The platform
Three stages. One platform.
Three stages. One platform.
Zero guesswork.
Most tools pick one slice of your business. IQMix follows the whole arc — from your first permit application to your first pallet of packaged product.
Stage 01 · Launch
Become a legitimate food business, without the maze.
Food regulation is the single biggest reason talented cooks never sell a single plate. We turn the maze into a checklist.
- Regulatory clarity. Answer a few questions about what you make and where you are; get the exact requirements that apply — cottage food rules, food handler cards, kitchen inspections and more.
- Permits & registrations. Step-by-step help obtaining the licenses your business actually needs, with renewals tracked so nothing lapses.
- Insurance options. Compare liability cover built for food makers, from farmers-market stalls to full catering operations.
- Professional presence. A polished page with your menu, story, ordering and reviews — your brand, not a row in someone else's app.
Stage 02 · Operate
The boring parts, on autopilot.
Great food businesses die of admin, not bad recipes. Operate turns a week of spreadsheets and chat threads into minutes.
- Payments. Accept cards, wallets and bank transfers with clear fees and prompt payouts.
- Customer management. A living customer book: orders, favorites, allergies, notes, repeat rates.
- Order scheduling. Pickup slots and delivery windows that respect your prep capacity.
- Reminders. Automatic messages for order confirmations, pickups and reorders.
- Revenue tracking. Real numbers on sales, margins and best sellers — ready for tax time.
Stage 03 · Grow
When demand outgrows your oven, say yes anyway.
The jump from home kitchen to real production is where most food businesses stall. We've built the bridge.
- Marketing services. Local campaigns, social content and promotions run by people who market food for a living.
- Packaging suppliers. Vetted partners for labels, pouches, jars and retail-ready packaging at maker-friendly volumes.
- Commercial kitchens. Book certified kitchen hours near you — scale production without signing a lease.
- Capacity expansion. Guidance on co-packers, wholesale pricing and distribution when you're ready for shelves.
