Shopping lists that build themselves from your recipes
Select recipes or meal plans, and Cucinovo aggregates every ingredient into a single shopping list grouped by supplier. No more cross-referencing five recipes on a notepad.

Manual shopping lists are where purchasing breaks down. You open three recipes, jot down ingredients on paper, forget to combine the onions from recipe A with the onions from recipe B, and end up buying twice what you need. Or you underbuy and make a second trip mid-service.
Cucinovo builds shopping lists directly from your recipes, prep lists, and events. Select what you are cooking, and the system aggregates identical ingredients across all sources. Two kilograms of flour from the bread recipe plus one kilogram from the pasta recipe becomes three kilograms on one line.
For restaurants, items automatically group by supplier so you can send each supplier exactly what you need. For home cooks, the aggregated list means fewer forgotten items and less food waste from buying duplicates.
What you get with Smart Shopping Lists
Automatic quantity aggregation
Identical ingredients from multiple recipes combine into a single line item. No manual addition, no double-buying.
Supplier grouping
Items organize by supplier automatically, so you can place orders directly from the list. Each supplier sees only their items with correct quantities.
Multiple source types
Build lists from individual recipes, prep lists, catering events, or a combination of all three. Each item tracks where it came from for easy auditing.
Reduce over-purchasing
Because quantities aggregate precisely, you buy what you need and nothing more. Less surplus means less waste and lower food costs.

Select your recipes or meal plans
Choose the recipes you plan to cook this week, or pull items from a prep list or catering event. You can mix sources freely in a single shopping list.
Quantities aggregate automatically
Cucinovo sums identical ingredients across all selected sources. If three recipes each need 500g of butter, your list shows 1.5kg of butter in one line.
Review and adjust
Check the aggregated list, adjust quantities for par stock or minimum order sizes, and add any standalone items you need outside of recipes.
Group by supplier and order
Switch to the supplier view to see items grouped by vendor. For restaurants on the Pro plan, generate purchase orders directly from the list.
Built for how you actually work
Weekly restaurant purchasing
Build next week's shopping list from your prep schedule and any catering events. Aggregate quantities across everything, group by supplier, and place orders in minutes instead of hours.
Family meal prep
Plan five dinners for the week, generate one consolidated shopping list, and make a single grocery run. No more mid-week trips for forgotten ingredients.
Catering event procurement
Scale recipes to guest count, combine all menu items into one shopping list, and see exactly what to order. Particularly valuable when multiple events share ingredients in the same week.
