Food production teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. Every food production team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Onboarding handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
