Small-Batch Artisanal Food Traceability

A simple QR code/blockchain system that tracks every ingredient, process step, and worker involved in creating low-volume, high-end artisanal food products.

🎯The Problem

High-end food consumers demand proof of origin and safety, but small producers lack the systems to easily trace ingredients beyond the primary source.

💡The Solution

A mobile app where a chef or worker scans ingredients and timestamps production steps, creating a public-facing, immutable history for the final product.

👥Target Users

Artisanal Bakeries, Craft Breweries, Specialty Cheesemakers, High-End Restaurateurs
