Bake to demand, not to habit
Production planning against real sales history, recipe costing to the gram, and several delivery brands running off one prep list.
âWe were baking the same amount every day out of habit. Six weeks of demand-based planning cut our end-of-day waste by a third and we still sell out of the good stuff.â

The four things that quietly cost you money
Every industry has its own leaks. These are the ones we hear about most in this one.
Overproduction and end-of-day waste
Bake too much and you bin it. Bake too little and you turn customers away by 4pm.
Ingredient prices that move weekly
Butter and flour move, and menu prices do not - until someone finally does the maths.
Multiple brands, one kitchen
Three delivery brands sharing a prep area is impossible to cost without a system that keeps them separate.
Shelf life and rotation
Yesterday's product needs to move first, and nobody has time to check labels during service.
How it runs on SumPOS
Four steps, in the order they actually happen on your floor.
Plan the run
SumPOS proposes tomorrow's production from the last four weeks of sales, weekday patterns and upcoming orders.
Prep and produce
Issue ingredients against the run, record actual output, and see yield variance the same day.
Sell across brands
Counter sales, QR orders and each delivery brand draw from the same stock with their own menus and pricing.
Close and learn
Record wastage with reasons, compare theoretical to actual usage, and adjust tomorrow's plan.
What bakeries & cloud kitchens genuinely need
The features that are not optional in this industry, however good the rest of a system looks.
Production planning
Demand-based suggestions by day of week, with manual override and standing orders.
Recipe costing to the gram
Sub-recipes, yields and losses so a croissant carries a cost you would defend to an accountant.
Multi-brand menus
Separate storefronts and price points sharing one kitchen, one stock pool and one back office.
Shelf life & wastage
Production dates, best-before tracking and reason-coded wastage that feeds the next plan.
