Import Recipes Like a Pro: How the Excel Upload Works
Speed up your workflow by filling out your recipe details in Excel before adding them to the platform. You can import one recipe at a time, and the template lets you prepare all your data in one go—making the process fast and consistent.
📥 Where to Get the Excel Template
- Go to the Recipes page
- Click “Add new recipe”
- Select “Import via Excel” to download the template
This pre-filled file includes all the fields you’ll need—no guessing, no formatting issues.
⚠️ Don’t Break the Format
To ensure your file uploads smoothly:
- Do NOT delete or reorder columns
- Hiding columns is fine
You CAN rename column headers or highlight cells
This is especially useful if you're collaborating with a team
Color-coding or renaming makes teamwork easier and won't interfere with the import.
✅ What’s Required vs. Optional
| Field | Required? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Recipe Name | ✅ | Must be unique |
| Ingredients | ✅ | Include name, quantity, and unit |
| Preparation Steps | Optional | Add instructions if needed |
| Serving Size | Optional | Can also be adjusted later |
| Nutritional Info | Optional | Useful for labeling or compliance |
You can always update or complete the recipe later directly in the platform.
