Affordable recipe management software for Spain

A Spanish kitchen lives on precise portion economics. A menú del día is a fixed price that has to cover several courses, so a few céntimos of drift on each plate decides whether the lunch service makes money or quietly loses it. A tapas or raciones menu multiplies that problem across dozens of small plates, many of which share the same base preparations. Costing all of that by hand, or in a spreadsheet that never updates itself, is where margins disappear.

Cucinovo is built for exactly this kind of portion-level costing. You enter each recipe once, attach ingredient prices, and it calculates the cost per portion for you. Set the selling price for your menú del día and you can see immediately how much room is left across the courses — before the service, not after the month closes.

Shared preparations are handled with sub-recipes. Make your sofrito, alioli, or a stock once as its own costed recipe, then drop it into every dish that uses it. When the price of oil or tomatoes moves, you update the ingredient in one place and every plate that depends on it recalculates — the whole raciones menu, not just one dish.

And because pricing is public and quoted in euros, you can evaluate all of this without a sales call. Cucinovo runs on EU-hosted infrastructure in Helsinki with GDPR as the default, so a restaurant in Madrid, Barcelona, or anywhere in Spain keeps its data inside the EU without a separate compliance project.

Cucinovo is built around automatic recipe costing. If you want to try the maths before signing up, our free food cost calculator runs a single recipe in your browser. And if you are weighing Cucinovo against other tools, we keep honest side-by-side comparisons.
