Rip Through
Monday.

Corporate tools. Independent shops.

Built for independent ice cream shops.

Independent shop owners keep telling us the same thing:

“Finally. Something built for us. No barcode scanners. No laminated sheets.”

If your daily reality is counting cones, checking freezers, and answering group texts before your first scoop, this is for you.

Launching in the next 30 days. Early signups: free while we build it. 🐾

Your scoop shop shouldn't live in a group text.

Strawberry's low. The freezer's beeping. Someone forgot to clock in. Right now it all lives in a 7am group text (and a whiteboard, and a laminated sheet). Rip through it.

Built by an owner, not a tech bro
I built and run an independent coffee business from the ground up. I'm on top of the whole operation, every day, without living in a group text. These systems are how I do it, and I put them in DeskPanther so you can run your shop the way I run mine.

🐾 By Invitation

Managing multiple stores is a different game.

Own more than three locations, operate a franchise group, or manage multiple stores under one brand? We’d love to hear how your operation works, and show you what we’re building.

We’re intentionally keeping this conversation separate, because the needs of multi-unit operators are different, and we want to learn from people who manage complexity every day.

🐾 Let’s Talk Multi-Unit (opens your email application)

Have fewer locations but growing quickly? We’d still love to hear from you.
