For makers growing beyond spreadsheets

Maker Workshop

Maker Workshop turns your Chocolate Lab into a full production workspace. Coordinate with customers, keep marketing in sync, and understand what is driving your business—on top of the recipes and batches you already track in CocoaCraft.

Built on top of your Chocolate Lab

Chocolate Lab is your recipe and batch engine. Maker Workshop keeps all of that, and layers on the tools you need once you are running real production: a customer-facing workspace, a marketing content hub, and simple analytics tied directly to what you are making.

Everything in one maker workspace

When Maker Workshop makes sense

You are working with recurring customers

Keep everything for each customer—batches, docs, notes—in one place and give them a portal instead of more email chains.

You are launching more products

Make sure your product pages, labels, and campaigns match what you actually produce by pulling from real recipes.

You are planning around data

Use prebuilt views of your batches to decide where to invest time, equipment, and marketing energy.
