Plan meals for the week and generate shopping lists automatically
Browse your recipe collection, assign meals to days, and let Cucinovo build a consolidated shopping list from your entire plan. Spend less time deciding what to cook and more time cooking.

The daily question of "what should we eat tonight?" wastes more time than most people realize. Without a plan, you default to takeout, repeat the same three meals, or open the fridge and improvise with whatever is about to expire. None of these lead to balanced, cost-effective eating.
Cucinovo's meal planner lets you drag recipes from your collection onto a weekly calendar. Once your plan is set, one click generates a shopping list with every ingredient you need, aggregated and ready for a single grocery run.
For restaurants, the same concept applies to daily specials and rotating menus. Plan which dishes run on which days, and your prep lists and purchasing follow automatically. No more Tuesday surprises when the walk-in is missing half the ingredients for the daily special.
What you get with Meal Planning
Reduce decision fatigue
Decide once at the start of the week, then follow the plan. No more standing in front of the fridge at 6pm wondering what to make for dinner.
Auto-generate shopping lists
Your meal plan feeds directly into a shopping list. Every ingredient from every planned meal appears in one aggregated list, ready for a single shopping trip.
Use recipes you already have
Browse and search your full recipe collection when building the plan. No separate meal planning database to maintain.
Track what you spend
Because every recipe is costed, your meal plan shows the total food cost for the week. Compare week over week and stay within your grocery budget.
Get started in minutes
Browse your recipes
Search or filter your recipe collection by category, cost, or prep time. See cost per portion alongside each recipe to plan meals that fit your budget.
Assign meals to days
Drag recipes onto a weekly calendar or assign them manually. Plan breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or just the meals you want to organize.
Generate a shopping list
One click builds a consolidated shopping list from your entire meal plan. Identical ingredients aggregate automatically across all planned meals.

Follow your plan through the week. Swap meals between days if plans change. Your shopping list updates to reflect any changes you make.
Built for how you actually work
Busy families planning weekly meals
Sit down on Sunday, plan five dinners, generate one shopping list, and shop once. Save time on weeknights and reduce the temptation to order delivery when you already have a plan and the ingredients to execute it.
Restaurants planning daily specials
Map specials to each day of the week, then generate prep lists and purchasing schedules from the plan. Your kitchen team knows what to prep, and your purchasing team knows what to order, days in advance.
Budget-conscious meal prep
See the total cost of your weekly plan before you shop. Swap expensive recipes for cheaper alternatives, batch-cook shared ingredients, and track your actual food spend per person per week.
