Household Overview
Household organizations are designed for personal and family use. The Free plan includes unlimited recipes, ingredients, sub-recipes, and shopping lists — everything you need to organize your kitchen.
The Plus plan adds meal planning, cost tracking per portion, the loss calculator, and family sharing for up to 5 people.
Households have a streamlined interface that hides restaurant-only features like procurement workflows, events, and supplier management, keeping things simple and focused.
First Steps
Here is how to get started with your household workspace:
Go to Ingredients in the sidebar and click New Ingredient. Add the items you commonly cook with — name, unit, and optionally price.
Go to Recipes and click New Recipe. Add the recipe name, select a category, set the output, and add your ingredients with quantities.
Select one or more recipes from the Recipes page and click Create Shopping List. Cucinovo adds up all the ingredients you need and creates a handy list.
If you are on the Plus plan, open the Meal Planner to schedule recipes across the week and automatically generate shopping lists from your plan.

Household vs. Restaurant
Household organizations are streamlined for personal use. The following features are only available in Restaurant organizations:
- Grocery Lists and Prep Lists
- Events and guest-count scaling
- Purchase Orders
- Supplier management
- Team roles (Owner, Manager, Chef, Staff, Viewer)
- Multi-location support
If you need these features, you can create a separate Restaurant organization from the organization switcher in the sidebar.
