Don't start from scratch.
You do not need clean spreadsheets or a perfect setup process. CottageOps works with the real-world data small food businesses already have: Square exports, CSV templates, rough spreadsheets, receipts, images, PDFs, and raw expense notes.

Your business, translated into what needs attention.
Business Health brings together sales, expenses, products, events, markets, customers, pricing, and margins so you can see sales drivers, cost drivers, market drivers, and recommended next steps in one place.
Sales drivers
See which products, order patterns, and customers are creating momentum.
Cost drivers
Identify the expense categories and larger costs pressuring margins.
Market drivers
Compare markets, pop-ups, and locations so effort follows performance.
Recommended next steps
Move from records to action with recommendations about pricing, products, markets, and costs.
Your price might look right on paper and still be wrong.
Cost plus margin tells you what should work. CottageOps also looks at real sales behavior, demand, customer response, and unit economics to recommend whether a product price should hold, rise, or be reviewed.
Most tools show margins. CottageOps helps determine whether the price itself is actually working.
Hold Price
The price appears to fit current demand and unit economics.
Raise Price
Strong demand or weak margin suggests the price may be too low.
Review Price
Mixed behavior or margin pressure deserves a closer look.
Built around how farmers markets, pop-ups, and small food businesses actually sell.
CottageOps is designed for cottage kitchens, specialty food makers, small batch production, seasonal demand, product variety, event calendars, repeat locations, and market days where every hour matters.
