Foodsoft

Software for food cooperatives and collective buying groups

About Foodsoft

Foodsoft is open-source, web-based software for managing a non-profit food cooperative. It covers the product catalog, member ordering, accounting, and job scheduling that a collective do-it-yourself supermarket needs. Members order products online from suppliers of the group's choosing and collect them on a set day, while everyone contributes a bit of work. Food cooperatives use it to coordinate this process with less administration.
