Dayspring Sign in
For food & beverage makers

The AI CFO for your food or drink brand.

Lemonade brand. Cold-pressed juice. Kombucha label. Hot sauce. Granola. Selling on Shopify, at farmer's markets, into a few retailers, maybe Faire wholesale. Costs scattered across ingredients, packaging, production runs, fulfillment. Dayspring pulls all of it into one view and tells you in plain English what each channel actually nets you — per bottle, per jar, per bag.

The maker reality

Your real cost per bottle isn't what's on your spreadsheet.

Small-batch food and beverage brands lose money in places nobody warns them about. Dayspring catches them in real time, not at year-end.

🍋

Ingredient costs move every week

Lemons, sugar, herbs, bottles, labels — supplier prices drift. Your cost per bottle drifts with them, quietly.

📦

Channel economics differ

Shopify nets ~92%. Faire takes 25%. Farmer's markets net 100% but cost a Saturday. Retail consignment delays cash for weeks.

🧪

Batches don't always yield

The recipe says 100 bottles. You actually got 87. That's a 13% margin hit nobody catches until much later.

🔀

Sales scattered everywhere

Shopify dashboard. Faire payouts. Square market sales. Amazon deposits. Cash from a tasting event. Bank. Spreadsheets.

One view across Shopify, Faire, Square, retail, and bank

Dayspring orchestrates every channel where your brand sells — DTC online, wholesale, farmer's markets, retail consignment, Amazon — plus your bank, your supplier receipts, and your spreadsheets, into one picture.

🍋

Real cost per bottle, batch by batch

Snap every ingredient and packaging receipt. Tag it to a batch. Dayspring divides batch cost by yield — so when lemon prices jump or your yield drops, you see your true unit cost shift in real time.

📊

Channel margin comparison

Tag each sale by channel. Dayspring calculates net margin after platform fees, payment processing, and fulfillment — so you can see Shopify vs Faire vs farmer's market vs retail consignment side by side. One channel is usually silently bleeding you.

Questions

Food & beverage maker FAQ

What kinds of food and beverage brands use Dayspring?

Small-batch makers and emerging CPG brands — lemonade and juice brands, kombucha and cold-brew, hot sauce and condiment makers, jam and preserve labels, snack and granola brands, drink mixers, chocolate makers, spice and seasoning lines. Anyone making a food or drink product and selling it through farmer's markets, Shopify, Faire, Amazon, retail consignment, or wholesale.

Can Dayspring track my cost per bottle (or unit)?

Yes. Snap photos of every ingredient receipt — lemons, sugar, bottles, labels, caps, boxes, shipping supplies — and tag them to a production batch. Dayspring divides batch cost by yield to give you real cost per bottle in plain English. When ingredient prices move, your number moves with them.

Does Dayspring work with Shopify, Square, and Faire?

Yes. Today the fastest path is photo or screenshot — snap your Shopify daily summary, Square market totals, or Faire payout statement and Dayspring's AI reads gross sales, fees, and net deposit. Direct integrations are on the roadmap so each channel's data flows in automatically.

How does Dayspring handle wholesale versus DTC margins?

Tag each sale by channel — DTC Shopify, Faire wholesale, farmer's market, retail consignment, Amazon. Dayspring computes net margin per channel after platform fees, payment processing, and fulfillment, so you can see what each channel really nets you per bottle. Most makers discover one channel is silently subsidizing another.

Can Dayspring track production batches and yields?

Yes. Log a batch with its inputs (ingredients) and outputs (units produced). Dayspring stores the recipe cost and the yield, so each future batch can be compared — useful for catching when ingredient costs creep up or yields drop, both of which silently kill margin.

How is Dayspring different from Shopify's analytics?

Shopify tells you what happened on Shopify. Dayspring is the orchestrator — it reads Shopify plus Faire plus your farmer's market sales plus your supplier receipts plus your bank — and gives you the whole brand picture in one view, in plain English. Channel reports are pieces; Dayspring is the puzzle put together.
