Updates
What we have been building
Everything we have shipped, what we are building, and what people have asked us for. Updated as we work rather than on a schedule.
44 updates
Sell what you buy, like bagels
Bagels, pastries and bottled drinks go on the menu as the items you buy, costed from what you pay for them, with several kinds of one item at their average.
Standards and recipesInventory
Every Admin page reworked
Users, the Directory, notifications, reports, billing and settings are each simpler to use, and the rules for who can change a sign-in email are tighter.
Team and accessChecklistsPlatform
One Library, with every file kept once
The Library is one list with a picture of every image. It notices a file it already has, and a newer copy updates every step and guide that shows it.
Training and coursesPlatform
Staying signed in
On some phones the app opened the sign-in page on every visit, even for someone signed in. It keeps you signed in again, and an affected phone recovers by itself.
Platform
Add a menu from photos
Take photos of your printed menu, or choose them on your phone, and every item comes back with its prices and recipe to check before it is added.
Standards and recipesAssistant
Add a menu from a file
Bring in the menu you already have as a PDF, a document or a spreadsheet. Every item comes back with its prices and recipe to check before it is added.
Standards and recipesAssistantInventory
Make what the menu needs without leaving it
Make a packaging set or an option group from the menu item that needs it, and put a recipe on the menu from Recipes with a price for each size.
Standards and recipesInventory
Add a unit the same way everywhere
Making a new unit, such as a case or a sleeve, now works the same on every page that needs one. Say it the way you would, like 1 Case = 6 Bottle.

Unit economics: profit, break-even and prices
A new Unit economics page adds rent, labor and card fees to what each drink costs, to show profit on a typical day, where it breaks even, and prices to try.
Standards and recipesInventoryAssistant
A searchable page for everything we ship
A searchable record of what we shipped, what we are building and what people asked for, instead of feedback vanishing into a form that never replies.
Platform
A menu that knows what each drink costs
The new Menu lists what you sell and for how much. Owners and admins also see what each size costs to serve, from its recipe to the cup and the free oat milk.
Standards and recipesInventory
iPhone photos work in every upload
An iPhone saves photos as HEIC, which most browsers cannot open. Every place you add a photo now turns one into a JPEG the moment you choose it.
Suppliers and invoicesStandards and recipesChecklistsPlatform
Recipe costs on the cards
Owners and admins now see what each size of a recipe costs on its card, with two filters for the recipes whose costs are not finished yet.
Standards and recipesInventory
Copy a recipe size
Copy a size in a recipe to start the next one from it, and ounces of milk or syrup now count as fluid ounces without a question.
Standards and recipesInventory
What a recipe costs
Link the ingredients in a recipe to your inventory items and see what each size costs to make, priced from the invoices you already capture.
Standards and recipesInventory
Recipes that know what is on your shelf
Make a batch from a recipe and have the stock move on its own. Recipes can now be linked to your items and costed, and making a batch is next to decide.
Standards and recipesInventory
Pack weights and case lines
A pack printed in pounds or gallons now fills in items counted in ounces, and a case spelled out on a receipt is read as the one case it is.
InventorySuppliers and invoices
Receipt review on a phone
Each line of a receipt or an invoice now fits on a phone. Its choices sit on one line, its label says where it stands, and its notes take one line.
InventorySuppliers and invoices
Case packs on invoices
A pack size printed on an invoice line is now read against how the item is counted. A pack that could mean more than one thing is asked about before anything is saved.
InventorySuppliers and invoices
A unit for each supplier
Each supplier can now have its own unit for an item, so the shopping list and receipts read bread in packs from one store and by the loaf from another.
InventorySuppliers and invoices
Units and corrections in receipt review
Each receipt and invoice line now says how many you bought, in which unit, and what that comes to in the unit the item is counted in. Anything misread can be corrected.
InventorySuppliers and invoices
Receipts that print an item more than once
A till that prints one line for each loaf or bag now restocks the whole amount. The review already showed the total, and the stock now moves by it too.
Inventory
Count and buy in any unit
Count an item in bags, cases or any other unit it has. Each item can also say which unit its counts start in and which unit the shopping list shows it in.
Inventory
Asking the assistant about a supplier
The assistant can now tell you which items a supplier is linked to. Asked to remove a supplier, it tells you how, rather than offering a change that would not do it.
AssistantSuppliers and invoices
Stock list imports that get the numbers right
Prices written with a decimal comma, in brackets or as 1.5E+3 now import as the numbers they are, and a batch that fails part way can be undone from its own card.
InventorySuppliers and invoices
Spreadsheet imports that finish
A stock list exported from Excel now imports the whole way through, and uploading it again repairs an import that stopped part way rather than doubling everything.
InventorySuppliers and invoices
Bring your whole stock list over at once
Upload the export from whatever you use now and get your items, units, suppliers and prices, however long the file is.
InventorySuppliers and invoices
Suppliers, and ten screenshots per report
Inventory calls them suppliers now, everywhere you read it, and a feedback report takes ten screenshots instead of three.
Suppliers and invoicesPlatform
Answering the people who report things
The feedback form always promised a follow-up. Nothing in the product could keep that promise. Now it can.
Platform
Invite your team from the page you are on
Inviting people worked. Finding the invite did not. It now sits on the Team page, and takes several addresses at once.
Team and access
Checklist reminders, and alerts when a reading is off
A checklist can remind the people who run it, and tell an owner when a temperature or a reading comes back outside the range you set.
Checklists
The shopping list fits a phone
The list you actually carry round a supplier now fits the screen you carry it on, and a row is marked bought by holding it.
Inventory
Photograph an invoice and the prices land
Take a picture of a supplier invoice or forward it by email, check the lines it read, and the prices go onto your items.
Suppliers and invoicesInventory
A real page for every supplier
Suppliers get a page each with their items, prices and how to order, and two duplicates of the same supplier can be merged back together.
Suppliers and invoices
Checklists that ask for a number, a note or a photo
A checklist item can require a temperature, a short note or a photo, and the box will not tick until it has one.
Checklists
Economics answers what your inventory costs
One page about money: what stock cost you week by week, what it will cost at the current pace, and which items are worth a look.
Inventory
The Forecast Center, and when things run out
One place for what you are using, what runs out next and when to order it, with the item you are reading about open beside the table.
Inventory
Every item on one page, edited a card at a time
The Items page is a list on the left and one item on the right, with five cards you edit separately instead of one long form in a dialog.
Inventory
A new handbook walks you through setting up
Creating a handbook lands in a guided wizard rather than an empty dashboard, and it can draft starter content from documents you already have.
PlatformTraining and courses
Ask for a course and get the whole course
The assistant writes a full course section by section rather than sketching an outline and stopping, and it keeps its place across replies.
AssistantTraining and courses
A waste log built for the person at the bin
Record what actually gets thrown away, in weight, volume or count, with tare containers and conversions that only run when they are honest.
Sustainability
Where waste goes, and what to use up first
Record who hauls each stream away and on what terms, and get suggestions for using up stock before it becomes waste.
SustainabilityInventory
The assistant stopped dying on long jobs
Long pieces of work pause and carry on by themselves instead of being cut off mid-sentence with a connection error.
Assistant
A new look, and a public site that loads fast
One set of brand colours and type across the app, and public pages rebuilt as static files with no framework to download.
Platform
Nothing matches that. Clear the search, or pick a different area.
Tell us what to fix next
Everything on this page started with somebody saying something was awkward. Questions count, and so does telling us a thing is harder than it should be.
