Plan the food. Pack the rest.
Enough for everyone.
Nothing forgotten.
Barbecue Planner turns your guest list, menu and appetite into a practical shopping plan — then helps you pack everything the day needs.
From guest count to shopping list
Plan portions around the food you will actually cook.
Choose the people, appetite, event length and menu. Barbecue Planner accounts for product-specific cooking loss, bones, sides and your reserve instead of relying on one rough grams-per-person rule.
What it does
The whole barbecue, calculated and packed.
Guests, appetite and time
Count adults and children, adjust appetite and event duration, and set a reserve from 0 to 30 percent.
Real cooking yields
Estimate raw shopping weight with product-specific satiety, cooking loss, bone and trim yields — including ten pork, beef and lamb rib cuts.
Meat, sides and mixed grill
Plan bone-in cuts and sides, get a vegetable recommendation, or use a balanced mixed grill split across meat, vegetables and mushrooms.
Private on-device planner
Ask Apple’s on-device model for planning ideas when available. A deterministic multilingual planner works without it and no remote AI service is used.
A packing list that remembers
Check off food, grill gear, serving items, comfort, safety and cleanup. Add your own items and keep progress locally on the device.
A plan ready to share
Share a localized plain-text shopping and packing plan through the iOS share sheet. Nothing is sent automatically.
A simple flow
Count. Choose. Pack.
Add your guests
Enter adults and children, then choose appetite, event length and a safety reserve.
Build the menu
Choose the products, rib cut, sides or mixed grill and review the suggested raw shopping amounts.
Shop and pack
Use the built-in checklist, add anything unique to your day and share the final plan when you want.
