EVERYTHING YOU NEED

One app. The whole business.

Seven core areas plus 140+ more features built specifically for cottage food.

Real-Cost Recipe Pricing

Recipes that know your real costs — weight conversions, sub-recipes, multi-variant pricing — paired with the actual price you paid for the ingredients in your pantry. Cost-per-unit updates the moment a new shipment lands at a different price.

FIFO Pantry & Inventory Tracking

Every ingredient purchase becomes a tracked lot with its own cost and expiration. When you log a batch, the oldest lot deducts first — so batch costs reflect what you actually paid and old stock leaves the pantry before it expires.

Production Planning & Batch Logs

Plan bakes on a calendar that respects your hours, time blocks, and pantry. Log each batch as you produce it — ingredients deduct, real cost and yield record themselves, and capacity warnings fire before you over-promise.

Cottage Food Compliance Tools

Certifications, licenses, kitchen photos, and renewal reminders in one organized place — plus a state-by-state cottage food law reference for what you can sell, where, and what your label must include.

Custom Label Designer & PDF Export

A drag-and-drop label editor with Avery sheet layouts and smart fields. Ingredient lists, allergen statements, batch numbers, and net weight auto-fill from each recipe — print-ready PDFs are one click away.

Professional Customer Storefront

A polished mobile-first storefront at your-slug.cottageheadquarters.com or your own custom domain. Built-in cart, checkout, pickup-window scheduling, drops, and subscriptions — your customers buy, you bake.

Customer CRM & Order Management

One inbox for storefront orders, custom-quote requests, drops, subscriptions, and DM intake. Every customer has a profile with order history, allergies, pickup preferences, and lifetime value — so nothing about a regular gets forgotten.

See all 150+ features

Drops, subscriptions, discounts, loyalty, email broadcasts, marketing automations, a branded inbox, a full website builder, and 100+ more.
