Know exactly how much to bake — every day, every location.
See what the same day of the week actually sold — average, range, how steady — plus preorders due that day, all in one row. Copy last week in one click. You see the facts; you set the number.
Planning the Bake Is Still a Daily Guess
You know your product and your customers. But deciding how much to make each morning still comes down to gut feeling — and that gets expensive fast.
Too Much or Too Little — Both Cost You
Overbake and you toss it at close. Underbake and you're sold out by 10am, turning customers away. Both happen because there's no easy way to check what last week actually sold.
Your Sales History Is Buried in Square
When you plan this Tuesday, digging up what last Tuesday sold means running reports, exporting data, or just guessing from memory. So you guess.
Preorders Are Scattered Across Square
Preorders sit in Square one order at a time. You don't see the total due Friday until you've already planned — or worse, until it's already in the oven.
Multiple Shops, Multiple Spreadsheets
More than one location? You're rebuilding the same item list every morning — once per shop, in separate tabs or separate heads.
Your Daily Bake Plan — With and Without Sales History
A good bakery production plan shows the same-weekday history right in each row, so you decide with facts — not gut feeling. Here's the same Tuesday morning, two ways.
Without CafeKit — going on memory:
Sourdough Loaves: "I think we'll need ~30?"
No idea what last Tuesday sold.
Forgot about the 8 preorders due today.
Cross your fingers and hope it's close.
With CafeKit — history right in the row:
| Signal | Value |
|---|---|
| Last 4 Tuesdays sold | 24–36 |
| Preorders due today | 8 |
| How steady? | Pretty steady |
| Your call: make | 34 |
CafeKit shows the history and the preorders. You decide the number — the difference is you're deciding with facts, not a hunch.
Everything in One Grid
CafeKit's multi-location bakery production plan shows each item in a single row: same-weekday sales history, preorders due that day, and a quantity field per location — all auto-saved, no spreadsheet required.
Per-Location Grid
Each location gets its own column. Type a number and it saves immediately — no Save button, no lost work if someone closes the tab.
Same-Weekday History
Right in the row: the average, the low-to-high range, and how steady sales have been — all for the same day of the week, pulled from your own Square history.
Preorder Coverage
Preorders from Square are totaled by the day they're due and shown right in the plan. A banner flags anything preordered that isn't on your plan yet — before it slips through.
Quick-Copy From Last Week
One click pulls in last week's same weekday — or yesterday. Tweak the numbers and you're done. Your item list is already there; you never rebuild from scratch.
Notes & Special-Order Flags
Flag special orders — wedding cake, kosher, gluten-free — right on the plan, so the team sees what's different before they start the bake.
Past Days Lock Automatically
Once a day ends — in that location's own time zone — the plan locks. Your history stays clean and no one edits yesterday's numbers by accident.
Export When You're Ready
Turn the finished plan into a CSV, a PRIMS-ready file you upload into PRIMS, or a printable ship ticket — one packing list per location — for the kitchen or the packing station.
