food&me for bakeries

One system to run your bakery

From the morning rush at 6am to checking your numbers at night — food&me handles the counter, the case, and the ovens.

Checkout

A checkout built for the 6am rush

The line moves fast, so your register should too. food&me shows your real menu — croissants, loaves, custom cakes, standing orders — so every item is one tap away.

  • Split one bill between friends buying different things.
  • Hold an order for later, like "picking up at 4, paying cash."
  • Take card, tap, or contactless payments without any hiccups.
  • Price bread by the loaf or by the kilo, on the same screen.

Customers

Customers who keep coming back

Most bakery sales happen before 10am. But loyalty is built after that. food&me gives you a free ordering website, so cake orders and Saturday pickups don't have to happen over the phone at 7am.

  • Email regular customers when your menu changes.
  • Reward loyal customers automatically, with no extra work.
Operations

One system for everything

A card reader here, a notebook there, a spreadsheet nobody updates. food&me brings payments, stock, and staff schedules into one simple system.

  • Know when you're low on flour, before you run out.
  • New staff can clock in with their phone, from day one.
  • Running two counters is as easy as running one.

Insights

Bake to demand, not to guesswork

Every unsold croissant at closing is a choice you made hours earlier, without the numbers to guide you. food&me shows what sold, when, and to whom — so tomorrow's baking plan is based on real numbers, not a guess.

What sells, and when

See what sold out by 9am, and what sat in the case until close.

Your best customers

See who spends the most, and how often they come back.

Less guesswork on waste

Track waste and leftover stock instead of just estimating it.

Features & benefits

Everything your counter needs

These aren't just standard POS features. Each one solves a real problem bakeries face every day, from opening at dawn to closing the books.

Simple pricing, one screen

Sell bread by the kilo, pastries by the piece, and cakes by custom quote — all in one place.

Hold orders and tabs

Save an order for later without slowing down the customer next in line.

See your stock in real time

Know when you're running low on flour, butter, or packaging, before it's a problem.

Easy staff scheduling

Build the schedule once. New staff can clock in from their own phone, no extra app needed.

Loyalty rewards, automatic

Reward repeat customers on their own, with no punch cards for them to lose.

A free ordering website

Let customers order custom cakes and set up standing orders online, not over the phone.

Sales and waste reports

See what sold, what didn't, and what got thrown out, so tomorrow's plan is easier to make.

Works even without internet

Keep taking payments if the internet goes down. Everything syncs once you're back online.

Grows with your bakery

A brand-new counter and a five-location bakery need different tools. food&me lets you add what you need, when you need it, with no big upgrade required.

Why a POS system

Why bakeries switch to a POS system

A cash register just takes payments. A POS system built for food businesses changes how your whole bakery runs, from the counter to the back office.

A faster line, fewer mistakes

Orders get rung up correctly the first time, even during the morning rush.

Every sale, in one place

Counter sales, online orders, and wholesale invoices all show up in the same system.

Real numbers, not guesses

See which items are actually worth the shelf space, not just your total sales for the day.

Easier bookkeeping

Sales, tips, and refunds export cleanly, so you spend less time reconciling numbers by hand.

Clear staff accountability

Every sale is tied to the staff member who made it, so mistakes and missing cash are easy to trace.

Stronger customer relationships

Every sale helps you build a list of who to email, reward, and win back over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

A busy bakery needs a POS built for speed, high-volume counter sales, and precise product tracking — very different from a standard retail or restaurant setup. The must-haves include fast, scale-friendly checkout for weighed and boxed items, custom cake and special-order management, and real-time inventory tracking so you always know what's left on the shelf before the next batch comes out of the oven. Read more →
Start with speed and ease of use — your staff need to ring up items quickly during the morning rush without slowing the line down. Look for a touchscreen with clear product images for fast visual selection, simple modifiers for box sizes and add-ons, and easy handling of pre-orders and custom items like celebration cakes. Read more →
For a small bakery in New Zealand, first-year costs typically fall between $2,000 and $6,500 NZD (excluding GST). Where you land in that range depends largely on your hardware setup — whether you go with a tablet-based system or a traditional all-in-one terminal, plus whether you need integrated scales for weighed goods. Read more →
Cloud-based POS systems replace stationary legacy hardware with fast, flexible, data-driven software built for high-volume counter service. Staff can take pre-orders, manage custom cake requests, and track ingredient and product stock from handheld devices, cutting wait times at the counter and reducing wasted or unsold stock at the end of the day.
