Kiamiko scales every recipe to your headcount, checks what you already have, and builds one exact shopping list.
Free on iOS and Android. No credit card.
You see 3.7 pounds of ground beef, 22 hamburger buns, 5½ cups of coleslaw. Kiamiko calculates every ingredient down to the unit. Spice ratios adjust correctly — the app doesn't just multiply salt by four and wreck your mac and cheese.
All mains, sides, and desserts merge into one list. Duplicate ingredients total automatically.
You buy only what's missing. Kiamiko subtracts the mayo and charcoal you already have.
Assign dishes, scale each one, see the whole picture before you leave the house.
Kiamiko eliminates the calculator, the notes app, the recipe tabs, and the paper list. You enter your first recipe and your headcount. The shopping list appears in minutes.
Precise quantities mean leftovers shrink to one meal, not a week of pulled pork.
You split the shopping without buying duplicate sour cream.
The chili you already make scales to 20 without hunting for new recipes.
"I used to overbuy everything 'just in case.' Kiamiko's list was exact. I spent $65 less than my usual panic-shopping runs."
Replaces calculator, notes, and guesswork.
Manual recipe multiplication for 15-25 person gatherings introduces compounding rounding errors across multiple dishes. When a 6-serving recipe uses ⅓ cup of an ingredient, the correct amount for 22 people isn't obvious—leading hosts to overbuy "just in case" and waste $40-80 in food per event.
Accurate scaling requires proportional adjustment of every ingredient while maintaining proper ratios. Seasonings, fats, and liquids don't scale linearly with headcount. A complete shopping workflow consolidates ingredients across multiple recipes, accounts for existing pantry inventory, and produces precise quantities that match store packaging.
Effective planning systems integrate three capabilities: exact mathematical scaling beyond simple multiplication, inventory awareness that prevents duplicate purchases, and unified list management across the entire menu. This eliminates the fragmented workflow of calculator apps, handwritten notes, and mental tracking that creates both shortages and waste.
