What we build
Services for Food and Nutrition.
Custom platforms, ordering systems, and operations engineering for food retailers, restaurants, beverage brands, grocery, and food manufacturing.
Restaurant & food delivery solutions
Custom point-of-sale software, online ordering, third-party delivery integration (UberEats, DoorDash), and inventory optimization for multi-location restaurants.
Smart recipe & ingredient management
AI-based recipe substitution, ingredient tracking, waste reduction, and AI-driven grocery list management for food brands and meal-kit services.
Food manufacturing & quality control
Predictive safety analytics, traceability monitoring, and quality assurance workflows for food manufacturers and processors.
Smart grocery & retail
AI-driven inventory management, sustainability tracking, and the e-commerce plumbing specialty grocery and food retail need.
Online ordering & delivery integration
Restaurant ordering flows, takeout and delivery integration with DoorDash and UberEats, in-house delivery routing, and the integration scope quick-service operators actually need.
Adjacent OST experience
Food and nutrition work sits inside OST's broader E-commerce practice.
Indian Grill (restaurant), Potomac Wines (wine retail), ShopMulch (specialty agricultural), and Big Barn Home Center are part of our 29+ active e-commerce client portfolio. For the full e-commerce capability set including 12+ OpenCart custom builds, see the E-commerce vertical page.
Food-sector compliance
Frameworks food and nutrition clients ask about.
Compliance scoped per engagement. OST does not hold direct PCI-DSS or GDPR certification; we route through compliant providers to minimize scope and assist with implementation. See the Trust Center for the broader posture.
PCI DSS (assisted)
Tokenization through PCI-compliant processors. Implementation assistance rather than direct PCI certification. Standard across our food and beverage commerce engagements.
FDA labeling & FTC advertising
FDA labeling for supplements and packaged food, FTC advertising and influencer-disclosure rules, ingredient transparency, and category-specific restrictions.
Age-gating & alcohol shipping laws
State-by-state alcohol shipping rules, age-gating at checkout, dry-county restrictions, and tobacco compliance where applicable. Pattern from Potomac Wines.
WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility
Accessibility for food e-commerce. We design for conformance pre-emptively rather than triage after a demand letter.
