Overview
Cucinovo lets you invite team members to collaborate on your recipes, ingredients, and procurement workflows. Each member is assigned a role that determines what they can see and do.
Team management is available on paid plans. Restaurant plans include unlimited team members. Household free-plan organizations are limited to a single member (the Owner).
Roles
Cucinovo has five roles, listed from most to least privileged:
- Owner — full control over the organization, including billing, team management, and all resources. Each organization has exactly one Owner.
- Manager — can manage team members and has full access to all recipes, ingredients, and procurement features. Cannot access billing.
- Chef — can create and edit recipes, ingredients, and procurement items (grocery lists, prep lists, purchase orders). Cannot manage team members.
- Staff — can work with shopping lists and procurement workflows. Has read-only access to recipes and ingredients.
- Viewer — read-only access to everything. Cannot create, edit, or delete any resources.
