Internal tools / operationsWorking food-operations app · private finance remains secondary evidence

Replace the business-critical spreadsheet with software your team owns.

For established teams whose daily work is split across spreadsheets, messages, manual checks, and one person's memory—and where generic SaaS cannot fit the workflow, integrations, or data-control requirements.

Working food-operations app: purchasing, FIFO stock, recipes, and order margin.

First useful outcome

A useful first release, built around the real job

One private app for the records, actions, alerts, and reports your team uses every day—with the imports, exports, and backups it actually needs.

  • The main workflow for one team
  • The records, statuses, and rules it depends on
  • A staff interface that works on phones and desktops
  • Simple roles and access
  • The reports, imports, and exports people actually need
  • Deployment, backups, and a handoff guide
Working flow

How the system fits together

  1. Bring in your records
  2. Set the rules
  3. Run the daily work
  4. See what needs attention
  5. Export and recover everything
Your implementation

Your version follows your business

The reusable parts give us a head start. Your version still follows your data, staff, approvals, integrations, and infrastructure—not somebody else’s generic process.

Wrong fit

When this is the wrong tool

  • A generic replacement for a mature ERP or CRM suite
  • An unproven process with no accountable owner
  • A sub-$15k budget expecting migration, integrations, permissions, and several departments
  • Regulated decision automation without qualified human review
Interactive demos

Try the software yourself

Click around the real interface using sample data. Search, filters, calculations, and reports work; anything that would save, send, upload, or charge is disabled.

Implemented views

Two implemented operator surfaces, not two wireframes.

Both captures come from the read-only public demos. They show the navigation, state model, and calculations without exposing private records.

Evidence

What exists and what it can establish

Measured implementation facts stay separate from business outcomes.

SubjectObserved or verifiedLimit
Food operations stateThe working pilot connects purchasing, FIFO stock batches, recipes, sales channels, delivery fees, ingredient cost, and order margin.No public before-and-after operator-time or error-rate study is attached.
Finance stateThe private application keeps wallets, linked ledger entries, transfers, budgets, debts, imported records, and exact balances in one workflow.Private use proves the implemented state model, not a measured result for another team.
Read-only demosTwo indexable five-screen demos expose the real navigation and calculations using fictional records.A read-only fixture does not prove production persistence, permissions, concurrency, or recovery.

Assumptions behind this range
  • One person can approve scope and product decisions.
  • The source data is usable and available for review.
  • Deployment goes into infrastructure you control.
  • The reusable core remains mine; your data and business-specific work remain yours.

Messy data, migrations, unusual integrations, compressed deadlines, and deeper production responsibility can move the range.

Attach estimate and continue

This is a planning range, not a quote or a promise of delivery dates. I confirm scope, dependencies, and responsibility before proposing a build.

After launch

Run it yourself, or keep me around

I fix agreed-scope defects for 30 days after handoff. Then you can take over completely or keep me involved for maintenance, production help, or reserved development time.

Handoff

No ongoing fee

You take over the agreed release. I still fix build defects for 30 days; ongoing updates and operational help are separate.

Maintenance

$1.5k–$3k/month

Annual commitment. Scheduled releases, security and compatibility fixes, and planned upgrade help. No incident response or custom development.

Production support

$3.5k–$6.5k/month

Six-month minimum. Maintenance, one-business-day response on working days, deployment help, and a monthly allowance for incident or operational work.

Reserved engineering

$7.5k–$12k/month

Six-month minimum. Priority queue, planned release work, and reserved engineering capacity. Unused capacity does not roll over; larger features are scoped separately.

I fix agreed-scope defects for 30 days after handoff. New reports, process changes, and production support are separate work.
