Roasthubs User Manual
Your digital control room for the modern roastery — from green coffee arrival to packaged product, with full traceability along the way.
Welcome to the Roasthubs user manual. This manual is written for the people who use Roasthubs every day — operators, planners, green buyers, quality teams, and management. It explains what each screen does and how to get common jobs done.
Looking for setup, deployment, or API docs? See Shared guides and the app repository. This manual focuses on using the application.
