Every order you take on Square — in PRIMS, without re-typing.
CafeKit reads your Square account — register sales, Square Online preorders, and DoorDash & Uber Eats orders that flow through Square — totals everything by item, date, and location, and builds a PRIMS ship-ticket file you download and upload. No re-typing.
Getting Square Orders Into PRIMS Right Now
Orders come in from a few different places, and none of them land in PRIMS automatically. So someone on your team adds them up and types them in.
Four Order Channels, Zero Automatic Totals
Register, Square Online, DoorDash, Uber Eats — they all land in Square. But Square doesn't add them up for PRIMS, and PRIMS can't pull them in on its own.
Someone Has to Add It All Up by Hand
That means pulling numbers from multiple Square reports, adding them up yourself, and keying each item into PRIMS — or skipping it and flying blind.
Preorders Get Counted on the Wrong Day
A cake ordered today for pickup next Friday shows up in today's Square numbers — not Friday's. If no one manually moves it, that batch gets built short.
20–30 Minutes of Typing, Every Bake Day
With 50+ items across multiple locations, that's a half-hour of data entry before the oven even comes on — and one transposed number means a mis-built batch.
Before & After
From scattered order screens and a handwritten tally to one ready-to-upload file.
Without CafeKit — adding it up by hand:
Square register: 14 Sourdough
Square Online: 6 Sourdough, 4 Cakes
DoorDash: 3 Sourdough
Uber Eats: 2 Sourdough
... add it all up on paper ...
Now type every number into PRIMS by hand...

How It Works
Connect your Square account once. After that, building the PRIMS file for any day takes seconds.
Connect your Square account
CafeKit reads every channel that flows through your Square account — register sales, Square Online preorders, and DoorDash and Uber Eats orders routed through Square. Nothing changes about how you take orders today.
CafeKit totals everything up
CafeKit adds up every order by item, date, and location. Preorders are automatically counted on the day they're due — not the day the customer placed them. No paper tally required.
Export the PRIMS file
Click Export → PRIMS – Excel File. You get a file in the exact layout PRIMS expects — six columns, PO numbers already generated (ship date plus each location's ship-to code), one row per item per location.
Upload it into PRIMS
Import the file in PRIMS the same way you always have. No re-typing, no missed channels, no transposed numbers. You review what's in the file and decide when it goes in — you're always in control.
CafeKit and PRIMS, each doing what it does best
CafeKit's job is to gather your Square order data and turn it into accurate, ready-to-use production numbers. PRIMS takes it from there — lot traceability, compliance, and everything else it already handles for your bakery. You're not replacing PRIMS; you're just stopping the daily re-typing.
