From field to kitchen pass — without seven tabs.
Three roles on one feed: producers post, chefs plan, couriers move. Tendpost runs the matching, the paperwork, and the cool chain in between.
Three roles on one feed.
Reach the kitchens that actually use what you plant.
Your board is the page chefs checkout — not a static SKU list. Walk-throughs of the field, harvest updates, the case count you’re sending this week. Subscriptions stay cheap because postings and listings are free for growers.
- Free listings, posts, and boards — forever, for growers.
- In-region matches first; distance shown on every inquiry.
- Per-transaction fee only when a courier run completes.
- Insurance and refrigeration paperwork attached to each shipment.
Plan the menu with the grower on the page.
Sourcing lists linked to the field they came from. Recipe-to-ingredient tags keep the menu honest. Seasonal forecasting flags what’s forcing next — not the spreadsheet you forgot to refresh.
- Sourcing lists tied to growers — not just SKUs.
- Recipe-to-ingredient linking on every menu drop.
- Seasonal forecasting tied to grower updates.
- Cold-chain audit trail shown to every chef at delivery.
A grower doesn’t need their own refrigerated truck anymore.
The platform runs a gig delivery network in every supported region. Couriers are vetted on ServSafe food handling, basic cooler standards, and FSMA-aligned refrigerated-chain practice. Every run writes a temperature and time entry at pickup and at drop, so both sides know what stayed cold and when.
| Step | What gets logged. |
|---|---|
| Pickup at farm | Cooler temp, lot ID, courier, time |
| Mid-route checkpoint | Re-cool if > 41°F · time stamped |
| Drop at kitchen | Receiving temp, signature, photo on request |
| Audit-ready trail | Attached to grower, chef, and courier records |
Food-handling cert reviewed on every courier’s onboarding.
Refrigerated-chain practice for produce, dairy, and meat.
Per-run coverage attached to the shipment, not the buyer.
Both sides read it; auditors can read it.
