We implemented NetSuite for $80,000. It couldn't tell us our shrink rate. So we built the tool we actually needed, inside our own production kitchens.

Built From the Inside

Operators built this for themselves first

Shrink Manager was developed inside Anu Sushi LLC, a multi-site institutional food manufacturer supplying hospitals, universities, and corporate dining through Sodexo and Aramark. Every gap this platform fills, the founders hit first.

🏭
Built in live production
Every feature tested across 10 active sites before commercialization. Two-plus years of real shrink and order data, not simulations.
📊
The records are the work
Compliance and shrink analytics come from the same event capture, generated as a byproduct of normal operations.
🔒
Defensible by design
Twelve USPTO provisional patents protect the workflow logic that took years of operational iteration to develop.
The Idea

Shrink is not a reporting problem.
It's an operational decision problem.

Compliance gets you in the door. Operators stay because the same daily capture tells them what to make tomorrow. Four rungs, each one worth more than the last.

01
"We need to comply with FSMA 204."
Lot-level receiving, transformation, and shipping records captured at the point of work. Audit-ready on demand.
Comply
02
"Now we can see what's happening."
Produced, sold, and shrink visible in real time, at the line, by site and product, instead of weeks later at month-end.
See
03
"Now we know where the shrink is."
The produced-vs-sold gap broken out by site, product, day, shift, and SKU. The obvious sources of loss stop being invisible.
Understand
04
"Now we know what to produce tomorrow."
The gap feeds the next order. The forecast tightens, overproduction falls, and margin that used to expire in the walk-in stays in the business.
Decide
The Produced-vs-Sold Loop

Know what to produce tomorrow.

The largest and most addressable shrink is the gap between what you made and what you sold. Capture three numbers at the order level every day, and close it.

Produced
What you made
Production captured at the order level, at the point of work, by the operator doing it.
Sold
What demand took
Delivery and sell-through recorded against the same order, the same day.
Expired
The gap
Product made but never sold. The over-portioned run, the batch that outran its orders, the tray that aged out.
🔄 Feed the gap into the next production order. The forecast tightens. Overproduction falls. The savings recur, every order, every day.
Production shrink is the gap between what you made and what you sold. Close the loop on that gap and you recover margin that month-end accounting never let you see. 15% average reduction, measured across 10 sites over 24 months.

Why Now

FSMA 204 opens the door.
Shrink keeps it open.

FSMA 204 is the catalyst. It creates urgency, budget, and executive attention, and pulls operators into the market now. The FDA deadline is July 20, 2028. Your buyers' deadline is already here: Sodexo, Aramark, and major health systems are requiring lot-level traceability today.

Compliance budgets come and go. Shrink budgets never go away. The same daily capture that produces your audit records closes the produced-vs-sold loop, paying for itself in recovered margin before the deadline arrives.

If you are about to spend money on FSMA 204, you are about to spend money on shrink reduction. Choose your system so the same capture does both.

Works With ERP

Alongside ERP.
Not a spreadsheet.

Enterprise software runs the back office of food operations beautifully. The production floor is a different problem. After a failed NetSuite implementation, we built the missing layer: the compliance and execution work that happens between the production order and the financial system.

Your financial system stays untouched. No replatform.

Pair Shrink Manager with the accounting you already run. Most operators find that's all they need. See the full comparison →
Built for the floor, not the back office
Temperature logs, receiving records, pH monitoring, and cooling documentation, digitized and enforced at the point of work.
Compliance that builds itself
Documentation is generated as your team does the job, not assembled by hand afterward.
One-click FDA-ready reports
Full FSMA 204 traceability generates instantly. Records are timestamped, structured, and audit-defensible.
Order-to-invoice automation
Delivery confirmed in the platform creates the QuickBooks invoice automatically. No manual reconciliation.
See it in your operation.

We're actively deploying with new customers — operators who need compliance and cost visibility now.

We respond within one business day.
