A TEAM THAT ALWAYS KNOWS THEIR SCHEDULE Employees see their shifts, time-off requests and preferred days right on their phone, with reminders before every shift. They request time off, offer and pick up shifts, and tell you which days they would like to work. Fewer surprises, fewer no-shows, and no more texting the schedule around.

BakeryMinder is an operations manager built for small bakeries, cottage bakers, pastry teams, and food businesses that need more than a notebook or spreadsheet. Keep your bakery organized from recipe planning through production, orders, events, inventory, equipment, contacts, and reporting. BakeryMinder brings the daily details of running a bakery into one connected workspace, so you can see what needs attention and keep work moving. ———————————— PLAN PRODUCTIONS WITH CONFIDENCE ———————————— Turn recipes into production runs and verify what you need before you start. Check ingredients, equipment, supplies, and production steps so shortages and missing details are easier to catch before the bake begins. During production, follow step-by-step instructions, track progress, use timers, and complete each stage as work gets done. ———————————— MANAGE RECIPES LIKE PRODUCTION ASSETS ———————————— Store detailed recipes with ingredients, batch sizes, production steps, allergens, required equipment, supplies, notes, linked resources, and production history. Recipes connect to production planning, cost awareness, inventory, and order fulfillment. ———————————— TRACK ORDERS FROM REQUEST TO DELIVERY ———————————— Manage custom orders, recurring orders, customer details, line items, payments, delivery information, notes, and production links. Keep order status clear from draft and pending through production, ready, delivered, paid, completed, or cancelled. ———————————— ORGANIZE EVENTS AND CATERING ———————————— Plan catering jobs, pickup days, markets, weddings, classes, and other bakery events. Track locations, setup requirements, budgets, contacts, equipment, supplies, and related production items. For larger jobs, keep production and event details connected instead of scattered across separate tools. ———————————— MONITOR INVENTORY AND INGREDIENTS ———————————— Track ingredient purchases, costs, vendors, expirations, restrictions, and low-stock thresholds. Monitor production batches in inventory so you know what finished goods are active, used, or expired. Ingredient dashboards help you watch usage, cost, waste, low stock, and upcoming expirations. ———————————— KEEP EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES READY ———————————— Track ovens, mixers, refrigerators, smallwares, and other equipment with status, condition, maintenance schedules, alerts, warranty details, notes, and linked resources.
