Stop Losing Track of 50 Orders Across 3 Shifts. Know Exactly What to Bake, When, and for Whom.
Bulk bakery order production management that actually works for bakeries running 200+ kg of dough a week across multiple customer orders.
See your entire week's production schedule in one view, price a 200-unit custom order in 90 seconds, and cut your Friday-night production confusion by 3 hours.
It's Tuesday at 2 PM. You have 47 confirmed orders for the week, 12 new inquiries in your inbox, and your head baker just asked what you need from him for Thursday's production run. You're standing in the middle of the kitchen, trying to remember which customer wants chocolate fondant on their 150-unit cupcake order and which one needs it buttercream. Your notebook has notes from three different days crossed out and rewritten. Your spreadsheet has six tabs and nobody agrees on which one is current. Bulk bakery order production management — tracking dozens of orders through every stage from quote to delivery — shouldn't require a second brain. It shouldn't require you to text your team at 6 AM with the bake list. It shouldn't mean spending Wednesday night recalculating ingredient costs because a customer added 50 more units to their order.

Sound Familiar?
“You have 47 orders live, and you're not sure if your team knows what to bake today”
Right now, you're managing bulk orders in a mix of email, text, and a shared Google Sheet that nobody updates in real time. Your head baker prints the bake list from yesterday morning. A customer emails a change at 10 AM. You call the kitchen. They've already started. You're losing time, wasting ingredients, or delivering the wrong product. A 150-unit corporate cupcake order shows up in your inbox on Tuesday. You need to know: ingredient cost, labor hours, delivery timeline, and final price. You're doing this math in your head while a customer waits on the phone.
“You're pricing bulk orders by guessing, not by actual ingredient costs”
You know a 200-unit cupcake order costs you something, but you're not sure what. You quote $1.50 per unit because that's what you've always charged. Then you realize you're using organic butter now, not the cheap stuff. Your margin just disappeared. For a 50-unit wedding cake order, you're adding up fondant, ganache, buttercream, and labor in your head. You either overprice and lose the order or underprice and work for free. You have no way to quickly see which of your 15 recipes are actually profitable.
“You're running out of ingredients mid-production because nobody knows what's coming”
Thursday morning, you're halfway through a 300-unit cookie order and you realize you need 8 kg more butter. You don't have it. Your supplier can't deliver until tomorrow. You're calling around, paying rush fees, or telling a customer you're delayed. This happens because you don't have a clear view of next week's orders and what they need. You're reordering vanilla extract based on a gut feeling, not based on what's actually scheduled.
“You're spending 4 hours every Sunday night pricing next week's orders”
You have 30 quotes to send out by Monday morning. You're copying recipe costs into a spreadsheet, adjusting for ingredient price changes, calculating labor, and trying to remember if you already quoted this customer this price. If a customer changes their order size mid-week, you have to redo all the math. You're doing this alone, late at night, when you're tired and making mistakes.
“You have no idea if you're actually making money on bulk orders”
You're running a busy bakery. You're taking orders. You're baking. You're delivering. But at the end of the month, you have no clear picture of which orders made you money and which ones barely covered your costs. You're not tracking labor hours per order. You're not tracking ingredient waste. You're not comparing your quoted price to your actual cost. Tax season is a nightmare because you have no records.
One Dashboard for Every Order, From Quote to Paid Invoice
Monday morning, you log in and see your entire week: 47 confirmed orders, 12 pending quotes, 8 orders in production, 6 ready for delivery. Your head baker sees the bake list for today — exactly what to prep, in what quantities, with no guessing. A customer emails asking to add 50 units to their Thursday order. You update the order. BakeOnyx recalculates the cost, updates the invoice, and alerts your team that they need 2 kg more chocolate. You price a 200-unit corporate order in 90 seconds. You know your margin. You send the quote. You're not stressed. You're not guessing. You're managing.

How It Works
Enter Your Recipes Once
You log in and create your core recipes: your chocolate cake mix, your vanilla buttercream, your fondant. For each, you enter the ingredients and their costs. A 4000g cake mix costs $45 in ingredients. BakeOnyx calculates the cost per gram: $0.0113/g. You do this once. You never do it again.
A Customer Inquires About a Bulk Order
A corporate client emails: 'We need 200 cupcakes, chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream, for June 15.' You click 'New Order' in BakeOnyx. You enter: 200 units, cupcake recipe, chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream, delivery date. BakeOnyx calculates the ingredient cost ($67.50), suggests a labor cost based on your historical data, and shows you a total cost of $127. You add your markup. You quote $280. You send the quote from BakeOnyx. The customer confirms. The order moves to 'Confirmed' status.
