Your local neighborhood shop, built overnight.
Whether it's bread from the bakery in town, honey from your own hives on a few summer weekends, or the kids' lemonade stand: Bua handles the orders, the payments, the reminders and the spreadsheets, so you can focus on the part that actually matters: handing it over and chatting with your neighbor.
From a sea shed in Hvitsten, Norway.
Bua is the quiet machinery behind any small local sale. Tell us what you're offering, who (if anyone) makes it, and where people pick it up. Overnight, the orders, the Vipps, the SMS reminders and the supplier list run themselves. You stay the human at the door.
Built overnight
Two minutes to describe what you're selling and where. Live by morning.
The boring parts, handled
Orders, payments, reminders, supplier counts, settlement. So you don't.
You stay the human
You do the pickup, the smile, the small talk. The community part.
Not a checkout. A quiet little operation.
Bua is a small team of specialized agents that handles every boring part of selling something locally. Whether you're reselling bread from the bakery in town, opening your driveway for honey on a few summer weekends, or helping the kids run a lemonade stand: the same quiet machinery does the work in the background.
The Planner
Looks at last week, the weather, what's in season, who's said they're coming. Suggests how much to make, bake or order.
The Storefront
A small, beautiful page in your name. Mobile first, opens in two taps from a Facebook group or a poster on a fence.
The Cashier
Vipps and card, hosted. Books each order, sends receipts, and hands you a clean ledger by Monday.
The Coordinator
If there's a maker behind you (a bakery, a beekeeper, a farm), Bua sends them the consolidated order at the cutoff. No phone tag.
The Greeter
QR codes at the pickup spot. Marks each pickup as done. Nudges latecomers gently. Closes the day for you.
The Bookkeeper
Reconciles payments, supplier invoices and your cut. Files what needs filing. You see one number.
Other platforms sell point-of-sale to people who already run shops. Bua delivers a working little operation to people who don't, and don't want to.
Where the first Bua is being built: a sea shed at the edge of the fjord, gathering Saturday bread orders for the village.
Your weekend is better spent on the dock.
Every Friday evening you spend coordinating orders in a Facebook thread is an evening you're not with the people you set this up for. Every spreadsheet is a spreadsheet your village shouldn't need.
