Nothing dies on the back shelf.

Backshelf watches the days left on everything perishable in your shop and tells you what to sell, mark down, or move — before it goes in the bin. No POS to replace. No barcode gun. Two minutes a day.

Free during pilot · then from $29/mo

The bin is quietly your most expensive supplier.

6 bunches tulips
tossed · –$54
4.5 kg pork shoulder
past date · –$42
9 sourdough boules
day-old rack · –$27
For most small perishable shops that's $150–$400 a month — found money, if you catch it two days earlier.
How it works

Three moments. That's the whole system.

WHEN A DELIVERY LANDS

Log it in under a minute

Tap the supplier — your usual order loads with each item's usual shelf life already filled in. Fix only what's different. No printed date? Backshelf counts from the day it arrived.

ANY TIME YOU LOOK

See days left on everything

Every batch in the shop, sorted by what to use first. A glance tells you what's fresh, what's fading, and what's on borrowed time.

EVERY MORNING

Do today's three things

Backshelf hands you a short list — mark this down, front-of-case that, check the new supplier's stems — each with the dollars at risk. Tap done. Open the shop.

2 min/day
Built for shops like yours

If it wilts, spoils, or goes stale — it's yours.

Florists

Vase life by supplier, not guesswork. Backshelf learns that one grower's peonies last six days and another's last three.

Butchers

Cut-in-house trays and counter stock tracked from receiving day — sell-through prompts before anything hits its date.

Bakers

Today's bake, yesterday's rack. Know what to mark down at 3pm instead of bagging it for the bin at close.

The part nobody else handles: most of your stock has no printed expiry date. Backshelf is built for undated perishables — it works from when stock arrived and how long it usually lasts, and gets smarter every week you use it.
