From kitchen to customer — we build the software that runs modern F&B businesses.
Food and beverage moves fast, runs on thin margins, and lives across a dozen disconnected tools — a POS here, a spreadsheet for food cost there, phone-and-email orders from suppliers, and a delivery app that owns your customer. We build the software layer that connects how you operate: front-of-house to back-of-house, kitchen to customer, supplier to shelf. Ops-first and experience-forward, compliance-aware without leading with it. We lead with food service and distribution, extend into the software layer for food manufacturing, and build on top of the platforms you already run — or fully custom when you have outgrown them.
Food businesses run on a dozen tools that never talk — and the margin leaks in the gaps between them
The POS knows what sold, the spreadsheet knows what it cost, the supplier invoice arrives by email, the delivery app owns the customer, and the walk-in cooler knows what is about to spoil — and none of them agree with each other. In a business that already runs on single-digit margins, that gap is where the money quietly goes: over-ordered stock that spoils, dishes priced below cost because ingredient prices moved, 86’d items during peak service, and reorder decisions made on last week’s guess. We build the software to close it — and we are honest that food businesses come to us from two different places. Some need a platform built; others need the tools they already run connected, extended, or selectively replaced.
- 01
Outgrown Toast, Square, or the off-the-shelf stack
The generic POS got you open, but multi-location reporting, modifier logic, catering quotes, or the workflow you actually run doesn’t fit the template anymore — and every gap is another add-on subscription and another export to reconcile by hand.
- 02
Margin bleeds silently in a spreadsheet
Food cost lives in a workbook that’s already out of date. When an ingredient price jumps, nobody sees it until the P&L lands weeks later — and by then you’ve been selling a hero dish below cost for a month.
- 03
Multi-location and multi-brand chaos
Restaurant groups and ghost-kitchen operators run several brands and locations off tools built for one. Orders route to the wrong station, each site reports differently, and there’s no single backend that sees the whole operation.
- 04
Distribution still runs on phone, email, and paper
Food distributors take orders by phone and fax, price each customer from memory, and dispatch routes on a whiteboard. There’s no customer portal, no driver app, and no way to see which perishable routes are about to lose money to spoilage.
- 05
No single view of sales, cost, or stock
Leadership asks for margin by item, waste by location, or supplier performance — and someone rebuilds it by hand from POS exports and invoices, days later. By the time the report lands, the prep, purchasing, and pricing decisions it should have informed are already made.
The software we build — from the kitchen to the customer, from the supplier to the shelf
Seven software layers that connect food operations end to end. We build them from scratch or on top of the POS, accounting, and ordering platforms you already run. And where your kitchen and sales data is ready to work harder, an AI layer sharpens the decisions — menu engineering, demand forecasting, supplier price intelligence — not a gimmick bolted onto every screen.

Software built for traceability and safe payments — with an honest line around what we build and what we don’t.
Food software sits on top of two things a business can’t afford to get wrong: the safety trail behind what it sells and the money it takes at the point of sale. We build the software infrastructure for traceability — lot and batch tracking, expiry and FIFO enforcement, supplier data capture, recall-readiness reporting, and tamper-evident audit trails — engineered to support FSMA 204 recordkeeping and HACCP data-capture obligations. And we build PCI-aligned, tokenized payment flows so a POS can move money without becoming a cardholder-data liability. What we do not do is write your HACCP or FDA food-safety plan — that is a regulatory domain, and we partner with food-safety consultants who own it. This is a deliberate, defensible scope: we give your safety program a system of record, not a compliance guarantee.
Lot & batch traceability by design
Lot numbers, batch codes, and supplier data are captured at receiving and carried downstream to the customer — so one-up, one-back traceability is a query, not a warehouse scramble when a supplier issues a notice.
Recall-readiness reporting & audit trails
Tamper-evident audit logs and recall-readiness reports let you scope an affected lot, identify who received it, and produce records for a mock or real recall in minutes — the recordkeeping backbone FSMA 204 expects.
PCI-aligned, tokenized payment flows
POS and online payments run through tokenized, PCI-aligned flows on established processors (Stripe, Square, Adyen) — so card data stays out of your database and the platform can take money without becoming a cardholder-data liability.
Expiry, FIFO & cold-chain data capture
Expiry-date management, FIFO enforcement, and cold-chain temperature capture are engineered into inventory workflows — so perishable stock is used in the right order and out-of-range events are logged, not lost.
Least-privilege access across sites & vendors
Role-based access for kitchen staff, managers, drivers, and wholesale customers, with scoped service accounts across every location and integration — so each role and partner sees exactly what it should and no more.
Encryption everywhere
AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit, with secrets held in a managed vault and key-rotation policies that satisfy SOC 2 and enterprise-customer security reviews.
Audit-ready, and willing to prove it
We provide the architecture documentation, data-flow diagrams, and traceability records your operations, finance, and food-safety partners need — and we walk your HACCP or FDA consultant through the data model so their plan and our system of record line up. We build the software layer; we don’t author the regulatory plan.
Food & beverage isn’t one buyer — and we don’t build like it is
A restaurant group unifying three locations, a ghost-kitchen operator routing five brands, and a regional distributor replacing phone orders share almost nothing about how they buy or what they need built. We lead with food service and distribution, extend into the software layer for food manufacturing, and are honest about which track you’re on.

The integration layer that ends the disconnected-tools problem — POS, accounting, ERP, and delivery-marketplace APIs stitched into one coherent system.
