Work in the wild

Mendo Soup Co.
From spreadsheets to clarity.

A local soup company selling at farmers markets, catering events, and online. The owner knew their food was good — they just couldn't see whether it was profitable.

The problem

Flying blind

They were spending money on ingredients, packaging, and labor with no clear picture of what each soup actually cost to make — or whether their prices were right.

What we built

A custom back-office app

ProfitSoup — a private web app that replaced every spreadsheet. Snap a receipt, and AI extracts and categorizes every line item automatically. Ingredients flow into recipes. Recipes flow into cost calculations. Cost calculations suggest a sell price at their target margin.

The result

A real P&L, finally

Their Squarespace orders, farmers market cash sales, and labor costs are now unified in one dashboard. They can see — in real time — which soups are profitable, which events perform best, and exactly where their money is going.

AI receipt scanning

No more manual entry

Every grocery run, supply order, and market expense is logged by photographing the receipt. The system extracts merchant, date, and every line item — and links ingredients to their recipe library automatically.

Event planning

Market days, handled

They plan each farmers market in the app — which soups, how many batches, who's working. It generates a shopping list, a prep timeline, and tracks revenue against labor cost for every event.

The bottom line

More time making soup

They spend less time on bookkeeping and more time in the kitchen. The system does the math. They make the decisions — with actual numbers behind them.

"You started this business to do something meaningful.
The admin was never the point.
Let's get you back to the work that feeds you."

The Quiet Work approach

Who we are

Local.
Experienced. Here.

I'm a technologist who chose Mendocino County — not for the lifestyle brochure version, but for the real thing. The fog, the pace, the community. The way people here actually know each other.

I believe technology should serve human experience, not consume it. Every system I build is designed to disappear — so you have more room for the conversations, the craft, the morning walks, the reasons you chose this life.
