We're building the tools we wished existed for our own family food business—and we're looking for founding partners to build them with us.
My parents run an allergen-friendly confectionery. For years, they managed everything on paper and spreadsheets: production schedules, inventory counts, lot numbers, costs.
It worked, until it didn't. As they grew, the spreadsheets became a mess. Things slipped through the cracks. Simple questions like "what's expiring this week" or "what did that batch actually cost" took too long to answer.
I build software for a living, with experience at companies like Klaviyo and Intercom that help hundreds of thousands of small businesses grow. I figured finding my parents the right tool would take an afternoon.
It didn't. The enterprise systems had the features but cost six figures and took months to implement. The smaller tools were too generic, built for general manufacturing, not food and bev.
What my parents needed was simple: track inventory through multi-stage production, manage expiration dates, trace lots forward and backward, understand true batch costs, and speed up daily work with things like barcode scanning. Nothing exotic. Just the basics, done right, at a reasonable price.
I started talking to other food producers. Turns out, many had the same problem.
So I called my co-founder. He's one of the best engineers I've worked with. We've built software together for six years and have over 20 years of experience between us.
Batch Better is what we're building: production planning, inventory, traceability, and costing for food producers who've outgrown spreadsheets but don't need enterprise overhead.

See if you qualifyWe're a small, obsessed team.
Generic inventory tools don't understand that your raw materials become WIP, and your WIP becomes finished goods—often with variable yields and tight expiration windows. We build for the full picture: ingredient tracking, production planning, batch costing, and traceability that actually works during a mock recall.
In food, a gram of difference changes the recipe. In software, one overlooked detail changes the experience. We hold ourselves to the same rigor you bring to your production line—whether that's calculating true batch costs or surfacing what's expiring before it's a problem.
We're not building enterprise MRP with a hundred features you'll never touch. If it doesn't help you plan production, manage inventory, trace a lot, or understand your costs, it doesn't go in.
You started a food business to create, not to wrestle with spreadsheets that can't track a batch from receiving to shipment—let alone manage recipes, costs, or inventory.
We believe makers deserve software as thoughtfully crafted as the products they make. Our mission is to give you the operational precision to grow, so your focus stays where it belongs: on the food.
