No.01  /  Why Hotline

The cooking app that brings it all
to the table.

Finding a recipe, knowing what's in the fridge, planning the week, buying the groceries, and telling your friends what you made used to be five apps and a group chat. Hotline is one app. Everything below is in it.

Hotline is that friend. Give us a download and start acting superior to your friends.

No.05  /  Meet the sous-chef

Hi, I'm
Friday.

Good taste. Zero judgment. I know what's in your pantry, what you cooked Tuesday, what's wilting in the crisper, and which store has chicken thighs on sale this week.

Tell me you're tired. Tell me to make it cheaper. Tell me your kid won't eat anything green. Dinner keeps up. I talk like a friend, not a chatbot, and yes, I have opinions.

Step 01 / Snap

Open the fridge.
Snap a photo.

Hotline reads everything in the picture, including the half-onion in foil and the jar you can't identify. No typing. No "do you have garlic." Just point and shoot.

Step 02 / Cook

25 minutes.

Friday matches what you have against 6,000 recipes and tells you how many items you're shy. Zero shy means dinner is already in the house. You just didn't know it.

The rest goes
to your store.

Whatever you're missing lands in your H-E-B, Kroger, Whole Foods or Instacart cart with real prices, in one tap. Delivery or shop it yourself. No middleman markup, no meal-kit box.

Work
my
budget

You set the number. Friday plans the week around what's already in the kitchen, prices it at your store, and stays under.

The average household throws out about $243 of groceries a month and spends $329 on takeout. Work My Budget only has to find $1.15 a week to pay for itself. It usually finds a lot more than that.

No.09  /  The questions

You're going
to ask.

Is this another meal kit?

No. Hotline is your existing grocery store, your existing pantry, your existing week. We connect them. No boxes show up at your door.

What does Friday actually do?

Friday is the AI you talk to inside the app. She reads your pantry photos, your planner and your grocery accounts, and answers like a friend. She'll suggest a recipe, plan a week, build a cart, and tell you when you keep buying the same kale.

Which grocers do you support?

H-E-B, Whole Foods, Kroger and the Kroger family, Publix, Amazon Fresh, Instacart, and 40 more. Sign in once and your cart syncs to whichever you pick.

What does it cost?

The app is free. Work My Budget is $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year, and you get one full run of it on the house before you decide.

Will my pantry photo train an AI?

No. Photos are used to read your pantry and nothing else. Never sold, never used to train outside models. The details are on the privacy page.

What if I just want to scroll food?

FoodScroll is the whole front page of the app. Open it, tap the heart, never cart a thing. We're not the pushy type.
