  1. Set up your theme and branding.
    Customize your app's appearance to reflect your brand. This helps create a cohesive experience for your members.

  2. Create your recipe library (import or manually add).
    Start by adding recipes to your library. You can import them in bulk or add them one by one. If you use appliances like Thermomix, remember to use yield mode to express outputs as weight or volume instead of servings. Check out Yield-Based Recipes for more details.

  3. Set up nutrition display for your recipes.
    Configure how nutrition information is displayed for your recipes. This ensures your members see the relevant nutritional data. Learn more in Recipe Nutrition Settings.

  4. Create your first meal plan and assign recipes to days and meals.
    Organize your recipes into a meal plan by assigning them to specific days and meals. This helps your members follow a structured eating schedule. For guidance, see Meal Plan Nutrition.

  5. Configure shopping list settings and aisles.
    Set up how shopping lists are generated from your meal plans. This includes organizing ingredients by aisle to make shopping easier for your members. More information can be found in Shopping Lists.

  6. Set up access levels and a subscription offer.
    Define who can access your content and what subscription offers are available. This is crucial for monetizing your app effectively. Refer to Setting Up Access Levels for details.

  7. Customize the meal plan PDF template if you want downloadable plans.
    If you want your members to download their meal plans, customize the PDF template to suit your branding. See PDF Generation for Meal Plans for instructions.

  8. Configure member preferences like measurement system and dietary restrictions.
    Allow your members to set their preferences for measurement systems (metric or imperial) and dietary restrictions. This enhances their experience with your app. Check out Member Preferences for more information.

  9. Optionally enable wellness tracking for members.
    If you want to help your members track their wellness metrics, enable this feature. It allows them to log entries and share progress with you. Learn more in Wellness Tracking.

  10. Build your pages and go live.
    Use the Page Builder to create and customize the pages of your app. Once everything is set up, you can launch your app and start engaging with your members. For more details, see Using the Page Builder.
