Edit recipes with Claude, plus the new FoodNotify: a new light or dark design and a sidebar with favorites. Also copying recipes to Inventory, new settings pages and more.
Here you'll find everything that is new in FoodNotify in November 2026, newest first. Each change tells you what it brings and what you can do now.
9 November 2026: Edit recipes with Claude
Edit recipes with Claude
If FoodNotify is connected to Claude, Claude can now edit your recipes, not just read them: preparation steps and step photos, the comment, ingredient lines, tags, images, portions and locations, in every recipe language. Claude also finds supplier articles by name or article number.
This lets you make large changes in one go, for example adding the preparation steps of many recipes at once. You can safely run such imports more than once.
How to: Tell Claude in plain language what to change, for example: "Add English preparation steps to the recipe Tomato soup." Then check the result in the recipe. More about the MCP server: AI at FoodNotify
Ingredient search in recipes
The ingredient search in the recipe form now finds names in the language you search in. It shows supplier articles only from your connected suppliers.

Contact person at the supplier
Only the side that manages a supplier can now change its contact person: your account for your own suppliers, the FoodNotify team for all other suppliers. If the contact details of one of these suppliers are wrong, let us know.

9 November 2026: The new FoodNotify
FoodNotify has a new look and a new navigation.
New design, light or dark
Every page shows the new look in aubergine and lime, from the dashboard to Inventory, Recipes and the settings.
How to: Click the cog at the top right. Under Theme, pick Light or Dark; under Language, pick English (EN), German (DE) or French (FR).
One sidebar for everything
All areas are now in the sidebar on the left, the same on every page. No menu item disappears, only its place changes. In Inventory, the pages are grouped:
- Stock movements: Orders, Food waste, Stock transfer, Sales and Stocktaking
- Configuration: Storage and Commodity groups
- Global: Settings
To switch to another location or cost center, click your location's name at the top. The question mark at the top right takes you straight to the Support Center.
Favorites
Star the pages you use most. They then appear in the sidebar under Favorites.
How to: Hover over an entry in the sidebar and click the star. Click it again to remove the favorite.
Recipes: all locations in one click
When you add a recipe, you select all locations in one click, and the price rows per location appear right away. Once all are selected, the same button clears the selection.
Sign-in: send the confirmation email again
If your email address is not confirmed yet, the sign-in page shows a message in your language and a Send it again button that mails you a new confirmation link. If you have already asked for it several times, the message asks you to check your inbox and spam folder or to try again in an hour.
Creating pre-production articles
When you create a pre-production article, the recipe search offers the same recipes as the Recipes page, complete and without duplicates. If you switch to another recipe, FoodNotify suggests the stock unit again.
Shorter cookbooks
The lists of locations and integrations are now switched off in the cookbook print settings, so cookbooks for large groups are much shorter. Ingredients from product groups print with their name.
How to: If you need the full lists, switch them back on in the print settings.
More improvements
- Stored recipe costs now match the recipe page. Some go up slightly after the next update.
- Delivery notes from EDI suppliers carry the actual delivery date instead of the evening before.
- Supplier catalogs in several languages keep every language. Stock items at French- or English-speaking locations can show their local name.
- An old error message on your POS connection card disappears once the connection is re-established, and it names the right connection.

Copy recipes to Inventory as pre-production articles
You can now copy recipes straight into the inventory of your locations as pre-production articles (PPA). You decide whether every location gets all selected items or only the ingredients and sub-recipes its recipes use.
How to:
- Under Recipe › Ingredients, switch to Recipes.
- Tick the recipes you want and click Copy to ERP.
- Pick the target locations, choose All selected items or Only what is needed and set the stock unit (Piece, Kilogram or Liter).
A PPA badge, the number of ERP locations and a filter then show where each recipe already is a pre-production article.
New pages for Settings and Business information
Settings and your business information with company, locations and cost centers have new pages with the tabs you know.
- Languages: set the default language and the fallback order for missing texts. Each location can have its own order.
- Several locations at once: Set languages and Set cutoff time work for several locations at the same time.
- Cost centers can now move to another location.
Recipe deletion goes through support
So that nothing gets deleted by accident, FoodNotify support deletes recipes on your request.
How to: Under Settings › Recipes › Recipe book, choose the recipes to delete, add a note if you like and click Request deletion. Our support does the rest.
Product groups in every language
Give each product group a name per language: German, English and French. Badges show which translations are done, and a filter finds the missing ones. Everyone sees group names in their own language; if a translation is missing, the location's language order applies.
The order as a PDF for suppliers
Suppliers who receive orders by email now also get the order as a PDF attachment, in their language. Nothing to switch on.
Clearer auto-import banner
Under Orders in Inventory, the banner now says exactly when orders are imported automatically, for example on the delivery day at 18:00, plus a note about stocktakings. Now also in French.
More improvements
- If you open a FoodNotify link while signed out, you land on that page after signing in instead of the dashboard.
- Connected systems can no longer book a food waste entry with an amount of 0 or more than 10 tonnes.
- The recipe viewer opens again for accounts that never chose recipe languages.
