The “Beyond the Roast” Series
Episode 01
The Future of Coffee Productivity
Thursday, May 21, 2026
For over a decade, we helped you master the roast. But as you grew, the bottleneck shifted. Today, the greatest threat to your margin isn’t a flavor profile, it’s operational friction. Join our CEO and Co-Founder, Andreas Idl, for a first look at the new Cropster Productivity Platform.

Episode 02
Roast what sells, not what you guessed
Wednesday, May 27, 2026
Your Sunday-night roast plan shouldn’t depend on memory and intuition. Set Minimum Stock Levels and let the platform flag what needs roasting before you stock out.
For most roasteries, “production planning” still means a head roaster rebuilding the schedule by hand every week, squinting at last week’s orders, guessing what to roast, and hoping the math holds. That guesswork is expensive: every stockout on a bestseller is a missed wholesale order, and every batch of “long coffee” is margin sitting in a cooling tray.
Minimum Stock Levels in Cropster Scale close that gap. Set a floor for each roasted and packaged SKU, and the platform tells you exactly what to roast next, based on what’s actually on the shelf, not what you remember.
In this session
How to set Minimum Stock Levels for roasted and packaged finished goods (live walkthrough)
The logic behind net requirements: how the platform translates demand + current stock into “what to roast next”
Where MSL fits inside the broader Scale production-planning workflow, and how you can explore Cropster products to scale your roastery without chaos, powered by data
Who would benefit?
Operations Managers, Roasters, Head Roasters, Production Planners, and Founder-Operators.

Episode 03
A flawless Roast won’t ship itself
Wednesday, June 10, 2026
Bills of Material and non-coffee inventory in Cropster’s new Advanced Planning add-on bring bags, labels, and valves into the same planning logic as your roasted goods.
You can run a flawless roast and still miss a wholesale deadline because the right SKU of bag is out of stock. For most roasteries, non-coffee inventory lives in a separate spreadsheet, checked manually, ordered reactively, and discovered missing at the worst possible moment.
Cropster’s new Advanced Planning add-on closes that loop. The first feature, non-coffee inventory with Bills of Material support, lets you set lead times and reorder points on bags, labels, valves, and any other consumable, and the platform alerts you before you run out.
In this session
How to set lead times and reorder points for non-coffee inventory
How Bills of Material connect packaging to the products that need them
Why “I have coffee, but no bags” stops being possible
Who would benefit?
Operations Managers, Procurement leads, Production planners, and founder-operators tracking consumables on a separate spreadsheet
(or worse, in their head).
