Food & Beverage / Retail — Turning weekend-market hustle into a data-driven coffee brand.
From weekend tent to working system — one Excel dashboard at a time.
Mark, founder of Rise & Grind Coffee Co., was running his business from a spare bedroom, tracking inventory by sight and sales through Stripe statements. Without organized data, every restock or event was guesswork.
We built a lightweight Excel-based system with connected tabs for inventory, sales, and expenses. Each update automatically rolled into a simple performance dashboard.
In under a month, Mark went from scattered spreadsheets to a connected Excel dashboard that updated automatically with each sale or expense. He could finally track ROI by event, forecast restocks, and see profit in real time.
Every dashboard begins with structure. We turned scattered notes and Stripe exports into clean tables and linked tabs that powered the insights he relies on today.
Selected frames from the reporting setup — showing the evolution from raw spreadsheets to refreshable dashboards that tell the story behind every sale.
