Local Butcher Announces Sausage Support Service
Customers unsure what to do with six sausages and Wednesday evening have been offered assistance.
The trade pages
Put Your Recipes Where Your Customers Already Are
Which is to say: on the phone in their hand, in the kitchen, at the moment they are looking at something you sold them and wondering what to do with it.
Publish a branded collection of the recipes you want people to have. Put a QR code on the label, the counter, the bag or the box. Change what that code opens whenever you like — the printed code never changes, and nothing needs reprinting.
Who these pages are for
Makers and producers
Hot sauce, jam, cheese, cure, bake. Recipes that name your product, added long after the jar was sold.
Cafés and restaurants
Share the recipes you are happy to share, and only those. It reads like your café, not a directory listing.
Farm shops and markets
A collection that follows the season through a sign that has not moved since spring.
Butchers and delis
Six sausages and a Wednesday. A code on the label answers the question at the counter.
How it actually works
-
Make a collection
Put in the recipes you want customers to have. Yours stay private unless you publish them, per collection and per recipe.
-
Publish it
It gets its own address and its own QR code, carrying your name and your cover.
-
Print the code once
On the label, the counter, the packaging, the market board. That is the last time it needs printing.
-
Keep adding recipes
Everything already printed shows the new content. A customer who scanned it in March finds November’s recipes behind the same code.

Questions we are asked
- Do I have to give away my recipes?
- No. Publishing is a decision you make per collection and per recipe, and nothing here suggests you should share anything you would rather keep. Most businesses publish a handful and keep the rest.
- What happens when I change a recipe?
- Everything pointing at it is already current — the published page, every QR code, every link somebody has saved. There is no second step where you have to remember to republish.
- Can I start small and move up?
- Yes. Business Pro is the same product with your own domain, API access and the integrations a larger operation needs. Nothing has to be rebuilt to move.
- Do my customers need an account?
- Only to save a recipe of yours into their own collection. Reading needs nothing at all.
- What if I stop paying?
- Your recipes are yours. Collections export as proper ebook files and the whole account is readable over the API, so leaving is a download rather than a negotiation.
- Is there advertising on my collections?
- No. There is no advertising anywhere in RecipeJam, on your pages or on anybody else’s.
