Stress-Free Party Planning: How to Scale Recipes for 20 People with Veloop

Does multiplying recipes give you performance anxiety?

Inviting friends and family over for a large dinner or party is a joy – until the responsibility of grocery shopping hits you. How many potatoes do 14 people actually need? How many bottles of drinks should you calculate?

Manually scaling up recipes often leads to two things: either you buy way too much and are left with a mountain of leftovers, or you end up having to run to the store because you're out of cream.


Veloop AI: Your Digital Event Manager

Veloop AI handles the math and headaches, allowing you to focus on being a great host.

1. Scale recipes with one click

Tell Veloop AI how many guests are coming, and specify which dishes you want to serve. The agent immediately converts the portions from "dinner for 4" to accurately proportioned "party menu for 20", adding the right amount straight into your shopping list.

2. Delegated shopping for large parties

When the list gets huge, you can share it with friends or family members. "I'll take fruits and veggies, you take the drinks". Since the app synchronizes instantly and sorts by store departments, bulk buying goes smoothly.

3. Accurate quantity calculation

Veloop AI uses smart algorithms to calculate standard proportions for social gatherings, avoiding unrealistic scaling that leaves you with 4 liters of sour cream that never gets eaten.


How to get started

It takes only seconds to get the party out of your head and into the app:

  1. Choose the dishes: Find the dishes you want to serve in Veloop.
  2. Define the number of guests: Specify that the menu should scale for, for example, 15 people via the AI planner.
  3. Share the task: Share the shopping list with a co-organizer to save time at the store.
  4. Shop efficiently: Let the app's store-sorting guide you through the supermarket.
