ok2eat
For small food businesses

Stop throwing out cases before you can move them.

ok2eat tracks per-item expiry and reminds you before stock goes bad — built consumer-first, but the data model fits small grocers, cafes, caterers, and convenience stores. We’re talking to operators right now to figure out whether a business tier is worth building. Building reach out for more information about testing and collaboration.

What you’d get

Per-item expiry tracking

Every item has its own best-by date. Add by hand, scan a receipt, or import a CSV from your POS export.

Reminders before stock goes bad

Daily email or push notification with what’s expiring in the next 1-7 days. Configurable by category.

USDA-backed shelf life

5,000+ items mapped to the USDA FoodKeeper database. The app knows ground beef lasts 1-2 days in the fridge before you do.

Multi-user access

Your team shares one inventory view. Add a staff member, they see what’s on hand. Update items, everyone’s synced.

Where we are honestly

Today

Per-item expiry, reminders, FoodKeeper lookup, multi-user via households, receipt scan, recipe suggestions. This is what ok2eat does for ~hundreds of consumer users. You’d use the same app with a CSV import path for SKU lists.

Next, with pilot input

Per-case tracking, free-form locations, multi-user roles, promotion-suggestion engine, custom reminder windows. These are 1-6 weeks of dev each. We build them if pilot partners say they’d pay for them.

Eventually

POS integration (Toast Retail first). 5-7 weeks of dev plus Toast partner-program approval. We commit to building it when ~5 pilots tell us they need it.
