Backshelf watches the days left on everything perishable in your shop and hands you a short list each morning: sell this, mark that down, move this to the front. No POS to replace. No barcode gun. Two minutes a day.

Mark down at 3pmStock arrives fresh, sits one day too long, and leaves through the back door as a write-off. It never shows up on a report - it just disappears, one bucket and tray at a time.
For most small perishable shops that's $150–$400 a month - found money, if someone catches it two days earlier. Backshelf is that someone.
Tap the supplier - your usual order loads with each item's usual shelf life already filled in. Fix only what's different. No printed date? Backshelf counts from the day it arrived.
Every batch in the shop, sorted oldest-first. A glance tells you what's fresh, what's fading, and what's on borrowed time - first in, first out, automatically.
Each morning Backshelf hands you a short list with the dollars at risk on each. Mark it down, move it forward, tap done. Open the shop.
Vase life by supplier, not guesswork. Backshelf learns that one grower's peonies last six days and another's last three.
Today's bake, yesterday's rack. Know what to mark down at 3pm instead of bagging it for the bin at close.
Cut-in-house trays and counter stock tracked from receiving day - sell-through prompts before anything hits its date.
