Shellfish records, simplified
Shellstock records without the paper chase.
Photograph your shellstock tags. OysterTrace reads the details, keeps the original tag image, and organizes your records so they're easy to find when you need them.
From tag to record
Photograph the tag, verify the reading, and keep the original image with the record.
How OysterTrace works
From physical tag to organized record.
OysterTrace is designed around the way oyster bars actually work.
01
Scan
Photograph one or both sides of the shellstock tag.
02
Read
OysterTrace uses AI to extract the information from the tag.
03
Verify
Confirm the important details and correct anything that needs attention.
04
Find
Records and original tag images stay organized and searchable when you need them.
A process that used to end with another piece of paper now ends with an organized digital record.
Less paper to manage
Your shellstock tags shouldn't become a paperwork project.
Tags get wet, handwriting can be hard to read, records pile up, and a tag from weeks ago can disappear into a stack. OysterTrace gives each tag a clear place to go.
Stop digging through tags
Search organized records instead of sorting through weeks of paper.
Keep the original evidence
The source tag image stays connected to the record you reviewed.
Know what needs attention
OysterTrace highlights information that needs a person to verify.
Built for the shucker
Software only works if the crew actually uses it.
OysterTrace follows the pace of an oyster bar instead of turning every tag into a long, complicated form.
Keep moving
Large, simple controls and Save & Scan Next support a busy shift.
Skip repeat typing
Known dealers and their usual details are ready to reuse and verify.
Review what matters
Uncertain readings are highlighted instead of treated as perfect.
Catch up honestly
Record a tag for today, yesterday, or another permitted service date.
Receiving + used tags
Follow the oyster from delivery to use.
Record deliveries, then link used tags to the right batch to see what remains. Receiving is available when that workflow fits your restaurant; it is not required to keep a used tag record.

Why OysterTrace feels practical
Built inside an oyster bar — not a conference room.
OysterTrace started with shellstock tags being handled manually in a working oyster restaurant. The workflow was refined around wet tags, busy employees, repeated dealers, forgotten entries, and the need to retrieve records later. That is why it focuses on speed for the employee and organization for the restaurant.

Why does OysterTrace review new restaurants?
Restaurant workspaces hold operational records, so new registrations are reviewed before activation. Once approved, the restaurant administrator can invite the right staff. The review helps keep each restaurant's workspace with the people authorized to manage it.
