Move your recipes out of spreadsheets and into a system that works
Import your existing ingredient lists and recipes from CSV files in minutes. Export any data back to spreadsheets for accounting, reporting, or backup. No manual re-entry, no data left behind.
Import your recipes nowWhy CSV Import & Export?
Switching to a new recipe management tool should not mean spending a week typing in 200 recipes by hand. If your recipes and ingredients live in Excel or Google Sheets today, Cucinovo can import them directly. Map your columns to the right fields, review the preview, and import.
Export works the same way in reverse. Need to send your ingredient costs to your accountant? Export to CSV. Want a backup of your recipe library? Export to CSV. Need to share data with a system Cucinovo does not integrate with? Export to CSV.
Bulk operations save time beyond initial migration. Update dozens of ingredient prices at once by exporting, editing in your spreadsheet tool of choice, and re-importing. This is faster than clicking through 50 ingredient pages when your supplier sends a new price list.
What you get with CSV Import & Export
Migrate in minutes, not days
Import your existing ingredient lists and recipes from CSV files. Map columns with a visual preview, fix any issues before importing, and have your full library in Cucinovo without manual data entry.
Export for accounting and reporting
Export ingredient costs, recipe data, and shopping list totals to CSV for your accountant, business partner, or any external system. Your data is never locked inside Cucinovo.
Bulk price updates
When a supplier sends a new price list, export your ingredients, update prices in your spreadsheet, and re-import. Faster than editing ingredients one by one, especially when dozens of prices change at once.
No vendor lock-in
Export everything you have in Cucinovo at any time. Your recipes, ingredients, costs, and categories are always accessible in a standard format you can open in any spreadsheet application.
Get started in minutes
Prepare your CSV file
Start from your existing spreadsheet or download a template from Cucinovo. Ensure your data has columns for the fields you want to import, like ingredient name, unit, cost, and category.
Upload and map columns
Upload your CSV and Cucinovo shows a preview. Map your spreadsheet columns to Cucinovo fields using the visual mapper. The system highlights any rows that need attention before importing.
Review and import
Check the preview for any issues. Fix problem rows directly or skip them for now. Click import and your data is added to your library. Duplicates are flagged so you can choose to skip or overwrite.
Export anytime you need
Go to any list in Cucinovo and click export. Choose which fields to include, and download a CSV file ready for Excel, Google Sheets, or any other tool.
Built for how you actually work
Migrating from spreadsheets to Cucinovo
Import your existing recipe and ingredient spreadsheets in one go instead of re-typing everything manually. Most restaurants can migrate their full library in under an hour, including review and cleanup.
Monthly cost reporting for management
Export ingredient costs and recipe food cost percentages at the end of each month. Share the spreadsheet with your accountant or upload it to your accounting software for cost analysis and tax preparation.
Synchronizing with external inventory systems
If your restaurant uses a separate POS or inventory system, export ingredient data from Cucinovo and import it where needed. Keep both systems current without double data entry.
