CafeKit + Square POS

Production Planning for Bakeries

CafeKit connects to your Square POS account and turns your orders into daily production lists. See exactly how many of each item you need to make — with preorders on the right date, walk-in sales separated, and demand forecasts based on your sales history.

Free early access. No credit card required.

Square handles:

  • Taking orders
  • Processing payments
  • Online store
  • Receipt printing

CafeKit adds:

  • Daily production lists
  • Preorder date correction
  • Walk-in/preorder separation
  • Demand forecasting
  • Multi-location views

Square captures the sale. CafeKit answers the question that comes next: "What do I need to make today?"

Features

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.
