Spinach Creations

Software for businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets.

Spinach Labs is our software division. We take a small number of projects each year, and you deal with the people building yours from the first conversation to the last.

The part that matters most starts after launch.

We put backups, recovery and documentation at the start of a project instead of the end. Your data outranks the feature list.

Hospitality taught the other half. We ran the kind of business whose day stops when the system does.

How we can work together

Three ways to start. Pick the one that matches where your problem is now.

Discovery

Work out what needs building, before anyone commits to building it.

A short, paid engagement where we learn how your business runs, find where the time is going, and write up what we would build and what it would take. You own that document, and you are free to take it to another shop to build.

Best for: You know something is wrong but not exactly what to fix

A few days

Build

A defined piece of software, scoped up front and delivered.

We agree the scope before we start, so you know the number going in. You see working software early and often. When something needs to change, we talk through the trade-offs and you decide.

Best for: You know what you need and want it built right

Scoped per project

Ongoing support

Someone who answers the phone when it breaks.

Agreed response times, a defined way to reach us, and someone who already knows your system. We wrote the code, so we know what breaks.

Best for: You depend on the software and cannot afford it being down

Monthly, agreed up front

Whether this is a fit

A good fit

  • You are running something important on spreadsheets, paper, or a tool that never quite fit
  • You know your operation well enough to explain where the time goes
  • You want to talk to the person doing the work
  • You want a straight answer about whether a thing is worth building

Not a good fit

  • You need a team of ten and a six-month roadmap
  • You are collecting bids and choosing the cheapest
  • You want a consumer app built for venture scale
  • You need it live next week

What that looks like built

Cert to Table is hospitality certification software. It runs fully offline, reads in three languages, and handles its own purchases. We built the study content, the app, the backend, the store listing and the legal groundwork under it.

We built it because restaurant staff still study for these certifications from photocopied packets.

We take a small number of projects each year.
