14-day free trial · Built for weekly preorder cycles
Meal prep pain
Scaling weekly volume should not break your Sunday workflow
Operators outgrow spreadsheets when preorder volume crosses ~200 meals/week — errors show up in production, not in the CRM.
Sunday spreadsheet reconciliation
Shopify, Woo, and walk-in orders export to different tabs — production quantities are wrong before the first tray hits the oven.
Cutoff chaos
Customers order after the kitchen locked the menu, or ops forget to close the storefront — batch sizes shift mid-prep.
Packing mistakes at handoff
Lane sheets are handwritten or missing dietary flags — mispacks erode trust during pickup and delivery windows.
The solution
One system from weekly menu to packed handoff
OS Kitchen connects preorder cutoffs, confirmed order quantities, production board batches, and packing labels — with honest BETA labels on subscription bridge and live marketplace ops.
- Weekly menu + storefront with cutoff enforcement when configured
- Order hub — storefront, manual, and channel imports in one queue
- Production board — batch quantities from confirmed orders
- Packing sheets grouped by pickup lane or customer
- Meal Prep OS dashboard — menus, cutoffs, forecasting KPIs (BETA)
- 1. Menu + cutoff → storefront
- 2. Orders → production board
- 3. Batch prep → packing lanes
- 4. Handoff → pickup / delivery

Meal prep FAQ
Questions from meal prep operators
Cutoffs, storefront checkout, production board, and trial scope — answered without overpromising automation.
Can OS Kitchen replace my meal prep spreadsheets?
Yes — for the operational loop. Weekly menus, preorder cutoffs, production quantities, and packing flow from confirmed orders instead of manual tab reconciliation.
Do customers order through my own website?
You can run a hosted storefront with Stripe checkout when configured. Orders land in the same hub as manual and counter entries.
How do production quantities get calculated?
The production board aggregates confirmed orders by SKU and supports batch-oriented prep when recipes and yields are configured in your workspace.
Can I still take walk-up or phone orders?
Yes. Manual and counter POS orders use the same catalog and production queue as online preorders.
What is included in the trial?
