Ingredients first
A bakery's margin is decided in the stockroom: flour, sugar, butter, cream, packaging. Selling a pastry without deducting its ingredients leaves you guessing at food cost. RestroAI links products to recipes so stock follows sales.
- Recipes: each product or variant carries a recipe of ingredient quantities.
- Purchase orders: with three-way match against the supplier's delivery and invoice, and supplier returns.
- Stock counts and waste: count the shelf, record what was binned, and see the difference.
- Transfers: move stock between outlets, for example from a central kitchen to shops.
The restaurant inventory page and the food cost guide cover this in more detail.
Counter sales and cake orders
The counter is walk-in traffic: boxes of mithai, a dozen rusks, a single slice. The POS handles takeaway billing, sized variants such as a 1 lb or 2 lb cake, and priced add-ons like a message on the cake or extra candles. Receipts show the add-on lines.
For cakes made to order, a product can be given a lead time in hours so the storefront shows it as a pre-order. This is a lead time on the product, not a full order-scheduling or deposit system; ask us if you need delivery slots or advance payments.
Bakeries with more than one outlet
Branch cloning copies a menu to a new outlet. Owner, regional manager, branch manager and staff roles control who sees what, and the control panel gives a cross-branch order overview. Pricing is per branch, so five outlets cost PKR 75,000 a month before extra capacity. See multi-branch.
| Per branch | Included in PKR 15,000 | Extra capacity |
|---|---|---|
| All features, website, mobile app | Every feature, no feature locks | Nothing extra |
| POS terminals | 1 | PKR 2,000/month each |
| Kitchen display (KDS) screens | 1 | PKR 1,000/month each |
| Riders | 3 | PKR 500/month each |
| Order takers | 5 | PKR 500/month each |
| Central ordering users | 1 | PKR 1,000/month each |
| Users in every other role (manager, kitchen, cashier, etc.) | 1 per role | PKR 500/month each |
Frequently asked questions
What is the best bakery POS software in Pakistan?
Choose one that links sales to recipes and ingredient stock, not only a till. RestroAI by Taiz does that along with online ordering for PKR 15,000 per branch per month. Simpler and cheaper tills exist, and some vendors have live FBR integration, which RestroAI does not yet.
Can the POS track ingredients like flour and butter?
Yes. Inventory covers ingredient stock, recipes, purchase orders with three-way match, supplier returns, stock counts, transfers and waste tracking.
Can customers pre-order a cake?
Partly. A product can have a lead time in hours and shows as a pre-order on the storefront. Full delivery-slot scheduling and advance payment deposits are not described as features, so ask us if you need them.
Can I run several bakery outlets?
Yes. Branch cloning, multi-branch roles and a control panel are included. Each outlet is PKR 15,000 a month.
Does it work if the internet goes down at the counter?
Yes. The POS keeps selling offline and syncs when the connection returns.
Do I pay extra for online ordering?
No. A branded ordering website and an Android customer app are included in the branch price, with no commission on orders.
