Spinach Creations

Custom software for small and mid‑sized businesses.

If the important parts of your business run on spreadsheets, paper, or software that never fit, that is what we build for. We take on a few client projects at a time, and you work directly with the people building yours. When the technology you already have is the problem, Spinach Consulting grades it, including the vendors you are already paying.

We came out of restaurants, then spent a career keeping other companies’ systems online. We know what a business loses on the day its software stops working, and we build for that day.

How we got here

A whole day, planned.

Or just one stop, right now.

Decide plans a whole day: where to eat, what to do, and in what order. It makes the call and gives a reason for each stop.

Your first 3 plans are free. No card needed.

iPhone app coming soon.

A sample day in Decide: a ticket for Saturday in Berlin, Maryland, seven stops and 72 degrees and sunny, then a timeline starting with Blue Door Bakery at 8:30 AM and Harbor Walk & Lighthouse at 9:30 AM, each with its reason.
Quick Spin in Decide: a departures board showing one pick, Blue Door Bakery, a bakery 0.4 miles away and open now, with the reason it was picked and a Get Directions button.

The places are made up. The screens are the real app.

What we do

An aisle of server racks and patch cabling in a data center.

Spinach Labs

Software for the work you are still doing by hand

Our software division. We build our own products and take on a few client projects at a time. You work with the people writing the code.

How we build
A relief model of layered contour ridges in green on charcoal, the ridgelines running off the right edge.

Spinach Consulting

The IT decisions nobody in-house can make

Our consulting division. We take the technology decisions off your plate, and write assessments you can act on. Twelve years keeping other companies' systems running came first.

How we advise
Nine people stand in a row with their backs turned, holding hands with their arms raised, above a still pool at sunrise with mountains behind them.

Spinach Gives

Fundraising for local organizations

We run fundraisers for community non-profits. We state what share reaches the organization before you buy, and publish the figures afterward.

Our mission
Two people at a mountain overlook at sunrise, wearing Spinach the Cow hoodies.

Spinach the Cow

Apparel built around a cow named Spinach

Our merchandise brand. It started as a doodle on a napkin and grew into a product line you can buy.
