Every Dallas, TX kitchen is different, but the failure modes are the same. Here's how each one plays out locally — and what the app does about it.
🧊 Zone 1 — The fridge
The highest-traffic zone. Scan shelves and drawers in one pass; the app flags what to eat first and adjusts expiry guidance for where items sit.
