What are pintxos?
Pintxos (pronounced “pin-chos”) are small bites closely associated with the Basque Country in northern Spain. Many are served on bread with a cocktail stick; others are little skewers, croquettes or miniature dishes. A gilda, a slice of tortilla and a creative hot bite can all belong on a pintxo bar counter.
They bring a whole recipe into a small portion. PintxoLab helps you organise that recipe and its ingredient costs, whether you serve pintxos, tapas or other dishes.

The community ahead
Your pintxos could inspire other kitchens.
We are building a board of pintxos voluntarily published by other establishments. You will be able to discover ideas, recognise their authors and adopt a recipe as an independent copy, with your own ingredients and prices.

Before you start
Clear from the start.
Who is PintxoLab for?
Bars, restaurants, cafés and hospitality businesses that want to organise their catalogue and understand the ingredient costs of their recipes. It does not replace a full accounting system.
Can I use my Excel data?
Yes. Download the PintxoLab template, adapt your data to its sheets and review it before importing. You can also export your private catalogue. Arbitrary Excel layouts are not automatically supported, and formulas are not executed.
Does the template include starter data?
It includes 85 ingredients with editable prices and 65 recipe records. 35 recipes have complete ingredient lists and 30 need more data. The Review sheet preserves the missing information and is not imported automatically. Check prices before using the costs.
Are my recipes public?
Your establishment catalogue is private. Access depends on the account, business membership and role. Other establishments’ data is not added to your catalogue.
Will I be able to share pintxos and receive bonuses?
The community is in development. You will be able to publish voluntarily after review, appear on the board and let other businesses adopt independent copies with attribution. Positive reception and verified adoptions may earn promotional credits; amounts, eligibility and limits are still being defined. Your private catalogue and purchase prices will not become public.
Can I use it on my phone?
You can use a mobile browser without installing an app. The application is currently in Spanish; this public website is also available in English.
How do I get access, and what does it cost?
We are in early access and preparing commercial plans. Contact us to learn about availability and request access. Public registration is not open yet; no price or promotion has been published. Existing users can select Sign in.
