Know what's actually selling
A simple dashboard that combines your sales data and tells you which products are driving revenue, when they sell, and which ones aren't pulling their weight.
A tiny software team, on call
What would you build if you had a developer?
You probably have a dozen ideas for making your coffee shop easier to run. You just don't have a developer sitting next to you. We do.
Your coffee shop has software. It just doesn't have software for everything.
Your POS handles transactions. Your accounting system handles books. Your scheduling software handles schedules.
But what about the weird stuff? The spreadsheet someone updates every Monday. The report you wish you had. The question you can't answer without opening three different systems. The process that somehow takes two hours every week.
That's where we come in. We build the small tools that your existing software doesn't.
Things we could build for a coffee shop
Make your daily numbers useful
Instead of opening five systems every morning, get a simple daily briefing with yesterday's sales, labor, best sellers, unusual changes, and things worth paying attention to.
Predict inventory
Use historical sales and other signals to estimate what you'll need next week, and identify what you're likely to run short on.
Bring customers back
Identify customers who haven't visited recently and create a simple system for targeted re-engagement.
Stop living in spreadsheets
Have a spreadsheet that somebody spends five hours a week maintaining? Let's turn it into an application.
Build the thing your POS doesn't
Your POS is good at selling coffee. It doesn't know every question you have about your business. We can build the missing piece.
You don't need to know what AI can do.
You just need to know what's driving you crazy.
You don't need to understand machine learning. You don't need to figure out which AI tool to buy. You don't need to learn how to write prompts.
Just tell us what takes too long, what requires too many spreadsheets, or what you wish you could see. We'll figure out what could be built.
Small software. Big leverage.
Projects are intentionally small and practical. We're not selling a platform — we're building the specific thing you need.
Analytics
Turn the data you already have into answers you can actually use.
- Sales dashboards
- Profitability analysis
- Customer analysis
- Inventory forecasting
- Operational reporting
Automation
Make repetitive work happen without someone babysitting it.
- Daily reports
- Data collection
- Spreadsheet workflows
- Customer follow-up
- Document processing
Custom tools
Build the little application that doesn't exist yet.
- Internal dashboards
- Quoting tools
- Scheduling helpers
- Operational apps
- Specialized calculators
No six-month software project.
The goal is experimentation and usefulness, not enormous implementations.
- 01
Tell us the problem
Give us the messy version. We don't need a requirements document.
- 02
We figure out what to build
We'll determine whether software, automation, analytics, or AI is actually useful.
- 03
We build it
Small, focused, useful.
- 04
You use it
If it works, great. If it doesn't, we change it.
If I walked into your coffee shop tomorrow, here's what I'd build first.
I'd start with the data you already have. Then I'd build one simple owner dashboard:
- Yesterday's sales
- Sales by hour
- Best and worst products
- Labor as a percentage of sales
- Unusual changes
- Customer activity
- Inventory signals
“What did you look at today that this dashboard didn't tell you?”
That's how we'd build the second version.
The technology changed.
A few years ago, building a custom tool for a small business could mean a big software project and a big bill. That's changing.
Modern development tools, cloud infrastructure, automation, and AI make it possible to build useful, highly specific software much faster.
That means a small business can finally afford something that used to be reserved for companies with engineering departments: software built specifically for them.
Questions owners actually ask
What's the thing you wish your coffee shop could do?
Tell us what you're trying to accomplish. It doesn't need to be a good idea. It doesn't need to be technical. It doesn't even need to make sense yet. We'll tell you what we'd build.
