Bakery & sweets

POS software for bakeries and sweet shops

Bakeries and sweet shops bill a steady stream of fresh items, sell to caterers at trade rates and need to know what is close to its date. AIFFICIENTO runs the counter, the trade accounts and the stock of finished goods in one system.

The everyday problems

What slows a bakery & sweets shop down.

The morning rush

Early customers want a quick bill before the bread and sweets are gone. Slow billing means a long line at the counter.

Unsold stock with no record

Items left at the end of the day need tracking, and owners need to know what did not sell and why.

Bulk orders from caterers

Caterers and restaurants order in bulk at trade rates, often on credit. Those orders are easy to lose track of.

Daily cash that is hard to check

Cash from many small sales is counted at close with little record of what should be in the drawer.

How AIFFICIENTO handles it

Workflows built for your counter.

01
Quick counter billing

Use the touch layout with product tiles for loose sweets and bakes that have no barcode. Hold a bill when a queue forms.

02
Trade prices for caterers

Assign the wholesale tier to caterers and restaurant customers. Walk-in customers keep the retail price.

03
Expiry on packaged goods

Record expiry dates on each received batch of packaged goods you resell, such as biscuits, juices and boxed sweets.

04
Day-old and clearance promotions

Run % off or amount off promotions by category, inside a date window or during happy hours.

05
Credit for trade accounts

Set credit limits and print statements for caterers who pay on account, and send balance reminders when payments are due.

06
Shift and day close

Open a shift with a float, record cash in and out, count the drawer and close with expected versus counted cash.

A bakery sells fresh items all day and runs two rushes: the morning and the evening. The system should keep the counter fast and the cash simple, and make the trade orders easy to track.

Setup checklist

  1. Install the server on the shop PC and add the counter as a terminal.
  2. Set up the touch layout with product tiles for your most-sold items, so cashiers can bill without searching.
  3. Import the products you resell from Excel or CSV. Set the unit, the retail price and the wholesale price for each.
  4. Assign the wholesale tier to caterers and restaurant accounts.
  5. Record expiry dates on packaged goods as you receive them.
  6. Set up shifts for each cashier, with a standard opening float.
  7. Test a morning sale, a catering order on credit, a happy hour discount and the day close.

Recipes and production

AIFFICIENTO does not manage recipes, ingredient usage or production batches. It sells finished goods and tracks stock of items you buy in and resell. If you bake from raw ingredients, keep your production records in a separate book or sheet.

What to track every week

  • Sales by hour, to plan the morning and evening shifts.
  • Best sellers and the items that are left at the end of the day.
  • Margin by category.
  • Caterer dues, and the payments due this week.
  • Cash differences by shift.

Review the sales-by-hour report on Mondays, and use it to decide the morning bake plan.
