Products & Services

TYPIQO consolidates all local products and producers into one platform so restaurants can place weekly orders. By integrating Stellar to keep an immutable trace of the origin of products, TYPIQO will allow Chefs and patrons alike to verify where the ingredients of their dishes were sourced from.

Problem

TYPIQO has identified a gap in the market where: 1. Chefs must deal with multiple local producers, leading to inefficiencies and taking them away from what they do best: Creating dishes. 2. Chefs need to tell stories behind their dishes; This becomes easy by having local, sustainable produce that is fully traceable.

Solution

TYPIQO is solving the problem of the disconnect between local producers and Chefs with an end-to-end platform that leverages this relationship, digitizing both the Chef and the Producer simultaneously. TYPIQO wants to solve the transparency and traceability problem by leveraging the Stellar blockchain.

TYPIQO in a nutshell: 1. Product selection: TYPIQO finds and selects local producers and products that fit traceability, quality, and sustainability criteria as defined by TYPIQO. 2. Chef’s Automation: TYPIQO provides a Chef Platform where they can make their weekly orders seamlessly, with a dynamic and integrated catalogue to TYPIQO's inventory management system. 3. Producer’s Automation: TYPIQO also provides a platform where each local producer can manage their products directly integrated into the Chefs catalogue on the Chefs Platform.

Leveraging Stellar for transparency and traceability

TYPIQO visits each local producer and audits and verifies their business practices to ensure they are sustainable and traceable. If they meet the criteria, each product from this producer is awarded a TYPIQO-issued asset that represents the compliance of that specific product. Producers get a non-custodial Stellar account associated with them once they sign up for TYPIQO (this is so TYPIQO in the future can operate as an independent certification authority, regardless of where the products are sold). Leveraging Stellar’s granular asset issuance options, TYPIQO can ensure only certified providers can hold the relevant assets.

1. Products ordered are matched with certified products (TYPIQO-issued assets), and transactions are created between TYPIQO and Producers (e.g. TYP000000001 amount 5 – this represents 5kg of tomatoes from producer A). Units and descriptions will be included in the asset’s metadata. 2. Producers sign the transaction representing the orders they’ll be fulfilling. 3. TYPIQO signs and submits the transaction once received in the warehouse. 4. When TYPIQO dispatches the orders, transactions are created with TYPIQO and Chefs as signers. TYPIQO signs. 5. Upon receiving the order, the Chef signs the transaction, which is submitted. 6. At the restaurant, a per-dish QR code can be scanned, taking the user to the TYPIQO website to show a certificate that displays the journey of the ingredients from the producers to their table. They can email it to themselves for closer inspection.
