Turning pizza making from scattered notes into one guided product workflow

Margy is a workflow companion for pizza making. It brings planning, dough calculations, preparation guidance, and results tracking into a single connected tool, one that knows where you are in the process and surfaces what you need at that moment.

The product is not a recipe database or a generic kitchen app. It is designed around the practical flow of making pizza across three phases, each feeding naturally into the next, with no context switching required.

Margy began as a personal problem. Over years of developing recipes, combining what I learned in pizza-making courses with my own experimentation, I cycled through every available option: paper notes, Excel sheets, dedicated apps, standalone calculators. Each had a piece of what I needed. None had the whole picture.

I work with professional equipment and have serious experience with dough. The gap is not a skill gap. It is a workflow gap: even professionals fall back on Excel and memory, because no tool has ever been designed around the actual sequence of a making session.

I built Margy for myself first, then shaped it to be useful for anyone serious about the craft. If the product proves itself at this level, growing it toward a full professional and service-day context is the natural next step.

Before Margy, a pizza session meant juggling a patchwork of tools with nothing in common. Paper notes: fast to write, impossible to replicate. Excel sheets: powerful for math, blind to timing and execution. Standalone calculators: one step at a time, no awareness of how one variable cascades into the next. Memory: the least reliable tool under time pressure.

None of these failed at their individual job. They all failed at the meta-job: running a complete, repeatable session with lower overhead. Every session started by reassembling a scattered system from scratch, before you had even touched the flour.

I organized the product around three phases that match how pizza making actually works: planning, preparation, and results. Each phase has its own context and surfaces what the maker needs at that moment. Margy knows where you are and acts accordingly.

During planning, it suggests templates and configurations. During preparation, it guides with a precise timeline. After the session, the results phase lets you compare against previous doughs and build on what worked.

Margy now has a stronger foundation as a focused workflow product: planning, preparation, and results in one connected experience, without the scattered toolset that used to precede every session.

The product is designed to compound with use. Every session adds to a record the maker can compare, learn from, and act on.
