To buy
Adding Products`
When you’ve signed up, you land in the To buy list of the Products app section. This is where you can add products to your shopping list by pressing the + button! You’ll see lots of products recommended already so you can click to add those also!
Moving Products to At home
Now you have your shopping list, you can swipe right on any product to move them to the At home list, which is your virtual kitchen. Cool!
Kitche also adds a reminder for the products you add to the At home screen so you remember what you’ve bought! We also categorise them and add an approximate price for each product. Magic!
Extra features if you long press on a product
If you have lots of products in the To buy list, you can long press for 1-2 secs on any product to bring up the ability to select all products or just some of them and either delete them from your list or move them to the At home list. Nice!
At home
Adding Products
At home is your virtual kitchen where you can track what you have at home and be reminded about products. You can add products to the To buy list by pressing the + button and either importing a shopping receipt by taking a photo of it or uploading it from your phone ‘Import receipt’ or you can add a list of products manually and you’ll see lots of products recommended already so you can click to add those, easy peasy!
You can also swipe right on any product to move them from the To buy list to the At home list.
When products are added to the At home screen, Kitche adds a reminder for the products so you remember what you’ve bought! We also categorise them and add an approximate price for each product. If a product is within 48 hours of it’s reminder date, you’ll see a little yellow clock next to the product. If it’s past the reminder date, you’ll see a little red clock next to the product. These are not use-by dates, but simply reminders set when you imported the products. You can edit the reminder dates by clicking on a product at any time.
As your list grows you’ll see there are 3 sections with the latest products at the top and then Last Week’s products below and Older products further down the list.
Moving Products in the At home list
Now you have your At home list, you can swipe right on any product to move them to the To buy list or swipe left, if you’ve thrown away any of that product to add them to the Tossed list, where you can track your food waste impact.
Extra features if you long press on a product
If you have lots of products in the At home list, you can long press for 1-2 secs on any product to bring up the ability to select all products or just some of them and either delete them from your list, add them to the To buy list or copy them to the top of the At home list, if you have a long list of products.
Tossed
if you’ve thrown away some or all of a product in the At home screen, you can swipe left to to add them to the Tossed list, where you track your food waste impact.
You can say how much of the product you’ve wasted with a neat scale of 1-100% so we can accurately measure your waste and the associated cost.
In the Tossed list you see what products you’ve wasted in the most recent week and past weeks, as well as the approximate associated cost. We hope this section of the app can help improve any food waste habits you have by learning what you throw away most often.
You’ll also receive an app notification every Monday morning to tell you your Tossed food summary for the previous week.
