  1. Set up your theme and branding.
    Customize your app's appearance to reflect your brand. Go to the Branding settings and upload your logo, select colors, and adjust fonts.

  2. Create your recipe library (import or manually add).
    Start by building a library of recipes. You can import existing recipes or add them manually. If you're using appliances like Thermomix, consider using yield mode to express outputs as weight or volume instead of servings. Learn more about this in Yield-Based Recipes.

  3. Set up nutrition display for your recipes.
    Ensure your recipes display the right nutrition information. Go to the Recipe Nutrition Settings to configure what nutrients to show.

  4. Create your first meal plan and assign recipes to days and meals.
    Organize your recipes into a meal plan. Use the Meal Plan Nutrition article to understand how to assign recipes to specific days and meals.

  5. Configure shopping list settings and aisles.
    Set up your shopping list preferences to ensure members can easily gather ingredients. Visit the Shopping Lists section to configure aisles and settings.

  6. Set up access levels and a subscription offer.
    Control what content your members can access by configuring access levels. Then, create a subscription offer to monetize your content. Check out Setting Up Access Levels and Creating Offers and Subscriptions for guidance.

  7. Customize the meal plan PDF template if you want downloadable plans.
    If you want your members to download meal plans, customize the PDF template. Refer to PDF Generation for Meal Plans for details on how to set this up.

  8. Configure member preferences like measurement system and dietary restrictions.
    Allow your members to set their preferences for measurement systems and dietary restrictions. This enhances their experience and ensures they receive relevant content. Learn more in Member Preferences.

  9. Optionally enable wellness tracking for members.
    If you want to track your members' wellness metrics, enable this feature. Check out Wellness Tracking for more information on how to set it up.

  10. Build your pages and go live.
