As a sandwich shop, we do prep in bulk. To simplify the process, chase consistency and reduce waste, we developed intricate spreadsheets. With scripts, automations, and all the bells and whistles.
They worked great. But, unfortunately, they were also extremely fragile. If someone accidentally deleted the wrong thing, the whole system would go off the rails. And we'd spend half a day fixing it.
Enter, Butterspace - a tool that grew from those frustrations. Fast, simple, flexible. All the best things about a spreadsheet, without any of the bad ones. And a few cool tricks on top.
