Mobile & Tablet Access: What Changes About Your Week
It's Saturday at 2 PM. Your hands are covered in buttercream. A customer calls with a rush order: a 2-tier wedding cake for tomorrow, 6-inch and 9-inch, fondant finish, custom flowers. You need to quote a price in the next 60 seconds. Right now, you either guess ($280? $320?) or you tell them you'll call back Monday. Either way, you lose the order or leave money on the table. With BakeOnyx on your iPad, you open the app, tap your wedding cake recipe, scale it to the sizes they need, and see the ingredient cost is $28.47. You know your markup. You quote $185 with confidence. The customer books it. You tap "Confirmed" and your staff sees it on the kitchen display the next morning — no email, no phone call, no sticky note on the mixer. That's what changes. You stop being tethered to your desk. You price orders from the kitchen. You check if you have enough cream cheese from the walk-in. You see what needs proofing before you leave for the day. Your staff knows what to bake without asking you. Tax season is an export, not a panic.
How It Works
Open BakeOnyx on your iPad or phone — no desktop required
You're at the shop or at home. You tap the BakeOnyx app. You log in once. The app loads your recipes, orders, inventory, and customer list. Everything syncs in real time with your desktop version — if your staff updated an order in the morning, you see it immediately. If you price an order on your iPad at 2 PM, your accountant sees it on the dashboard at 3 PM.
Search and scale a recipe in 20 seconds
A customer calls asking for a 7-inch chocolate cake. You tap the search bar, type "chocolate cake," and your 6-inch recipe appears. You tap "Scale This Recipe." The app shows you need 650g flour instead of 600g, 280g butter instead of 260g. The ingredient cost updates to $6.84 instead of $6.32. You see the cost per portion. You quote the price before the customer finishes their sentence.
Check live inventory without walking to the storage room
Before you confirm the order, you tap the Inventory tab. You see: "Cream cheese: 2,100g available. Thursday orders need 1,800g. You have enough." If you didn't have enough, the app would flag it in red and suggest you reorder today. You don't have to remember what you bought last week or guess how much you've used.
Create and send a quote in one tap
You've scaled the recipe. You've checked inventory. Now you tap "Create Quote." The app fills in the customer's name, the order details, the price, and today's date. You review it on your screen. You tap "Send Quote" and the customer gets an email with a link to confirm. No typing. No leaving your station.
Move the order through your pipeline as it progresses
The customer confirms the order. The status changes from "Quote" to "Confirmed Order" automatically. Your staff sees it on the kitchen display: "2-tier chocolate cake, 6-inch and 7-inch, delivery Tuesday 3 PM." On Tuesday morning, you tap "In Production." By 2 PM, you tap "Ready for Pickup." The customer gets an email saying their order is ready. No phone call. No guessing when they'll show up.
Ask the AI Bake Buddy what you need to prep today
You're in the car between deliveries on Wednesday afternoon. You pull out your phone and ask the Bake Buddy: "What do I need to prep for tomorrow?" It scans your confirmed orders for Thursday and tells you: "3 wedding cakes, 12 cupcake batches, 2 sheet cakes. Start your cake batter at 5 AM." It's based on your actual orders, not a generic checklist. You don't call the shop to ask your staff. You don't forget anything.

Benefits
Price custom orders while you're decorating, not after you close
You don't have to step away from the piping bag, wash your hands, find a calculator, and do math. You price on your iPad in 45 seconds. The customer gets an answer before they hang up. You book the order instead of losing it to the bakery down the street.
Price a 3-tier custom cake in 45 seconds instead of 10 minutes — and never guess a price again
Stop running out of ingredients on Saturday mornings
You check your inventory on your phone Thursday afternoon. The app tells you: "You have 600g vanilla extract. Friday and Saturday orders need 850g. Reorder today." You text your supplier. By Friday morning, it's there. You don't discover the shortage at 6 AM on Saturday when you're already behind.
Catch ingredient shortages 24-48 hours early — zero emergency supplier calls
Your staff knows what to bake without calling you
You clock in at 5 AM. You don't open a notebook or check a sticky note. You open the app on the kitchen tablet. It shows: "Today's bake list: 4 batches chocolate cake, 2 batches vanilla, 1 batch lemon, 24 cupcakes assorted, 3 sheet cakes." Every batch is linked to a customer order. Your staff knows the deadline for each one. They don't interrupt you with questions.
Cut morning communication time by 15 minutes — no more "What are we making today?" calls
See your profit on every order, right when you price it
You scale a recipe. The app shows ingredient cost: $12.40. You set your selling price: $45. The app shows your profit: $32.60 (72% margin). You know immediately if you're pricing too low. You don't discover in December that cupcakes were underpriced all year.
Know your margin on every order before you confirm it — catch underpriced products within 30 days, not 12 months
Handle 30 wedding cake inquiries in June without losing a thread
June is chaos. 30 couples email or call. With BakeOnyx, every inquiry is logged in one place. You see: "Sarah — 8/15 wedding, 4-tier, fondant, quote sent 6/2, awaiting confirmation." "Jessica — 8/22 wedding, 3-tier, buttercream, quote sent 6/3, confirmed." You don't lose an email. You don't forget to follow up. Your conversion rate goes up because you actually respond to inquiries.
Track 30+ inquiries without losing a single one — follow-up rate increases by 40%
Export your financials for tax season in one click
It's January and your accountant asks for your 2024 sales and expenses. You open BakeOnyx on your phone. You tap "Reports" → "Annual Summary." You hit "Export to PDF." You email it. Done. No spreadsheet. No reconciling three different notebooks. No weekend of data entry.
Cut tax prep time from 8 hours to 15 minutes — one export instead of three spreadsheets
