How do you organize a bakery?

As the owner of a bakery, you are responsible for many things, from buying the right ingredients to baking to being friendly to your customers. Life can get hectic, just imagine the oven beeping while simultaneously having a number of customers waiting to buy themselves some tasty bread.

An order management system can help to make life a whole lot easier, allowing your customers to order your croissants, donuts, and other baked goods right from their smartphone.

An ordering management system will be liked by your customer, but undoubtedly even more by you as a bakery owner. The reason for this is simple, before you open up your bakery in the morning you already approximately know how many baked goods you will sell that day.

This allows you to:

  • Be more precise
  • Bake and purchase the right quantity of products
  • Throw away less perfectly fine ingredients at the end of the day
  • Save money

Don’t get interrupted during baking, let your customers order themselves.

When to use an ordering management system with your bakery?

Every baker can probably relate that it almost seems like nobody is in the mood for some baked goodies. Imagine this horrible situation:

  • You woke up early
  • You baked off plenty of goods
  • No one comes into your bakery to actually buy them

That’s okay, you know tomorrow can be the complete opposite again. However, you cannot day-olds for the full price tomorrow. Solving this problem once and for all is by working with an online ordering management system for your bakery.

Such a system is exactly meant to prevent nightmare situations as described above. Clearly, not all of your customers will order their bread online but if only some of them do then you are already much better able to predict how much bread you need to place in the oven every day.

Besides, knowing the exact orders of some of your most loyal customers provides you with the chance of having their orders ready when they come in, giving you a bit more time to actually connect with them. Or a bit more time to help other customers since the line will be much more manageable.


Do all my customers have to order online when using an online ordering system with my bakery?

No. That is the short answer!

You cannot and should not want to force any customer to order online. An online ordering system gives you flexibility, helping those customers that want to order online while leaving room for those customers that want to order at the counter.

When someone walks into your bakery and orders a tasty donut there are two things you can do.

  1. You create the order right at that moment within the bakery software, allowing you to keep track of total bakery sales all in one place.
  2. You keep track in the more traditional way by saving up the receipts of all the orders. This again gives you the possibility to add all orders at a moment when the bakery is calm again.

Added plus when adding all the order to the system is that Vev comes with a built-in CRM, meaning it automatically stores all customer information you want online!

How to use an online ordering system with my bakery?

The usage of bakery software isn’t all that complicated. It all starts off with setting up your online store by providing the right details about your bakery. Such as: where is it located, what are the opening hours, and, not least importantly, what delicious baked goods you sell. Once your store is all set up it is recommended that you create a test order, this enables you to check whether everything is working as expected.

All check? Great! Now it is time to make sure that your customers can actually use your online bakery to order their daily bread. Share the link wherever you usually reach your customers, common places are your website, social media, and in-store.

Another great step is printing some new business cards with a QR code on it that leads directly to your ordering page. You can give out these business cards to all the customers that come into your store or reserve them for only the true regulars.

With the online ordering system from Vev, everything that is described above is literally done in less than 5 minutes. Making you able to receive online orders even today, if you are lucky!

  • Receive real orders
