Store to Kitchen — Inventory, Production & Pricing Intelligence

Your storefront automatically shows real stock levels, creates production tasks from orders, and alerts you to pricing issues.

What You'll Learn

How your online store connects directly to your bakery operations — showing real stock levels, creating production tasks automatically, and alerting you to pricing issues.

Inventory-Aware Storefront

Your store automatically shows "Low Stock" and "Sold Out" badges based on real ingredient levels — not just manual product stock toggles.

How It Works

  • For each recipe-based product, the system checks every ingredient's current stock against the recipe's requirements
  • It calculates how many full batches you can make from available ingredients
  • Less than 1 batch possible: "Sold Out" badge (red) — Add to Cart disabled if "Block When Out of Stock" is on
  • 1-3 batches possible: "Low Stock" badge (amber)
  • More than 3 batches: Normal display
Performance: Stock calculations are cached and refresh every 2 minutes, so your store stays fast even with complex recipes. Updates appear automatically as you receive deliveries or use inventory.

Order-to-Production Pipeline

When a storefront order is confirmed (payment received), production tasks are automatically created in your Production Schedule.

How It Works

  1. Customer places and pays for a storefront order
  2. Each recipe-based item in the order becomes a Production Task
  3. Tasks are scheduled for the order's due date minus the product's lead time
  4. If no production schedule exists for that date, one is auto-created
  5. Your bakers see storefront orders in their production view — no manual entry needed
Tip: Set accurate lead times on your products (in Product settings) so production tasks are scheduled with enough time for preparation.

Smart Pricing Suggestions

The system analyzes your recipe costs against storefront prices to flag margin issues.

What Gets Flagged

  • Critical: Products with margins below 10% — you may be losing money
  • Warning: Products with margins between 10-25% — below the recommended 40% target
  • Info: Products with margins above 65% — consider if the price is competitive

Suggestions include a recommended price to reach a 40% margin. All suggestions are logged in the AI Suggestion Log for your review. This is a staff-only feature — customers never see pricing analysis.

Plan Availability

  • Inventory badges and production pipeline: Growth and Scale plans
  • Smart pricing suggestions: Scale plan only
  • No AI token cost: Inventory and production features use direct database queries, not LLM calls

Frequently Asked Questions

How does BakeOnyx update my online store's stock levels?

BakeOnyx automatically updates your online store based on actual ingredient inventory. When a product is ordered, it deducts the required ingredients. The system then calculates how many batches can be made. If less than one batch is possible, it shows 'Sold Out'; if 1-3 batches are possible, it shows 'Low Stock'. These calculations are cached and refresh every two minutes.

How are production tasks created from online orders?

Once a customer pays for an order on your storefront, BakeOnyx automatically creates production tasks. Each item in the order becomes a task, scheduled for the order's due date minus the product's lead time. If no production schedule exists for that date, one is created. Bakers see these tasks directly, eliminating manual entry.

What kind of pricing insights does BakeOnyx offer?

BakeOnyx analyzes your recipe costs against your storefront prices to flag margin issues. It identifies products with margins below 10% (critical), between 10-25% (warning), and above 65% (info). It also suggests optimal prices to achieve a 40% margin, all logged for staff review and hidden from customers.

Which BakeOnyx plans include inventory and production features?

The inventory-aware storefront and order-to-production pipeline features are included in both the Growth and Scale plans. These core operational features leverage direct database queries, meaning there is no additional AI token cost associated with their use, ensuring efficient and cost-effective management.

Can BakeOnyx help me price my products competitively?

Yes, BakeOnyx provides smart pricing suggestions by analyzing your recipe costs against your current selling prices. It flags products with low margins and recommends adjustments to achieve a target 40% margin. This feature helps ensure your prices are both profitable and competitive in the market.
