About Grain
Charlotte Moche
Founder & Engineer
Grain offers an intuitive platform designed to help small establishments manage food costs with ease. By streamlining inventory, organizing menus, and tracking vendor purchases, Grain helps teams make smarter decisions, and improve overall profitability. With built-in smart querying, users can get instant answers, whether an owner is checking historical spending on an ingredient or staff is verifying ingredients in a dish.
Having spent nearly a decade in hospitality before becoming a software engineer, I designed Grain for the establishments the industry's software tends to overlook: the small restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and bars that need practical tools, built and priced for how they actually operate.
Grain is independently built and maintained, so there's no sales team or outsourced support desk. Owners work directly with me, an engineer who has worked in the restaurant industry. I'm using the connections I have in both industries to make Grain accessible to those who need it, sharing a love for solving problems and great service.
