Bakery
Bakery POS system
A bakery sells twice: the counter trade that walks in before work, and the orders taken days ahead for a birthday, an office, a wedding. Those are two different businesses sharing one till, and most registers are built for only the first.
★Counter trade and pre-orders in one system, on one day sheet.
The pre-order book lives on paper, and paper does not warn you.
A custom cake taken by hand on Tuesday is invisible to the person planning Saturday. Meanwhile everything you make is perishable, so what you over-produce is thrown away and what you under-produce is a customer you turned away at eight in the morning.
How it works
Simple where it counts.
Take the order ahead
Your own storefront takes pickup orders in advance, commission free, so the pre-order is a record rather than a note.
See the counter and the book together
Pre-orders and walk-in trade land in the same order list, so the morning is planned against both.
Cost what you actually used
Ingredient-level inventory and recipes track what a batch consumes, so waste is a number instead of a feeling.
What’s inside
Everything this covers.
Pre-orders that reach the bake
Orders placed ahead on your storefront carry their pickup detail into the same system the counter uses, so the person planning production is looking at the whole day.
- Order-ahead on your own storefront
- No commission on those orders
- Pickup detail carried with the order
Perishable stock, counted honestly
Ingredients, recipes and stock movements are tracked at the ingredient level, so you can see what a product actually costs and what the day actually consumed.
- Ingredient-level inventory
- Recipes tied to products
- Stock movement history
One day sheet, not a book and a till
The value is not the pre-order feature by itself. It is that Saturday's custom orders and Saturday's counter trade are visible in the same place on Friday night.
