Problem

Small restaurants (revenue $150K–$375K) ordering seasonal vegetables like spring greens and shepherd's purse must manually compare prices across 3–4 channels—wholesale markets, local farm-direct services, and online B2B food supply platforms—wasting 30 minutes to 1 hour each time. During peak season, securing supply itself becomes difficult, often forcing operators to rush-buy at inflated prices.

Solution

Aggregates and compares seasonal ingredient prices in real time across major food distribution channels (wholesale market auction prices, B2B platforms like Sikbom/Oasis, and farm-direct platforms), recommending the lowest-cost channel. Price surge alerts and advance-order reservation features help secure stable supply.

Target: Small restaurant operators with monthly ingredient orders of $2,250–$11,250, and franchise store owners
Revenue Model: Basic free (price comparison), Premium $14/month (price alerts + order reservations), 0.5% commission on brokered orders
Ecosystem Role: Supplier
