Every hour you give feeds someone.
Make every hour count.
OpenPantry is an operations platform built for food pantries: inventory, guest ordering, distribution planning, and automatic reporting. Less time wrestling spreadsheets. More time feeding neighbors.
Built for the work you actually do
OpenPantry assists you at every step of pantry operations. Staff and volunteers coordinate in one platform to plan food distribution, improve the guest experience, and report on your impact to supporters.
Inventory tracking at a glance
An item-first inventory screen shows stock, holds, and what's free to promise for every product. Plus, track items with specific dietary and programmatic characteristics using custom tags.
Monitor shelf life automatically
Track products and the batches behind them. Reservations always draw from the first-expiring stock, so good food goes out before it goes bad.
Custom ordering for guests
Guest orders reserve real inventory the moment they are placed, and you can track every order as it flows through the warehouse.
Smart distribution plans
Tell OpenPantry what a household should receive and it calculates how many guests you can serve based on your real-time inventory.
A team, with the right keys
Invite staff and volunteers by email and control what each role can see and do. Onboarding a new helper takes a minute.
Built-in compliance and reporting
Easily export data showing how much food your pantry distributed, where it went, and the suppliers, funders, and agencies it came from.
The road ahead
OpenPantry is young and growing with the pantries that use it. Here is the direction we are building toward.
-
Guests ask for food in plain words
An AI ordering assistant that turns "a week of meals for a family of four, no gluten" into a fulfillable order from what's on the shelf.
-
Self-service accounts
Guests and volunteers managing their own profiles, preferences, and schedules, so your staff can focus on programs, not IT.
-
Richer dashboards
Make inventory decisions and grant reporting easy with a clearer picture of what moves, what expires, and who you serve.