Your Team Sees the Production Schedule
Your head baker opens BakeOnyx on Wednesday morning. She sees: June 15 production run includes 200 cupcakes (chocolate cake + vanilla buttercream), 150 macarons (pistachio), 50 wedding cake tiers (fondant). She sees ingredient requirements for each. She knows she needs 8 kg flour, 6 kg butter, 4 kg sugar, 2 kg chocolate. She starts prep. No confusion. No phone calls from you.
A Customer Changes Their Order
On Thursday, the corporate client calls: 'Can we add 50 more cupcakes?' You open the order in BakeOnyx. You change 200 to 250. BakeOnyx recalculates: new ingredient cost is $84.38, new total cost is $159. You adjust the invoice. You send the customer an updated quote. You get a text alert: 'Order 47 (250 cupcakes) now needs 10 kg flour, 7.5 kg butter, 5 kg sugar, 2.5 kg chocolate. Current inventory: 9 kg flour, 8 kg butter, 6 kg sugar, 3 kg chocolate. You're short on flour. Reorder now.' You text your supplier. Done.
The Order Ships, and You Get Paid
Friday, you deliver the 250 cupcakes. You mark the order 'Delivered' in BakeOnyx. The system sends the customer an invoice. You get paid. At the end of the month, you run a report: 'Profit by Product.' You see that your 200+ unit cupcake orders are your most profitable product. Your wedding cakes are barely breaking even. You adjust your pricing. You stop taking unprofitable orders. You know exactly what's working.

Before & After BakeOnyx
Pricing a 200-unit corporate cupcake order on the phone
Before
A corporate client calls at 2 PM on Tuesday asking for a price on 200 chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream, delivery Friday. You say 'Let me get back to you.' You hang up and spend 15 minutes calculating: 200 cupcakes × 45g per cupcake = 9000g cake mix. Your cake mix costs $45 for 4000g, so 9000g costs... you're doing the math on a calculator, then checking your ingredient list to see if butter prices have changed, then adding labor hours (you think it's 3 hours for 200 cupcakes, maybe 4?). You come up with $320 as a quote. You're not sure if that's right. You call the customer back and quote $320. They say they'll think about it. You never hear from them again. Later you realize you probably underpriced it by $40.
After
A corporate client calls at 2 PM on Tuesday. You say 'One second.' You open BakeOnyx on your iPad, click 'New Order,' enter: 200 cupcakes, chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream, Friday delivery. BakeOnyx shows: ingredient cost $67.50, labor cost (based on your historical data) $45, total cost $112.50. You add a 45% markup. Final price: $205. You quote $205. The customer confirms. You send an invoice from BakeOnyx. You know your margin. You're confident. The order is in the system. Your team sees it on Wednesday morning and starts prepping.
Managing ingredient inventory for a week of bulk orders
Before
It's Wednesday morning. You have 5 bulk orders due this week: 200 cupcakes, 150 macarons, 100 cookies, 50 wedding cake tiers, 300 brownies. You're standing in the kitchen trying to remember how much butter, flour, and sugar you need. You do rough math: maybe 15 kg butter? Maybe 12 kg flour? You're not sure. You place an order with your supplier, guessing. Thursday morning, your head baker tells you that you're short on flour — you only have 10 kg and you need 14 kg. You call your supplier. They can deliver Friday morning for a $50 rush fee. You're frustrated. You're paying extra money because you didn't plan.
After
It's Wednesday morning. You open BakeOnyx and click 'This Week's Production.' You see all 5 orders with ingredient requirements for each: 200 cupcakes (8 kg flour, 6 kg butter, 4 kg sugar), 150 macarons (3 kg flour, 2 kg butter, 1 kg sugar), 100 cookies (2 kg flour, 1.5 kg butter, 2 kg sugar), 50 wedding cake tiers (4 kg flour, 3 kg butter, 2 kg sugar), 300 brownies (5 kg flour, 4 kg butter, 3 kg sugar). Total: 22 kg flour, 16.5 kg butter, 12 kg sugar. You place one order with your supplier for exactly what you need. Thursday morning, you have everything. No rush fees. No stress. You save $50 and 30 minutes of phone calls.
