OctaneDesk — The Free Daily Fuel Book for Independent Gas Station Owners

The book the law makes you keep — without the paper.

Every day you already stick your tanks and write the numbers down. OctaneDesk takes those same three numbers — stick reading, delivery gallons, pump totalizer — and does the thinking paper can't: it checks the book against the tank every day, tells you how many days of each grade you have left, warns you before a grade runs dry, and writes your next fuel order for you.

Why owners switch from the paper sheet

1. You already do this work

Georgia requires daily stick readings and month-end inventory logs for every tank, with records kept for years. Most owners do that mandated work on paper, by hand, at close. This is the same sheet — the math done for you in the two minutes you're already spending.

2. It catches what paper can't

A paper book shows a shortage at month-end, if it shows it at all. A short delivery, a drifting pump meter, a slow leak, or fuel walking away can run for months first. OctaneDesk flags the day book and stick disagree — that day, not at month's end.

3. It costs nothing and changes nothing

No hardware to buy, no tank gauge to connect, no register system to swap, no contract. It runs in the browser on the phone already in your pocket — and your distributor stays your distributor, exactly as today.

What it does, from your own readings

Daily reconciliation

Book = yesterday's stick + deliveries − what the pumps sold. Any day the real stick disagrees by more than 50 gallons or 0.5% of sales gets flagged in plain English, with the likely causes in order.

Days-to-empty + low-fuel alerts

Every grade shows gallons on hand and days left at your current pace. Under about 3 days, the alert fires — before a dry grade costs you the inside sales that come with it.

A ready-to-send order

The suggested order fills the tank back to 90% of capacity. One tap copies a complete order message — grade, gallons, your pace — addressed to your own distributor, for you to send.

Why this one is different: we couldn't find another free, browser-based fuel book built for an independent owner that starts with your own stick readings and carries those same readings through ghost-gallon flags, days-to-empty, low-fuel alerts, a suggested order quantity, and a ready-to-send order to your own distributor. The big systems were built for chains — hardware, register ecosystems, per-site fees. This one was built for the stick.
