Founding Members

For specialty food & craft beverage makers

Your operations,
in their place.

Mise is the operating system for small specialty food and craft beverage producers. FSMA 204 lot tracking, FDA Nutrition Facts, and per-SKU margin — designed for makers between $50K and $1M in revenue, not for plants with a quality department.

The window large retailers now give for trace-data on a single lot.

What slows you
down today.

Three problems we hear in every conversation with specialty food and craft beverage founders. None of them are exciting. All of them quietly cost you margin, time, or shelf space.

i.

Compliance moves faster than your spreadsheets.

FSMA 204 requires lot-level Key Data Elements at every Critical Tracking Event — retrievable in 24 hours. The retailers above you already want 2.

Your Google Sheet wasn't built for that.

Today's workaround · Spreadsheets, paper, or a $200/hr consultant.
ii.

Every formula change means another label revision.

Swapping a supplier. Tweaking a recipe. Reformulating for cost. Each one means recalculating Nutrition Facts panels to 21 CFR 101.9 — a quiet day eaten.

And state cottage food laws change too, across 50 jurisdictions.

Today's workaround · Manual calculations, generic label tools, ESHA-tier enterprise pricing.
iii.

Margin per SKU is invisible until quarter-end.

Egg costs doubled overnight in 2023. Sugar and packaging followed. By the time you see it in QuickBooks, you've already shipped the loss.

Your "best seller" might be your worst earner. You just can't see it yet.

Today's workaround · A custom spreadsheet that nobody updates often enough.

One workspace,
three quiet problems.

Mise connects ingredient costs, recipes, lots, and labels into one place — so a change to any of them updates the rest. Below is the v1 scope. Founding Members shape what comes next.

Module 01

Recipe & BOM

Build recipes once. Mise calculates real-time COGS as ingredient prices move, surfaces per-SKU margin, and flags any product running below your floor.

  • Multi-step production flows
  • Yield & loss tracking
  • Margin alerts per SKU
  • Supplier price history
Module 02

Labels & FDA panels

Generate compliant Nutrition Facts panels and allergen statements directly from your recipe BOM. Update one ingredient — every affected label updates with it.

  • 21 CFR 101.9 compliant panels
  • Allergen & major allergen flags
  • State cottage food templates
  • Export-ready print files
Module 03

Lots & FSMA 204

Assign Traceability Lot Codes automatically. Capture Key Data Elements at receipt, transformation, and shipment. Produce a one-up / one-down trace in seconds.

  • Auto-generated TLCs
  • KDE capture at every CTE
  • One-up / one-down reports
  • Recall scope simulation
“Small food businesses have expressed difficulty managing the financial and operational burden of adopting new traceability systems. Many lack the digital tools to collect, maintain, and share traceability data electronically.” — U.S. FDA, on the FSMA 204 timeline extension · 2025

The Founding Members program

We're picking 25 makers to build this with us.

We don't want a thousand sign-ups. We want twenty-five operators who will tell us, honestly, what's broken — and let us fix it on their behalf. In return, we share the upside.