Sending a production schedule to your team
Before
It's Wednesday evening. You're sitting at your desk with a notebook and a spreadsheet trying to figure out what your team needs to do Thursday and Friday. You have 8 orders scattered across your notes. You write out a bake list by hand: '200 cupcakes (chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream), 150 macarons (pistachio), 50 wedding cake tiers (fondant).' You email it to your head baker and text her a photo of the handwritten list. She calls you the next morning asking which order is priority and how much buttercream she should make. You're answering questions that should have been in the list. You're frustrated. Your team is frustrated.
After
It's Wednesday evening. You log into BakeOnyx and click 'Generate Bake List for Thursday.' BakeOnyx creates a detailed, prioritized list: '1. 200 Cupcakes (Chocolate Cake + Vanilla Buttercream) — Due Friday 4 PM — Ingredients: 8 kg flour, 6 kg butter, 4 kg sugar, 2 kg chocolate. Prep time: 3 hours. 2. 150 Macarons (Pistachio) — Due Friday 2 PM — Ingredients: 3 kg flour, 2 kg butter, 1 kg sugar. Prep time: 2 hours.' You email it to your head baker. She opens it Thursday morning. She knows exactly what to do. She doesn't call you. She doesn't guess. She just bakes.
Finding out which of your products are actually profitable
Before
It's end of month. You're trying to figure out if you're making money. You have a spreadsheet with revenue, but you don't have a clear picture of costs per order. You took a 150-unit wedding cake order for $600. You remember spending a lot of time on it, but you're not sure if you made money. You took a 300-unit cookie order for $450. You think that was profitable. You're guessing. You can't see which products are worth your time. You're not making pricing decisions. You're just taking orders and hoping they work out.
After
It's end of month. You log into BakeOnyx and click 'Profit by Product.' The report shows: Wedding Cakes (10 orders) — Average Cost: $180, Average Revenue: $450, Margin: 60%. Cupcakes (25 orders) — Average Cost: $65, Average Revenue: $185, Margin: 65%. Cookies (18 orders) — Average Cost: $35, Average Revenue: $95, Margin: 63%. Macarons (12 orders) — Average Cost: $40, Average Revenue: $125, Margin: 68%. You see that macarons are your most profitable product. You see that wedding cakes are actually more profitable than you thought. You see that cookies are lower margin. You adjust your pricing. You push macarons harder. You raise your wedding cake prices. You're making data-driven decisions. Your profit margin increases by 10% next month.
What Changes for You
Price a 200-unit bulk order in 90 seconds, not 20 minutes of math and guessing
You stop doing ingredient cost calculations in your head. You stop quoting prices and hoping they're right. A customer calls asking for 300 macarons. You enter the order, BakeOnyx shows you the cost ($54), you add your margin, you quote a price. The customer confirms. You've spent 90 seconds. You know your margin. You're confident in your price. Over a month of bulk orders, you save 8 hours of pricing time.
Cut your ingredient waste by 15% because you know what you're baking before you start
Right now, you're buying ingredients based on habit and hope. You're running out mid-production or over-buying. With BakeOnyx, you see your entire week's orders on Monday morning. You know you need 12 kg butter, 8 kg flour, 4 kg cream cheese. You buy exactly that. You're not throwing away expired ingredients. You're not paying rush delivery fees. Over a year, this saves you $2,000+ in wasted ingredients and emergency supplier fees.
Stop spending Sunday nights pricing orders — cut your admin time by 3 hours per week
You're not manually copying recipe costs into a spreadsheet anymore. You're not recalculating labor hours. You're not cross-referencing which customer got which price last month. BakeOnyx does this. You spend 15 minutes on Sunday night reviewing next week's orders, not 4 hours. That's 200 hours a year back in your life. That's 5 extra work weeks.
Know exactly which orders are profitable — stop undercharging for your best work
You run a 'Profit by Product' report. You see: your 100+ unit cupcake orders have a 45% margin. Your custom wedding cakes have a 22% margin. Your macarons have a 38% margin. You stop taking low-margin wedding cake orders. You raise your prices on macarons. You're not guessing anymore. You're making decisions based on real numbers. Your profit margin increases by 8-12% in the first three months.
Deliver orders on time, every time, because your team knows what's happening
Your head baker doesn't have to call you to ask what's on the schedule. She doesn't have to guess. She opens BakeOnyx, sees today's production run, and starts prepping. She knows ingredient requirements. She knows delivery deadlines. She knows what's urgent. You're not scrambling. You're not missing deliveries. You're not losing customers because of delays. Your on-time delivery rate goes from 92% to 99%.
