What a paused kitchen can still do

When a trial ends without a subscription, or a subscription ends, the kitchen pauses for everyone in it. Nothing is deleted, and subscribing again brings it all back.

Pick up where you left off

  1. Sign in. Instead of the app you see a screen saying the kitchen's trial or subscription has ended.
  2. If you're the owner, choose Individual or Family there and subscribe. Everything comes back at once.
  3. If you're not the owner, ask them to subscribe; only the owner can.
  4. Want your recipes either way? Use Export your recipes on the same screen.

What works in a paused kitchen

  • The owner can subscribe.
  • Anyone in the kitchen can export the recipes, delete their account or sign out.
  • The API still lets you read recipes out.

What stops

  • Adding or changing anything: recipes, plans, lists and the pantry are kept but can't be edited.
  • AI features, imports, grocery prices and Kroger.
  • Claude and other AI apps connected to the kitchen, and calendar feeds.
  • New people joining.
