UnBizzy
Join the waitlist

Set up your household

The first time you open UnBizzy, tap Get started and answer a short run of questions about your household: weeknight time, busy nights, what you won't eat, your kitchen, your stores, who's at the table and any allergies. Most are one tap, and you can change every answer later.

Steps

  1. Open UnBizzy and tap Get started. (You make your account at the end, not now.)
  2. Read the welcome and tap Let's go.
  3. Answer the questions. Here's what UnBizzy asks, in order:
    • Weeknight time. How long you've got at the stove: 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Oven and wait time doesn't count.
    • Your current week. What eats into your evenings (practice or games, lessons, late at work, evening meetings), and which nights. Those nights get faster dinners.
    • How much cooking you want to do.
    • What's off the table. Ingredients nobody will eat, and how you eat (vegetarian, for example).
    • What you already make. Tap the dinners you already cook, and add up to three of your own.
    • Trying new things. How often you try a new dinner now, and how often you'd like to.
    • Your kitchen. Slow cooker, air fryer, grill: anything beyond a stove and an oven.
    • A grocery ballpark. Roughly what you spend in a week.
    • Where and when you shop. Your stores, the day of the big shop, and the day you like to plan.
    • Who's at the table. Everyone you cook for, including you.
    • Food allergies. If you tap Yes, we work around allergies, two more screens ask which ones and how you handle each. If you tap No allergies here, you skip past them.
    • Breakfast and lunch. Who eats breakfast at home and whose lunch comes from home. Tap Skip for now if dinner's all you need.
  4. Check the summary, Here's what I'll plan from., and tap Looks right.
  5. Then create your account. See Create your account.

Who's at the table

  • Add each person with an age band (Under 2, 2-5 years, 6-12 years, 13-17 years or Adult) and a nickname. "Kid 1" is fine.
  • UnBizzy asks for nicknames on purpose. It never asks for last names or birth years.
  • You can add a birthday if you like: month and day only. UnBizzy never stores a year.
  • Tap This is me on your own row.

Good to know

  • A few questions are required: weeknight time, budget, who's at the table and the allergy question. You can skip the rest and fill them in later.
  • Setup doesn't plan your first week for you. That happens next, so you can shape it.

Change it later

  • Tap the gear icon on Home to open Settings.
  • Preferences Center: who you cook for, food preferences, dislikes, cooking time, nights that need less time, budget, breakfast and lunch, kitchen equipment, and your shop and planning days.
  • Your Current Week: the nights that are busy.
  • Store Preferences: your stores.
  • Allergies: your household's allergies and how you handle each.
  • The Hive, at the top of Settings, shows everything UnBizzy plans from in one place. Tap Edit on any card to change it.
