KoRaft
Print. Stick. Scan. QR-based restock for small teams.
KoRaft turns any shelf into an inventory system. Print a QR card, stick it on the shelf, scan when stock runs low - no app, no login. Reorders log instantly and track Triggered → Ordered → Received. Purpose-built for the reorder loop (not asset tracking like), live in 15 minutes, starts at €9/mo. Built for restaurants, salons, workshops and small retailers.
Honestly - YouTube. I kept coming across videos of restaurants and small businesses talking about the same headache: running out of the stuff at the worst possible moment. Not expensive things. Not hard-to-source things. Just the stuff nobody remembered to reorder because the "system" was a spreadsheet nobody updated or a WhatsApp message that scrolled away. Every video had a version of the same broken loop.
The tools that solve this properly are built for warehouses and cost $129–$400/mo before you even log in. Way too much for a burger place or a 3-chair salon. So I figured it was time to build something cheap, dead-simple and easy for a small team to actually keep running - not another inventory platform, just a clean signal from the shelf to whoever does the ordering.
The problem I was trying to solve
The gap between "someone at the shelf noticed we're low" and "the order got placed" is where most stockouts happen. Existing inventory tools solve the wrong half - they're great at tracking what you *have*, terrible at capturing the moment someone realizes what you *need*. I wanted the scan itself to be the reorder trigger. No app to open. No login for the person at the shelf. Just point a phone camera at the QR sticker and it's logged.
How the approach evolved
I started with a full "warehouse-lite" build - barcodes, SKU generation, stock counts, the works. A few weeks in, I ripped most of it out. It became obvious that small businesses don't want to count stock, they want a signal. So I stripped it down to three states - Triggered, Ordered, Received - and made the QR card the entire interaction surface. Everything else (statistics, supplier lead-time tracking, email drafts) is downstream of that one scan.
The other big pivot was making anonymous scans the default. My first version required login for every scan "for security." Nobody would've used it in a real kitchen. The whole point is that the person at the shelf shouldn't need to know anything - including a password. SecureScan mode is now opt-in for sensitive items only.
Happy to answer anything about the tech stack (Node + Supabase + vanilla JS, no framework), the pricing math for €9–€50/mo tiers. Try it free at koraft.com - no credit card needed for the 14-day trial.
Thanks for taking a look. 🙏
