What CafeKit Adds to Square
The problem
Square shows preorders on the order date, not the pickup date
Orders on the day you need them ready
CafeKit shows every order on its fulfillment date with item quantities summed. A preorder placed Monday for Friday pickup shows up on Friday.
The problem
No way to see a combined list of everything due for a specific day
One list with totals per item
Select any date and see how many of each item you need across all orders. Three customers order brownies? You see "Brownies: 3" — not three separate orders to count.
The problem
Square reports mix preorders and walk-in sales, inflating daily numbers
Know what was pre-sold vs. what walked in
CafeKit separates preorders from walk-in sales so your daily numbers reflect what actually happened at the register.
The problem
Guessing how much to make based on gut feeling or old spreadsheets
Forecasts based on your actual sales history
See historical sales patterns by day of week with volatility scoring. Know whether an item is steady or unpredictable before you decide how many to make.
The problem
Commissary kitchens need combined views across locations
Filter by location or see combined totals
If you produce for multiple locations, see a combined production list or filter by individual location.
