The work behind your food
Know what you have. Plan what comes next.
Connect stock, recipes, preparation and purchasing so the details behind your food stay close to the work.
Inventory
Know what’s on hand and what’s running low. Track ingredients, packaging, receipts and stock movements in the same workspace.
Recipes
Keep ingredients, yields and recipe versions together. Convert ingredient and packaging quantities without losing the detail behind a batch.
Production
Plan and record each batch, with its recipes, ingredient use and output connected. Keep preparation and food cost in step.
Purchasing
Keep vendors, purchase orders and receiving together. Follow incoming quantities and purchase costs into your inventory.
Food cost & reporting
Follow purchase costs into inventory, recipes and finished batches. Review cost-of-goods reports, with incomplete cost information clearly identified.
Spot what needs attention
Check hours, preparation time, capacity and ordering readiness before you begin. Clear setup guidance helps you find and resolve issues.
Products, services & experiences
There is more than one way to serve.
Your business may revolve around a harvest, a client brief or a full room. Start with what you offer, then choose the setup that supports it.
Farm shares & regular offerings
CSA shares, seasonal produce and prepared food: keep what you offer, what is available and the work behind it connected.
Catering, quotes & contracts
Make room for work that starts with a conversation. Bring your client requirements and service details into planning the food.
Ticketed events & bookings
Offer tastings, gatherings and food experiences, with ticketing and booking options suited to your services and venues.

Good to know
Questions before you get started.
Does Chyve take a cut of my sales?
Chyve doesn't charge commission on your sales or fees on your transactions. Processing and courier charges are additional and billed by your providers. Chyve packages and optional services cost extra.
See pricing and setupWhere are my operational and customer records stored?
Records live with your Food Operations installation: on your existing WordPress website and hosting, or in your Chyve-hosted workspace. Chyve's own account/billing records are separate.
Payment providers hold information needed for payments; optional connections exchange relevant data; support may need authorized access. Exports cover supported configuration and inventory reference data. Configuration restore points are not full-site backups. You manage Software backups; Hosted and Site + Ops include daily service backups.
Read about your recordsDo I have to offer online ordering?
Online ordering is an optional part of your setup in all three packages. Use the tools without selling online.
Compare the three packagesCan you help me switch from my current tools?
Bring your existing website and the records you want to keep. We review what can move, agree the scope and price, and plan the handover with you. Assisted setup is included with a Chyve website build.
