Bakery and patisserie

From quote to delivery for bakery and patisserie

Custom cakes get written in a diary. Pickup date, allergens and decoration get lost between the phone call and the kitchen.

What changes

Every product records weight, sponge, filling and allergens.

The pickup date sits on the order, so nothing is forgotten.

The kitchen sees what is due, day by day.

Your stages, ready configured

The account starts with these production stages. Change them any time from Settings.

Every stage records who worked on it, and when.

What it looks like on the shop floor

The operator interface is not the manager’s. A worker does not see the whole company — they see their own queue and two buttons.

A tablet in the kitchen and one at the decorating bench. The pastry chef signs in with a PIN and sees only today's and tomorrow's orders that reached their stage, with the recipe, the sponge and the requested decoration. Allergens are on the same sheet.

The operator screen: only the jobs that reached their stage

A tablet in the workshop, a PIN for each person

You do not need a computer at every station. A cheap tablet on the wall, next to the machine, is enough.

  1. The operator signs in with a four-digit PIN — no email, no password typed with dirty hands.
  2. They see only the jobs that reached their stage. Nobody has to tell them what is next.
  3. Two buttons: “In progress” when they start, “Done” when they finish.
  4. The job moves to the next stage on its own and appears in the next person’s list.
  5. The system records who worked and at what time — no handwritten timesheet.

Order status, live

Saturday morning, eleven cakes to deliver: one screen shows how many are baked, filled and decorated. The two o'clock collections stop depending on anyone's memory.

A concrete example

A 3 kg gluten-free cake for Saturday. The product is a template, the pickup date is on the order, and decoration appears as its own task.

Four things you will notice immediately

  • A cake is defined once — sponge, filling, size, decoration, allergens — and the next order starts from it.
  • Price comes from your own grid, by sponge and size, so it stops being "the same as last time".
  • The collection time is in the system, visible to everyone, not just on the counter slip.
  • You can see what is running in parallel and avoid landing three large cakes in the same morning.

Your customers can see their own orders and invoices

Every customer can be given an account. They sign in at the same address you do and see exactly what concerns them — their orders, the stage each one has reached, the quotes they were sent, and their invoices including anything unpaid.

  • They see only their own orders and documents — never another customer’s.
  • They can download a quote or an invoice as a PDF instead of calling you for a copy.
  • They see the stage each order has reached — the same information you see.
  • The account is optional: a customer with no email address stays in the register, simply without access.

What if that customer already has an account with another company?

One email address has exactly one account across the whole platform — that is what makes signing in unambiguous. If the address is already in use by another company, the app tells you so plainly when you save, and you have two options: use a different address for this customer (the contact person who deals with you, for instance), or leave the field empty — the customer stays in your register, with orders and invoices, just without app access. Your data is never visible to the other company.

What it does

Reusable templates

Define a product once — with your trade’s own fields — and run any number of orders from it.

Your own price grid

Operations down, variants across, a price in every cell. Quotes become consistent.

Production stages

Each order moves through your stages. Operators pick up and complete; the system records who and when.

Invoices and proformas

Automatic per-series numbering that never repeats. Outstanding balances in one click.

Production reporting

What was made, by whom, in what quantity, and where the flow is getting stuck.

Configured per trade

Fields, stages and the price grid arrive ready for the work you actually do.
