The kitchen and the counter keep separate books
Production knows what it made, the outlet knows what it sold, and nobody can reconcile the difference into a waste number anyone trusts.
Bakeries & Sweet Shops
Bakery software that connects the kitchen to the counter
Made today, sold today, counted either way.
When production and retail happen hours apart, waste is the enemy and the trail between them is where control lives. VAP treats central kitchens and production units as sites of their own, records finished goods transferring to each outlet, prices the same product by box, kilogram or piece, and lets customers order online against what the outlet actually has.
What gets in the way
Where bakeries & sweet shops lose time and money
One product, three ways to price it
The same sweet sells by the piece, by the kilo and in a festival box. Systems that hold one unit force manual pricing at the counter.
Festival demand is guesswork
Peak season doubles throughput, and without last year's real numbers per outlet the bake plan is a guess that turns into waste or a stock-out.
What you get
Set up for bakeries & sweet shops
Production sites in the model
Central kitchens and production units are sites of their own, transferring finished goods to outlets with a full trail.
Short shelf lives, tracked
Batch tracking with FEFO keeps today's stock moving first and quantifies exactly what gets written off.
Box, kilo or piece
Price by weight, box or piece from the same stock, with conversions carrying cost correctly.
Counter billing
Fast POS per outlet with every tender type, plus dine-in, takeaway and delivery as order types.
Inter-site transfers
Every tray leaving the kitchen for an outlet is a recorded movement, not a delivery note in a drawer.
Purchasing for ingredients
PO to goods receipt on raw materials with supplier price lists, so ingredient cost is captured rather than estimated.
Customer & occasion history
One party record across counter and online, which is what makes a festival campaign land.
GST built in
Invoices, credit notes and GST reports from the same records you already billed.
In practice
What that looks like on a normal day
- 01
The daily dispatch from the kitchen
Trays go out to each outlet as recorded transfers, so what was made, what was sent and what was sold reconcile into a real waste figure.
- 02
Festival assortments
Build a box from existing stock and price it as its own line, without inventing a second catalogue.
- 03
Online cake and sweet orders
Customers order online against the outlet that will actually fulfil them, from stock that outlet holds.

Vritti builds and deploys your ordering site on Next.js and Payload CMS, reading live catalogue and per-outlet availability from VAP.
Order ahead in Voop
When Voop ships, your regulars will be able to order ahead from a mini app inside the super app, on the same stock.
FAQ
Bakery & Sweets — Frequently asked questions
Can it handle a central kitchen supplying several outlets?
Yes. Production units and central kitchens are sites in their own right. Finished goods transfer from the kitchen to each outlet as recorded inventory movements, so production, dispatch and sales reconcile into a real waste number.
Can I sell the same product by piece, by kilo and in a box?
Yes. Unit-of-measure conversions let one stock item be sold by weight, by piece or as a packed assortment, with cost carried correctly through each conversion.
Does it track short shelf lives?
Yes. Batch tracking with FEFO picking moves the oldest stock first and records what gets written off, so waste becomes a measured figure rather than an estimate.
Can customers order cakes or sweets online?
Yes. Vritti builds and deploys your online ordering site reading live per-outlet availability from VAP, so orders route to the outlet that can actually fulfil them.
Does it work for a single shop with its own kitchen?
Yes. A single shop with an attached kitchen can run as one site or as a production site plus an outlet, depending on whether you want the transfer trail between them.
