Plan the week's menu once, and everything else follows
Set the week's dishes for each plan once. Your customers see the menu on your ordering page, the cook sheet turns it into quantities, and the labels print it on every box.
Most kitchens plan the menu in one place and run the week in another. The menu is a WhatsApp image. The count is a spreadsheet. The labels are handwritten. When Tuesday's dish changes, three things need changing and one of them doesn't.
In Tiffinware the weekly menu is the start of everything. Change it once and your ordering page, the cook sheet and the labels all change with it.
Your dish library
Add each dish once, with how you measure it when you cook: rotis by count, dal and sabzi by weight, rice by the tray. The cook sheet then tells you "8 kg dal", not "64 servings".
A menu for each plan, a week at a time
Your veg plan and non-veg plan each have their own week. Plan next week while this week is cooking, without changing a thing your customers have already seen.
Need three rotis instead of four on Friday? Change the quantity for that one day. The dish stays the same.
Choices and add-ons
Many meal prep and tiffin kitchens let customers pick a carb or a protein. Set those choices once for the kitchen and use them on every plan. An upcharge is per meal: +$3 for fish on a 10-meal package is $30, and Tiffinware says so where you type the price.
Raise a price later and customers already on that choice keep the price they signed up at. Before you save, Tiffinware shows you who keeps the old price.
Customers see the menu
The week's menu shows on your ordering page, so customers stop asking "what's on Thursday?" in WhatsApp.
Learn from what sold
The menu report shows which dishes sold most and what each plan brought in. Plan next month's rotation from that, not from memory.

Questions
How do I plan a weekly tiffin menu?
Start from a rotation of dishes your kitchen does well, keep one or two dishes the same every day (dal, rice, rotis), change the main dish daily, and check the cost of each day. Our guide to planning a weekly tiffin menu walks through it with an example.
Can each meal plan have its own menu?
Yes. Your veg plan, non-veg plan and any other plan each have their own weekly menu, so you never keep two lists in your head.
Can customers choose what comes with their meal?
Yes. Set choices for the whole kitchen, like a carb (rice or roti) and a protein, with an extra price per meal for some options. A customer's price is kept when you change it later, and you see who keeps the old price before you save.
Is this a meal planning app for dietitians?
No. Tiffinware plans what your kitchen cooks and sells each week, then counts, labels and delivers it. Apps for dietitians plan one person's diet and calories.
