For small-batch producers selling to trade
makeweek turns the week’s orders into a production plan, sends the invoices, and keeps the paper trail — all runnable from a chat thread. Built for roasters, growers, bakers and fermenters.
Taking a first handful of founding tenants — set up with you, at founding prices, held.

The two-minute version
A short walkthrough — a customer’s message in, a production plan out, the invoices sent — all from one thread. We’re filming it this weekend.
The assistant
No new inbox, no dashboard habit to build. makeweek does exactly three jobs over Telegram today — WhatsApp is on the way — and it never acts without your say-so.
Forward a customer's message — email, text, scrawl — and get back a draft order with prices filled in. Nothing is committed until you press confirm. Ever.
“Morning! 6kg house espresso + 2 boxes radish for Friday?”
→ draft order · 2 lines · £148.00 · awaiting your confirm
Every morning, one message: what to make today, what goes out on the van, and who still owes you money. No dashboard to remember to check.
07:00 · Today: roast 14kg (3 orders) · 2 deliveries · 1 invoice overdue
→ read it with your first coffee, then go make things
“What's Elm Row's usual order?” “How much radish is ready this week?” Read-only answers from your own records, in the same thread.
“what did Quay Kitchen take last month?”
→ 46 trays across 4 orders · £612.00 · always pays on time
THE TRUST CONTRACT — the assistant reads freely, drafts carefully, and writes nothing without an explicit confirm from you.
Domain packs
The core is the same everywhere: orders become a plan for the week. A pack teaches it your vocabulary — trays or roasts, bunches or batches. Two packs at launch, each proven on a real operation.
Pack No.1 · Proven on a working farm
Pack No.2 · Proven in a working roastery
Why we’re different
We’re not a marketplace. We will never stand between you and your customers, take a cut of your sales, or own your relationships.
We arm the producer. Full stop.
Founding pricing
£39 /mo
£75 /mo
Founding prices held for early tenants. No contracts, no per-order fees, your data exports any time.
Founding tenancies
makeweek is opening to a first handful of producers. Founding tenants get set up by hand, help shape the pack for their trade, and keep founding prices for good.
Who’s building it
makeweek is built by Phil Collins — a software engineer who has run his own small food business, and who built and still maintains the software a working coffee roastery runs its trade on. Nothing in here is guesswork about how a production week goes: it started life as the tools those two operations already run on.
