Farms and producers supplying restaurants and shops on repeat: standing orders, catch-weight pricing, delivery windows and clean statements, without the WhatsApp thread.
Twenty kitchens, twenty threads, and Thursday’s order buried under Tuesday’s memes. One missed message is one angry chef.
The menu changed, the banquet doubled, the order is different again. Late changes by phone corrupt the pick list you already printed.
Restaurants pay on statements, slowly. You are financing other people’s cash flow with produce you already grew.
The order says ten kilos, the crate weighs 9.4. Invoice the order and someone is wrong. Invoice the crate and the paperwork multiplies.
Each kitchen holds its own standing order and adjusts it before your cutoff, in their own login. The group-chat archaeology ends.
Catch-weight pricing bills the 9.4 kilos that actually shipped, automatically, on the record both sides see. No corrections, no arguments.
Every kitchen’s account is a live wallet balance, not a stack of aging PDFs. Prepay, weekly settlement or a credit cap, on your terms per customer.
Kitchens need the crate before prep, not during service. Runsheets sort the route around delivery windows, with proof of handover at the back door.
The parts of Lanemi a recurring supplier leans on every week.

A farm supplying Lisbon restaurants, a dairy serving Pune cafes, a fishery provisioning Wellington kitchens. Your currency, your payment terms, your rules.
Lanemi began on a working farm whose round includes homes and a couple of commercial kitchens. The standing-order and catch-weight machinery exists because we invoice real crates with real weights every week.

You weigh at packing, and the line is priced at the real weight. The kitchen sees the same record you do, so statements stop being negotiations.
Yes. Run accounts as prepaid, weekly settlement or a capped balance, per customer. The ledger keeps every arrangement straight.
Yes, and many suppliers do. Households and kitchens sit on the same catalogue and the same books, with different prices and terms where you set them.
Each stop carries its window and notes, and the route is sorted to honour them. Proof of delivery covers the handover at the back door.
Short, practical, and no filler. Leave any time.
