Everything you need to run a profitable bakery
Recipe management
Build detailed recipes with full ingredient lists, precise quantities, preparation steps, and yield per batch. Each recipe links directly to a finished product, and the system automatically scales ingredient amounts when you adjust batch sizes. See real-time production costs so you know exactly what every loaf, cake, or pastry costs to make.
Production planning
Plan and track every baking batch from start to finish. Each batch gets a unique number (BKB-YYYYMMDD-XXXX) with full status tracking through pending, in progress, completed, and cancelled stages. Record quantity produced, production date, and a snapshot of all ingredients used. When a batch is marked complete, finished product stock updates automatically.
Ingredient inventory
Manage your raw materials separately from finished goods. Track flour, sugar, butter, and every other ingredient with flexible units (kg, g, liters, pieces), cost per unit, and stock quantities per branch. Set low-stock thresholds to get alerts before you run out, and link each ingredient to its supplier for fast reordering.
Waste logging
Record every instance of spoilage with specific reasons including expired, damaged, quality issues, overproduction, and more. Track waste quantity, date, and link it back to the affected product. Build a clear picture of where waste is happening so you can take action to reduce it over time.
Dynamic waste valuation
Go beyond simple waste tracking by calculating the exact financial cost of every spoiled product and expired ingredient. Use these insights to adjust daily baking volumes, reduce overproduction, and protect your margins. See exactly how much money waste is costing your bakery each week and month.
Cost calculation
Automatically calculate the true cost of every product based on current ingredient prices and recipe quantities. See your margins at a glance, identify your most and least profitable items, and set pricing that ensures every sale contributes to your bottom line. Costs update dynamically when ingredient prices change.
Expiry tracking
Monitor shelf life for both finished products and raw ingredients. Receive pre-expiry alerts so you can discount items before they expire, repurpose ingredients into new products, or remove stock before it goes to waste. Never lose money to expired inventory again.
Point of sale
Handle walk-in counter sales, pre-orders, and custom cake orders from one screen. Scan barcodes, process multiple payment methods, print receipts, and keep your checkout line moving. Every sale instantly updates your finished product inventory and feeds into your sales analytics.
Product management
Maintain a complete catalog of your finished goods with SKU codes, barcodes, pricing, stock levels, categories, product images, and measurement units. Organize products by type, track quantities across locations, and keep your menu and inventory always in sync.
Batch inventory (FIFO)
Track ingredients by lot with full first-in, first-out management. Each batch carries its own batch number, expiry date, and cost price, so you always use the oldest stock first. Reduce waste, maintain freshness, and keep accurate cost records across every delivery.
Stock transfers
Transfer both finished products and raw ingredients between bakery locations with a multi-step approval workflow. Track what was sent, what was received, and maintain accurate inventory counts at every branch throughout the process.
Stocktakes
Run physical inventory counts for both ingredients and finished products. Use blind counting mode to prevent bias, then let the system calculate variances between expected and actual quantities. Identify shrinkage, correct stock levels, and keep your records accurate.
Customer management
Build customer profiles with contact details, complete order history, and loyalty tracking. Know who your regulars are, what they order most, and reward them for coming back. Turn one-time buyers into lifelong customers with personalized service.
Supplier management
Keep a directory of all your ingredient suppliers with contact information, product catalogs, and pricing. Create purchase orders, track deliveries, and compare pricing across suppliers to make sure you are always getting the best deal on flour, sugar, packaging, and everything else.
Purchase orders
Create and track purchase orders from your suppliers through a complete status workflow. Set expected delivery dates, monitor order progress, and enable auto-generation of POs when ingredient stock drops below your defined thresholds. Never run out of critical supplies.
Sales analytics
Discover your best sellers, track daily and weekly revenue, identify slow-moving items, and spot seasonal trends. Export detailed reports to plan production volumes, adjust your menu, and make data-driven decisions that grow your bakery's revenue.
Multi-branch support
Manage multiple bakery locations, each with its own inventory, recipes, staff, and sales data. Switch between branches instantly or view consolidated reports across all locations. Scale from one shop to ten without outgrowing your system.
Staff and role management
Define bakery-specific roles including Owner, Admin, Manager, Baker, and Cashier. Control exactly what each role can see and do with granular permissions. Keep sensitive data like costs and payroll restricted to the people who need it.
Staff attendance
Track employee clock-in and clock-out times, monitor late arrivals, and generate attendance reports by staff member or date range. Get a clear picture of workforce reliability and use attendance data to inform scheduling decisions.
Payroll
Automate salary calculations with support for deductions, tax withholdings, and bonuses. Generate professional pay slips for every employee and keep a complete payroll history. Save hours every pay period and eliminate manual calculation errors.
Expense tracking
Record and categorize every business expense, from utility bills to equipment repairs. Generate expense reports by category, date range, or branch to understand where your money goes and find opportunities to cut costs.
Double-entry accounting
Maintain a proper chart of accounts, record journal entries, and generate financial reports including profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow statements. Keep your books accurate and audit-ready without needing separate accounting software.
AI bakery assistant
Ask questions about your bakery in plain language. "What was our best-selling product last week?" or "How much flour do we need for tomorrow's production?" Get instant answers pulled from your live data, no reports or filters needed.
Workflow automation
Set up triggers that handle routine tasks automatically. When ingredient stock drops below threshold, a purchase order is generated. When a production batch is completed, inventory updates instantly. Reduce manual work and eliminate forgotten steps.
Internal messaging
Communicate with your team in real time without leaving the system. Coordinate between bakers, cashiers, and managers. Share updates about production schedules, stock issues, or customer requests instantly.
Document management
Upload and organize business documents, supplier contracts, health certificates, and more. Generate professional invoices and receipts directly from the system. Keep everything in one place and accessible to authorized staff.
Notifications and alerts
Receive timely alerts for low ingredient stock, expiring products, upcoming production schedules, and pending orders. Stay ahead of problems instead of reacting to them. Customize which alerts each role receives.
Audit trail
Every action taken in the system is logged with the user, timestamp, and details of what changed. Track who modified a recipe, adjusted stock, voided a sale, or changed a price. Maintain full accountability across your operation.
Leave management
Handle staff leave requests and approvals digitally. Employees submit requests, managers approve or decline, and the system tracks remaining leave balances. Plan staffing around upcoming absences with full visibility.
Shift management
Schedule baker and cashier shifts across your locations. Assign staff to morning bake, afternoon counter, or closing shifts. Avoid understaffing during peak hours and ensure coverage across all positions.
Performance reviews
Conduct structured staff evaluations with ratings, comments, and goal tracking. Document performance over time, identify top performers, and address issues early. Build a stronger, more accountable bakery team.
Announcements
Post announcements that reach your entire team or specific branches. Share new product launches, policy changes, schedule updates, or company news. Make sure important information reaches every staff member.
Settings and branding
Customize your system with your bakery's name, logo, brand colors, preferred currency, timezone, and language. Make the platform feel like your own and ensure all generated documents carry your branding.
