Sharing and kitchen teams
Sharing one recipe
Send a recipe as a link, even to someone without an account, and decide how long the link works. See Sharing a recipe with a link.
A kitchen team
A kitchen team is your kitchen’s recipe book. Every member sees the same recipes on their own phone, tablet or computer. When the maker changes a recipe, everyone sees the new version straight away.
Everything about kitchen teams
Step by step:
- Creating a kitchen team
- Roles: owner, editor and viewer
- Inviting your team
- Recipes and folders in the team
- Copying a colleague’s recipe
- Leaving, deleting and Savour Pro
What it costs
Creating a kitchen team needs Savour Pro. Being a member is free. For a whole kitchen with Pro for everyone there is an organisation plan.

Sharing a recipe with a link
Sharing
Open the recipe and choose “Share”. Send it straight via WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS or email, or copy the link. In WhatsApp the recipe shows with its own preview image.
What the recipient sees
Whoever opens the link sees the recipe, even without an account. They can scale it and use cook mode, but not edit it.
How long the link works
At “For how long?” choose 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week or unlimited. After that the link no longer works.
Turning the link off
With “Turn link off” nobody can open the recipe through that link any more, even if the time is not up yet.
Letting them copy it
Switch on “Recipients may copy this recipe” and recipients with an account can add it to their own recipes as their own copy. Your recipe does not change.
With your whole team
If you often share recipes with the same people, use a kitchen team: nobody has to keep links any more.
Creating a kitchen team
Creating it
In the menu under Kitchen teams choose “Create kitchen team” and give it a name, for example your restaurant or kitchen. This needs Savour Pro, including the free trial week.
Settings
In the team settings you change the name and image under General. Under Share you find the invitation link, and under Members & permissions you manage who is in it.
Adding recipes
Choose “Add recipe” and tick recipes from your own library. The recipe stays yours: it is in the team and in your own recipes. See Recipes and folders in the team.
Inviting people
Send your team an invitation via WhatsApp, Telegram, email or the link. See Inviting your team.
Where to start
Start with the base recipes everyone uses daily, such as stocks, sauces and standard garnishes. Then expand by section or by menu.
Roles: owner, editor and viewer
The three roles
Each member has one role:
- Owner: manages the kitchen team, its members and their roles. Only the owner removes people from the team.
- Editor: adds recipes and folders, removes them and manages the folders.
- Viewer: views, prints and scales.
Changing a role
New members join as viewers. The owner changes their role under Members & permissions in the team settings.
Editing a recipe
Only the maker of a recipe can edit it, in a team too. That way nobody changes someone else’s recipe by accident. Others can take their own copy.
Which role for whom
A common set-up: the head chef is owner, sous-chefs and chefs de partie are editors, commis and interns are viewers.
Inviting your team
Inviting
Open the kitchen team settings and under Share choose “Share / invite”. Send the invitation via WhatsApp, Telegram or email, or choose “Copy link” and post it in your group chat.
What the colleague does
Your colleague opens the link and logs in, or creates a free account. They then join the team as a viewer.
Free for members
Being a member of a kitchen team is free, even without Savour Pro. Only the owner needs Pro.
Changing the role
Then give your sous-chef the editor role. See Roles.
Removing someone
When someone leaves, the owner removes them from the team under Members & permissions. They keep their own recipes; they no longer see the team’s recipes.
Recipes and folders in the team
Adding recipes
In the kitchen team choose “Add recipe” and tick recipes from your own library. The recipe stays yours and is in both the team and your own recipes. Change it and the team sees the new version straight away.
Folders
Split the team into folders, for example by section (garde manger, saucier, pastry) or by menu. An owner or editor creates folders and adds recipes to them.
Managing folders
“Manage folders” lets you rename them, put them in your kitchen’s order and archive folders you no longer use, such as last season’s menu.
Archive
Archived folders and their recipes are kept. You find them at the bottom under “Archive”.
Removing from the team
Open a recipe from the team and choose ⋯ “Remove from kitchen team” or “Remove from folder”. The recipe stays with its maker.
Printing
Print the whole team, one folder or your own selection at once, with the owner’s logo. See Printing several recipes.
Copying a colleague’s recipe
In a kitchen team
Every recipe from a colleague in the kitchen team shows “Add to my recipes”. You get your own copy in your library.
Through a shared link
If the maker switched on “Recipients may copy this recipe” when sharing, you can add the recipe from the link too, with an account.
Your copy
Your copy is entirely yours: you can edit it, put it in your own folders and scale it. The original stays with the maker and does not change along.
Leaving, deleting and Savour Pro
Leaving
A member can always leave a kitchen team. You keep your own recipes; you no longer see other people’s. To keep one, copy it first.
Deleting
Only the owner can delete the kitchen team, under General in the settings. The recipes themselves stay in their makers’ libraries.
When the owner stops Pro
A kitchen team works as long as the owner has Savour Pro, including the trial week. If that stops, the team is locked, but everything is kept until the owner has Pro again.
Invite a colleague: 14 days of Pro
Your personal link
In the menu under General choose “Invite a colleague”. Copy your personal link or share it via WhatsApp or another app.
When you get the gift
When your colleague creates an account through your link, confirms their email address and logs in, you get 14 days of Savour Pro. Your colleague gets the usual 7-day trial.
Already paying for Pro
With a paid subscription you get the 14 days as credit on your next invoice. If you have cancelled, they start after your paid period.
How often
The gift applies to new accounts, once per colleague, up to 12 times. “Invite a colleague” shows how many colleagues you have invited.
