Stop Adding Up Order Tickets by Hand

Every morning, your bake team gathers around a pile of order tickets. Someone pulls out a calculator. Someone else grabs a pen. You're adding croissants from the 6 a.m. wholesale order, plus the croissants from three separate retail orders, plus the croissants that came in at 11 p.m. last night. By the time you have a real number, fifteen minutes have passed—and there's a good chance the math is wrong.

Then there's the wholesale list, which lives on a different printout. And the retail orders, which are scattered across email and your order form. Your bake team ends up working from multiple sheets, some of which got printed yesterday and are already out of date.

This workflow costs you time, introduces errors, and leaves your bake team without a single source of truth for what needs to happen today.

The Baker's Summary Solves This

BakeOnyx's Baker's Summary is a single printable sheet that shows every product you need to bake today, with totals automatically calculated across all orders—wholesale, retail, and everything in between. No manual math. No multiple lists. No outdated printouts.

You print it once each morning, hand it to your bake team, and they have everything they need.

How It Works

Step 1: Orders Flow Into BakeOnyx

Throughout the day and night, orders come in through your online store, your wholesale customers, or orders you enter yourself. Each order is logged with its products, quantities and customer. BakeOnyx holds all of this data in one place.

Step 2: Access the Baker's Summary

At the start of your bake day, open BakeOnyx and navigate to the Baker's Summary. The feature automatically pulls in all orders scheduled for today—no manual selection needed. You see every product across every order, organized by item.

Step 3: Review Totals at a Glance

The summary shows you the total quantity of each product you need to bake. If you need 24 croissants today (whether that's 12 from a wholesale order, 8 from a retail customer, and 4 from another order), the Baker's Summary shows "24 croissants"—not three separate line items. The math is done for you.

Step 4: Print and Hand to the Bake Team

Print the Baker's Summary directly from BakeOnyx, or export it as Excel or CSV. It's a clean, organized sheet designed to be read quickly in a busy bakery. Give it to your bake team, and they have their marching orders for the day.

Step 5: Update as Orders Change

If a new order comes in after you print, you can reprint the updated summary—and it will reflect the new totals instantly. Your bake team always has the current, accurate picture.

Why This Matters

Eliminates manual math errors. Adding up totals by hand is fast—until it's wrong. A miscounted batch of sourdough loaves means you're either short for a customer or you've baked too much. The Baker's Summary calculates totals automatically, removing the human error from the process.

Unifies wholesale and retail orders. You no longer need separate lists for wholesale and retail. Everything is on one sheet, organized by product. Your bake team sees the full picture of what's needed, regardless of order source.

Keeps your team working from current data. Old printouts go stale the moment a new order arrives. The Baker's Summary is always up to date. If you reprint it, your team gets the latest numbers—no guessing about whether that last order made it in.

Saves time in the morning. Instead of spending 10–15 minutes hunting for tickets and calculating totals, you print one sheet and hand it over. That's time your bake team spends actually baking.

Real Bakery Example

Consider a small wholesale and retail bakery that takes orders through their website, email, and phone. On a typical morning:

• Without Baker's Summary: The owner collects order tickets, separates them into piles, and manually adds up quantities for each product. Croissants appear on four different tickets. Sourdough appears on six. By the time the totals are written down, it's 6:15 a.m., and the bake team is waiting. One number gets written down wrong. Later, a customer calls—they're one dozen short.

• With Baker's Summary: The owner opens BakeOnyx at 5:45 a.m., clicks Baker's Summary, and prints. The sheet shows "48 croissants, 32 sourdough loaves, 16 focaccia." The bake team has it in their hands by 5:50 a.m. and starts work immediately. No math. No mistakes. No delays.

Who Benefits Most

The Baker's Summary is most valuable for bakeries that:

• Take orders from multiple channels (website, email, phone, wholesale partners)
• Bake for both wholesale and retail customers
• Need accuracy and speed in production planning
• Want to reduce manual work in the morning routine

Even small bakeries with just a few orders a day benefit from having one clear, printed list instead of hunting through tickets.
