Custom internal tools for teams that have outgrown spreadsheets.
I replace business-critical spreadsheets, chat handoffs, manual approvals, and one-person knowledge with one private application the team controls.
Best for teams with a business-critical repeated workflow, an accountable owner, failed off-the-shelf options for a stated reason, and a first useful build that can justify a $15k+ budget. The initial targeting hypothesis is 10–50+ staff and multi-location or integration-heavy operations; that is not a proven deployment result.

Replace the business-critical spreadsheet with software your team owns.
The food-operations workflow is implemented. Paid work adapts the records, rules, interface, integrations, deployment, and handoff to your business.
Custom internal tools for established operations that have outgrown business-critical spreadsheets and failed off-the-shelf software.
Working food-operations app: purchasing, FIFO stock, recipes, and order margin.
Fit
Teams with multi-location work, integrations, cross-role approvals, or fragile data ownership; one understood, business-critical repeated workflow; current tools causing delays, duplicate entry, errors, weak ownership, or fragile reporting; a specific reason off-the-shelf software failed; and one decision owner who can approve a $15k+ first release.
First workflow
A focused first workflow usually takes 4–8 weeks. Data migration, hardware, detailed permissions, or several departments make it larger.
