what is it? whats it do?
last post a bunch of you mentioned building your own internal tools
if youve built or are building something for your roastery, what part of the workflow does it cover? whether it's an actual app or a sheets thing. you keeping it internal or thinking about selling it?
did you build it because nothing existed or because the existing stuff was too expensive/clunky?
ran cropster ~18 months finally bailed. bill kept growing every time we added a seat and we used maybe 30% of what we paid for. felt like renting enterprise software for a small business problem.
back on artisan + a pile of google sheets. inventory in one sheet, costs in another, recipes in a third, cupping notes in a notebook somewhere. every sunday I'm copy pasting numbers out of .alog files for 2 hours. wife is calling it spreadsheet day now
running ~3-7k lbs/month, one production machine + a sample roaster, small team.
anyone at this kind of scale what are you actually using?
inventory and green tracking, cost per lb / margin per sku, not retyping every roast (without cropster pricing), getting multiple roasters into the same system
half the tools i find in this space look (and feel) like they were built in 2012. anything actually feel modern or am i missing something?
