Short guides to the parts of LotsLog that need explaining — written in the order a new supplier meets them. Read them without an account.

  1. Logging a lot

    What happens when you log a lot, why the first screen asks about the journey, and why a logged lot is not yet a lot a buyer can see.

    A sample request expires after 30 days, and nothing reminds you. This is the whole loop, from the request to the outcome.

    What your printed QR code opens, and what changes permanently the first time a roaster puts your lot on a bag of their own.

  7. Keeping your lots up to date

    Editing many lots at once in a spreadsheet, the difference between pausing a lot and taking it out of a catalog, and the one choice you cannot undo.

  8. Cupping a table of coffees

    Why you no longer save one coffee at a time, why a half-scored coffee is a real save, and how someone else at the table scores from their own phone
