The Context
Everyone has been in the situation where there is food is in their house, but they can't figure out how to make it into something for dinner. Nor do they want to, nor can they afford to keep ordering takeout. Recipiece is the solution to this problem. This imaginary app takes an inventory of your pantry, refrigerator and kitchen ingredients. And within mere seconds, the algorithm gives your meal ideas. Only have an onion, half an avocado, a can of mushroom soup and that crusty little end piece from the last loaf of bread? No problem. Here's how to turn that into a four course dinner! The app even integrates with your social media accounts so you convince friends and family that you're a master chef. Recipiece proves there's never nothing for dinner anymore. Tell me you wouldn't pay three dollars for that app? It's leverage waiting to happen.
