Why This Matters
Most home food businesses fail at scale because they:
Don’t track sales consistently
Don’t know what products actually sell
Lose visibility on profit vs revenue
Run out of stock unexpectedly
Can’t identify seasonal demand patterns
This sales log fixes that by creating simple operational discipline.
