Bakery management system: counter sales, daily bakes and stock
What a bakery management system should handle: quick counter sales, items that sell out through the day, table orders and stock, with a free plan to start.

A bakery sells a menu that changes by the hour. The morning loaves are gone by ten, the afternoon batch comes out at two, and the display case decides what you can sell. A bakery management system has to keep up with that, not just add up a bill.
What a bakery needs
- A quick counter screen with photos, so new staff find items fast.
- One tap to mark an item sold out, and one tap to bring it back after the next bake.
- Takeaway as the default, with table orders if you have seating.
- Receipts that print cleanly from a browser.
- A daily total of what sold, so tomorrow’s bake is a decision and not a guess.
How it works at the counter
In GiveMyMenu, the counter runs on the point of sale. Staff tap the items, record cash or card, and the receipt is ready to print. If you have tables, each one gets a QR code and guests order from their seat. The moment a tray is empty, mark the item sold out and it leaves both the counter screen and the QR menu, so nobody orders what you cannot serve.
Stock and daily sales
The paid plans add inventory tracking for ingredients and stock, plus detailed reports of what sold by day and by item. Together they answer the two questions a baker asks every evening: what do I need to buy, and how much should I make tomorrow?
Getting started
- Add your items with photos, or photograph your price board and use the AI menu import.
- Group them the way your case is laid out: bread, pastries, cakes, drinks.
- Set up the counter login and, if you have seating, your tables.
- Run a morning on it before you retire the old till.
Free plan and trial
The Free plan covers one bakery with the POS, QR ordering, a kitchen display, print views and payment recording, for up to 10 tables and 2 staff accounts. There is no card and no expiry. New accounts get 90 days of Pro features at launch, which is long enough to see a full season of stock and sales reports before you choose a plan.
What it does not do
GiveMyMenu is not a production planner. It does not schedule bakes, cost recipes or manage advance cake orders with a pickup date. Keep your order book for custom cakes, and use the system for what sells over the counter each day.
