Make what sells.
Prove what you made.

For kitchens that make fresh food and deliver it to hospitals, universities and corporate dining.

Shrink Manager® records what your team makes, labels, checks and delivers, as they do it. You see what came back unsold the same day, and the traceability records your buyers and the FDA ask for are already done.

Works alongside the accounting you already run. No replatforming.

The real cost

Product shrink is visible.
Operational shrink is harder to see.

The tray that aged out is the loss you can count. The rest is quieter, and it grows every time you add a site.

1

The food you didn't sell

The batch that outran its orders. The tray that expired in the walk-in. Easy to fix once you see it the same day.

2

The work done twice

Numbers keyed into a production sheet, then again into an invoice. It never shows up as waste. It shows up as headcount.

3

The decision made late

Numbers that arrive at month-end can't change what you make tomorrow.

4

Capture it once

Record the work where it happens. The same count becomes the invoice, the shrink report and tomorrow's order.

See it in a minute.

Short films of the real screens. Pick one.

Made. Sold. Gone.

What you made, what sold and what didn't, side by side. The gap feeds tomorrow's order.

The problem is flagged when it's recorded, and it stays flagged in the record. Nobody writes it up later from memory.

All figures come from Anu Sushi LLC, an affiliated fresh-food producer running Shrink Manager in daily production. Those kitchens supply hospital systems, university dining and corporate dining. Commercial launch beyond that operation is underway, with the first external customers targeted for 2027.

Early results

Shrink came in below expected,
six months running.

In April 2026, Anu Sushi switched on Shrink Manager's automated ordering, which builds each order from the last twelve months of sales. Here is what the first six months showed, even as the volume of food ordered kept growing.

6 of 6

months below expected

Every month from April to September, including August, the seasonal high every year.

1.3 pts

lower shrink than predicted

Compared with what the pattern before the change predicted at the same volume.

After adjusting for volume, location and time of year.

Measured by our own team at Anu Sushi LLC, an affiliated producer, April to September 2026. The data can't rule out every other change made at the same time, and the ordering has had only half a year of new sales to learn from. We'll update these figures after a full year.

Built for FSMA 204. Designed to travel.

Shrink Manager was built around the FDA's Food Traceability Rule and what North American institutional buyers ask for. Food safety rules, checkpoints, forms and terms are set up in configuration rather than code, so the same system is designed to extend to other countries' frameworks. Deployments outside the U.S. are scoped with in-country partners.

WhereFramework
United StatesFSMA 204 (Food Traceability Rule), FSPCA HACCP, Seafood HACCP, PCQI framework
European UnionGeneral Food Law Regulation (EC) 178/2002, EU Food Hygiene Regulations
United KingdomFood Safety Act, BRCGS Global Standards (Food Safety, Storage and Distribution)
Gulf Cooperation CouncilGSO food safety standards (national adoption)
SingaporeFood Act and Singapore Food Agency traceability requirements
JapanFood Sanitation Act HACCP requirements
Australia & New ZealandFSANZ Food Standards Code

Production-proven against U.S. requirements. The other frameworks reflect how the system is built; each is scoped and set up with an in-country partner.