Data Engineering
The pipelines that pull POS, invoice, inventory, and delivery feeds into one analytics-ready view of sales, cost, and stock — the foundation every food-cost dashboard sits on.
ML Development
Demand forecasting, menu-performance prediction, spoilage reduction, and reorder and churn models trained on your kitchen and sales data — not generic templates.
Intelligent Automation
Agentic workflows for automated reorder triggers, prep-quantity planning, supplier price alerts, and low-margin item flags across the systems you’ve connected.
Generative AI
Natural-language querying of sales and food-cost data, plus AI-assisted menu descriptions and content — built on governed LLMs with human oversight.
Questions food & beverage operators ask
What kinds of food & beverage software do you build?
We build the software layer that runs food businesses end to end: restaurant and food-service management platforms (order and table management, kitchen coordination, staff scheduling, catering and multi-location reporting); custom POS and digital ordering (dine-in, takeaway, delivery, modifier logic, KDS integration, kiosks); menu, recipe and food-costing software (ingredient-level cost tracking, recipe scaling, menu-engineering dashboards, vendor price comparison); food distribution and supply-chain platforms (customer portals, route scheduling, driver apps, account-specific pricing); food traceability and inventory (lot tracking, expiry and FIFO, waste logging, recall-readiness reporting); and F&B analytics and BI. We lead with food service and distribution, and extend into the software layer for food manufacturers.
Are you going to force us off Toast or Square onto something new?
No. Most food businesses don’t need to rip out their POS — they need it connected to everything else and extended where the template stops. If Toast, Square, or Clover is working, we build on top of it: integrations to your accounting and ERP, delivery-marketplace API bridges, custom reporting, and the workflows the off-the-shelf tool doesn’t cover. If you’ve genuinely outgrown it — multi-brand routing, catering, complex modifier logic, or requirements no platform supports cleanly — we build fully custom. Integration-first is usually the lowest-commitment, highest-value first engagement.
How does the food-costing software actually protect our margins?
This is where most operators bleed money silently. We build recipe and food-costing software as a margin-intelligence tool, not just a recipe database: ingredient-level cost tracking that updates as supplier prices move, recipe scaling, menu-engineering dashboards that show profit margin by item, and vendor price comparison with cost-change alerts. The moment an ingredient price jumps, you see which dishes just went underwater — instead of finding out weeks later on the P&L. Where your data is ready, an AI layer recommends which items to promote, reprice, or retire based on margin and velocity.
Can you build software for food distribution and wholesale?
Yes — it’s one of our strongest F&B tracks. For food distributors and wholesalers we build customer ordering portals that replace phone-and-email orders, account-specific pricing catalogs, route-based delivery scheduling, driver mobile apps, lot tracking, and invoicing — integrated with QuickBooks or NetSuite. Because many distributors run their own fleet, this often reaches into our Logistics work: route optimization, fleet management, and last-mile tracking layered on top of order management. One client, two verticals covered. An AI demand-forecasting layer can predict pre-build quantities by customer and SKU to cut spoilage on perishable routes.
Do you handle food safety and FDA / HACCP compliance?
We build the software infrastructure for traceability and food safety — lot and batch tracking from supplier to customer, expiry and FIFO enforcement, cold-chain data capture, supplier audit trails, and recall-readiness reporting engineered to support FSMA 204 recordkeeping and HACCP data-capture obligations. What we do not do is author your HACCP or FDA food-safety plan — that’s a regulatory domain, and we partner with food-safety consultants who own it and make sure their plan and our system of record line up. It’s an honest, defensible scope: we give your safety program a system of record, not a compliance guarantee.
We’re a ghost kitchen running several brands — can you unify the backend?
Yes. Multi-brand order routing is a defining ghost- and dark-kitchen problem: orders arrive across Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub, and your own channels for several brands, and the kitchen has no unified backend. We build a custom ordering and kitchen-management platform that aggregates every channel and brand into one order stream, routes tickets to the right stations, and gives you a single operational and financial view across the whole operation — instead of juggling a separate tablet per marketplace per brand.
We’re a DTC food brand — can you build our storefront and subscriptions?
Yes, and this is where food and beverage overlaps with our Retail work. For specialty and DTC food brands we build custom D2C storefronts past template limits, subscription and recurring-box engines, and reorder- and churn-prediction models trained on purchase history to predict next-order timing and flag customers about to lapse. We tie the storefront to inventory and fulfillment (including 3PLs) so the front end and the back end share one picture of stock.
Where does AI actually fit in food & beverage software?
AI is an intelligence layer that activates once your kitchen and sales data is connected — not a gimmick on every screen. In practice: menu engineering that surfaces which items to promote, reprice, or retire based on margin, velocity, and customer preference; demand forecasting that predicts daily prep quantities to minimize waste and prevent 86’d items during peak service; supplier price intelligence that monitors ingredient-cost fluctuations across vendors and flags when switching improves margin; and reorder prediction that, for DTC food brands and subscription boxes, forecasts churn and next-order timing. Each one makes the underlying POS, costing, distribution, or analytics system sharper over time.
Let’s connect how you run — from the kitchen to the customer.
Food & beverage data is scattered across a POS, a food-cost spreadsheet, supplier invoices, and a delivery app — and none of them agree. Start with a consultation: we’ll map the platforms you already run, whether you’re in food service, distribution, or manufacturing, and the fastest realistic route from a dozen disconnected tools to one operating picture.
