the stores a user shops at and automatically downloads all their purchases into a digital pantry in the app. (Think Mint.com for grocery stores). Their algorithms match each product to the ingredients from 1.3MM+ recipes online so users can see their pantry through the eyes of 50,000 chefs whose recipes are available on Cooklist. Cooklist solves the second problem by shifting the focus of grocery shopping away from choosing products and towards choosing recipes that users want to cook. Users can select recipes that they want to eat and Cooklist will automatically generate a shopping list of the items they are missing. Furthermore, Cooklist will allow users to send the cart to grocers like Walmart, Kroger or Amazon for pickup or delivery.
