Hub dashboard and settings

Hub home

The hub dashboard shows configurable widgets: inventory stats, cookable meals, partial matches, expiring cargo, supply preview, manifest preview, Daily Fuel / Fuel Trends (nutrition goal progress — when nutrition flags are on), and Flight Recorder (recent shared kitchen activity — logistics only, not personal kcal). You can change layout presets and per-widget visibility, size, and filters where the UI allows.

Daily Fuel / Fuel Trends are your personal progress (not a household sum). With cross-kitchen diary enabled, they use intake from every kitchen you log in—not only the active group. Flight Recorder stays shared logistics only.

Settings sections

Open Hub → Settings:

  • Account — Display name, avatar, default group after sign-in.
  • Group — Active group name/avatar, members, invitations (when tier allows), roles, ownership transfer, credit transfer, org tags, supply planning horizon. See Groups and membership.
  • Preferences — Allergens, unit display mode, and other kitchen preferences shown in the UI. When nutrition goals are enabled, set or clear daily nutrition goals here (consent required on save)—see Nutrition goals and tracking.
  • Developer — Overview path chooser, MCP (OAuth connect + grant management), and API Keys (REST v1 and advanced MCP scopes). See API key safety, MCP overview, and REST API (v1) overview.
  • Help & Feedback — Links into the self-serve guide at /help (same docs used by Ask Ration). See Ask Ration vs reading the guide.
  • Danger Zone — Delete group (when allowed), and purge account (irreversible). Read all warnings. Account purge removes user data and handles owned groups per product rules (transfer or delete). See Data, privacy, and deletion.

Tags

Under Settings → Group → Tags, owners and admins create, rename, recolor, categorize, merge duplicates, delete unused tags, or run unused cleanup. Tags attach to Cargo and meals for filtering.

Allergens and units

Set allergens and unit display mode in Preferences. Allergen settings influence AI suggestions; units control how quantities appear across Cargo, Galley, and Supply.

Checkout return

After Stripe checkout you may land with transaction=success so the hub refreshes tier and credits without a manual reload.

Actions (summary)

  • Customize hub widgets and presets.
  • Update Account profile and default group.
  • Manage Group membership, tags, and owner/admin admin flows.
  • Edit Preferences (allergens, units, and nutrition goals when enabled).
  • Configure Developer MCP and API keys.
  • Open Help (/help) or give feedback.
  • Run Danger Zone purge or group delete only when you intend permanent loss.

If a control is missing, your tier or role may not allow it—see Free vs Crew Member.
