What it is
Cucinovo is a web-based recipe management platform for home cooks, restaurants, and multi-location restaurant groups. It organizes recipes and ingredients, calculates costs per portion and batch, and carries costs through nested sub-recipes. Shopping lists combine ingredients across recipes and total their quantities. The planner supports weekly meal planning and catering events, adjusting quantities and costs. Recipe and ingredient data can be imported or exported in bulk through CSV. The free plan is for one household and one user, with unlimited recipes, ingredients, and categories, plus shopping lists, sub-recipes, grocery lists, and import/export. Plus supports five users and adds meal planning, portion costing, a loss calculator, and family sharing; it costs €7/month billed annually or €9/mo. Restaurant Starter is €24/month billed annually or €29/mo, and Pro is €66/month billed annually or €79/mo. Restaurant plans include unlimited team members and role-based access. Pro includes one location, with up to five additional locations available at €29/mo each. Restaurant plans include a 14-day trial with full Pro access and no credit card required; customers choose Starter or Pro afterward.
