Bakery software features for home and micro bakers
These are the bakery software features in Farinu: it costs every recipe down to the box and the oven time, suggests a price from the markup you set over cost, warns you when an ingredient price rise eats into your profit, and keeps your orders, sales, production and stock in one place. Each page below explains one feature, with a worked example, and says plainly whether it is live today or still planned.
Live bakery software features you can use today
Costing is the core: ingredients, packaging, sub-recipes like a buttercream used in several cakes, your labour, machines and overhead. From that cost Farinu suggests prices from a target markup and keeps separate price lists, for example retail and wholesale.
Around the costing sits the rest of a small bakery: customers with their WhatsApp number, custom orders with a deposit and a balance payment, an order calendar with daily limits, an online shop where customers order, a sales log, a monthly profit and loss, a production plan and log, purchases and stock. An AI assistant imports recipes from a photo or a spreadsheet, and an MCP server lets you ask Claude or ChatGPT about your own numbers.
