How Grubtrip works
From the first invite to the last receipt, one shared plan.
- 1
Someone sets up the menu
One person creates the trip with the dates, the rental zip code and the house details such as a yard, a grill, a fire pit or a pool. Grubtrip looks up the weather for those dates and suggests local activities and the non-food essentials the group is likely to forget.

Everyone joins from one link
The organizer shares a single invite link. Anyone who opens it can see the meal calendar, which slots are taken, what is being cooked and what is on the house wishlist. Joining takes an email address and a family name, with no password to remember.

Families claim meals
Each family claims the breakfasts, lunches and dinners it wants to cook. For each meal, type an idea and the recipe helper returns three options scaled to the whole group, respecting dietary notes and skipping anything already in the pantry. Every ingredient can be marked to buy, to bring from home or as already at the house.

The group votes on extras
Anyone can add bonus items to the wishlist, such as a card game, sidewalk chalk or s'mores supplies, and the group votes. The organizer moves the winners onto the shared list.

One list, one cart
Grubtrip merges every meal into a single list, combines duplicates and rounds up to real package sizes. Each line is matched to a Walmart product, and one tap opens a Walmart cart with everything in it, ready for pickup or delivery near the rental.

Costs split fairly
Before anyone shops, Grubtrip shows the estimated total and the cost per person. After the order, log what each family paid and Grubtrip shows exactly who owes whom. Shared groceries split by headcount, and personal extras stay with the family that asked for them.
