to go live — we handle the full setup
The Problem
Counting by hand works until life gets busy—and then it doesn't.
Handwritten logs. Group chat threads. Opening baristas counting 40+ items from a delivery by hand. Reorders sent from memory or skipped entirely.
Manual tracking works on slow days. But one sick shift or a busy rush, and it all falls apart — leaving you to clean it up later.
From Reddit, Square Community, and G2 — real operators, unprompted.
We set it up around your shop and keep it running. Your team barely has to think about it.
These are the moments that eat your time — and nobody's tracking them.

The Savings Pitch
You're probably either paying for something that doesn't fit — or doing this manually.
Most small beverage shops are on tools built for restaurants, or running on spreadsheets and memory. Neither actually solves the problem.

Without us
With us
Opener logs 40+ items from the delivery by hand. Takes 25 minutes. Every morning.
Opener taps what arrived. System updates stock, flags anything short. Same info, 3 minutes.
Oat milk runs out mid-service. Nobody flagged it at open.
You get a low-stock alert the night before — before your first customer.
Reordering means a group chat message and hoping someone follows up.
Stock hits par level, system drafts the order. You approve with one tap.
Prep planning lives in the owner’s head or a spreadsheet that’s a day behind.
System looks at yesterday’s sales and tells you what to prep. Based on actual data.
How It Works
We do the setup. You get the result.
We map your shop's workflow
Your menu items, your suppliers, your par levels, your shift structure — so the system reflects how your shop actually runs, not a generic template.
We build and configure it for you
No platform to log into and set up yourself. We configure daily receiving, par alerts, prep prompts, and reorder drafts. Built around your items.
Your team uses it with almost no learning curve
Opener taps what arrived. System updates stock. You get an alert if anything is low. No data entry, no new app, no training required.
We keep it running as your menu changes
New seasonal drinks, supplier changes, updated par levels — we handle the updates. You don't manage anything.
