Our story and vision
Based in Salem, Oregon, WhatWeHave was founded to solve the daily dilemma of "what's for dinner" while putting an end to unnecessary kitchen food waste. We believe home cooking should feel effortless, resourceful, and fun.
Tackling kitchen waste with smart vision
Unlike traditional recipe platforms that force you to manually type out ingredients, WhatWeHave relies on instant photo recognition. Just snap a photo of your fridge, freezer, or pantry shelves, and our app instantly catalogs your food, uncovering hidden items before they spoil.
Inspiring everyday home chefs
We want everyone to walk into their kitchen feeling inspired rather than overwhelmed. By converting forgotten ingredients into delicious meals, step-by-step guides, and video tutorials, WhatWeHave helps you save money on groceries while gaining real confidence at the stove.
Smarter shopping and sustainable habits
Beyond recipe inspiration, our app highlights missing ingredients, identifies nearby store deals, and integrates personalized meal planning. Our mission is to make resourceful living practical for every household, one scanned shelf at a time.
"WhatWeHave completely transformed dinner prep for us. Taking a photo of our fridge turns random ingredients into an incredible meal while cutting our monthly grocery bill in half."
