SaltStacker is a modern, open-source API built to solve real problems in the food tech industry, from ingredient and recipe management to price tracking, nutrition analysis, and reporting.
It’s designed with kitchens, ghost kitchens, catering platforms, and restaurant software in mind, whether you’re building an internal tool, a SaaS platform, or looking to enhance your current system with rich, structured food data.
There’s a gap between food industry needs and accessible developer tools.
- Most systems are outdated or expensive
- New food businesses often lack technical infrastructure
- Many kitchens still run on spreadsheets
SaltStacker aims to fix that, with a clean, modern, extensible API that developers can trust and food businesses can rely on.
- .NET 9 (ASP.NET Core Web API)
- Entity Framework Core
- SQL Server
- JWT-based token authentication
- Swagger
Planned:
- Docker & CI/CD
- Rate limiting & key-based auth
