From first recipe to fulfilled order.

Cottage HQ ties together the everyday work behind a cottage food business, from costing recipes to planning batches, printing labels, taking orders, and serving repeat customers.

THE BIG PICTURE

Three steps. One system. No spreadsheets.

Set up, launch, run — no engineer required.

STEP 01

Set up your business

Add your recipes, pantry, products, pickup rules, business details, and compliance records.

STEP 02

Launch your storefront

Publish a professional storefront with products, checkout, pickup windows, and customer ordering.

STEP 03

Run each production week

Use batch planning, labels, orders, customers, analytics, and support tools to run each week with less chaos.

THE FULL WORKFLOW

Every stage, step by step.

Each step connects to the next so nothing gets dropped.

STEP 01 / 13

Idea

Start with what you want to bake. Recipes are the foundation — costs flow from here.

THE SWITCH

What changes when you have one system.

Before / after the spreadsheet-and-DM era.

Before Cottage HQ

  • •Spreadsheets for costs that never quite match reality
  • •DMs and texts for orders, lost in the scroll
  • •Sticky notes for inventory that someone always forgets
  • •Manually formatted labels for every batch
  • •Pickup details scattered across messages and memory
  • •No clear visibility into which products actually make money

After Cottage HQ

  • Real cost-per-unit live from FIFO pantry lots
  • Central order flow across web, drops, custom, and walk-in
  • FIFO pantry tracking with expiration and low-stock alerts
  • Smart-field labels that auto-fill from each recipe
  • Pickup windows with capacity limits enforced at checkout
  • Per-product margin reports — see where the money actually is
