CEO / Owner summary
Farm stands and local producers get a first-class onboarding path (signup category, nav theme, Apps hub) without a separate product fork. Revenue is the same stack: tracked goods, online ordering surface, and in-person sales.

Recommended workflow
- Inventory — Create products (e.g. eggs by dozen/half-dozen, honey by jar size). Use clear units and SKUs.
- Admin → Storefront — Assign catalog/menu to the storefront; set branding.
- Public URL —
https://{your-host}/{tenantSlug}/store(shown on the hub when tenant context has a slug). - POS — Ring sales at farm stand or farmers market (
/pos,/pos/mobile).
Compliance (non-software)
Cottage food, egg handling, labeling, and sales tax rules vary by state. Operators remain responsible for compliance; the platform provides operations tooling, not legal advice.
Future (not required for v1)
- Pickup windows / daily order caps (storefront or order rules).
- CSA-style subscriptions (larger product).
- Lot / traceability fields in inventory (regulated segments).
