You keep ordering takeout when you meant to cook

You had a plan to cook. There's food in the fridge. But it's 7pm, you're tired and hungry, the fridge feels like a puzzle, and the app is right there with three taps between you and dinner. So you order again, spend money you meant to save, and eat feeling a little defeated about a decision you keep losing.

What’s really going on

Cooking doesn't lose to takeout because you're lazy — it loses because at 7pm, tired and hungry, cooking asks you to make ten small decisions and takeout asks for none. You're not failing at willpower; you're being out-designed by an app built to be effortless exactly when your effort is gone. So we make cooking win the way takeout does — by removing the decisions before you're depleted, so the easy path leads to the stove instead of the checkout.
