When it comes to software in the food industry, food businesses that offer some form of wholesale are faced with a limited set of options:

1.) Pay for a large ERP system

2.) Configure your own toolset with a mix of Shopify, pen/paper, spreadsheets and perhaps a few other tools

With Foodstack, coffee roasters are now able to manage a wide variety of tasks that come out of operating their wholesale operations. From opening up an online storefront to sending an invoice, coffee roasters can manage just about every portion of wholesale under one roof, aside from the actual roasting of coffee beans.

When speaking with our earliest customers, our team often heard the same thing over and over, "I just want a straightforward way to let my customers place orders online and have those appear in one spot for my team."

"I just want a straightforward way to let my customers place orders online and have those appear in one spot for my team."

And so this was the approach our team took when building out the initial version of Foodstack – what was the easiest way for a coffee roaster who offers wholesale to sell online? There are of course other online storefront options out there. Shopify to name one but none of them do a great job at offering the tools food businesses need to sell online.
