Bakery

A bakery has a daily fresh inventory (bake-it-or-lose-it), a busy morning rush, and a side business in pre-orders for cakes and bundles. The Rewardly setup leans on reset-daily inventory, stamp cards for repeat coffee customers, and online pre-ordering for specialty bakes.

Example business: Crumb & Co — a single-shop neighbourhood bakery with 40+ daily SKUs and a small custom-cake operation.

Setup recipe

1. Outlet & registers

• Default Order Mode = Take Out.
• Outlet Registers — 1–2 POS at the counter.
• Tables — usually off; a small bakery's seats are casual.
• QR ordering on for cake pre-orders.

→ See Outlet Settings.

2. Daily-reset inventory

Bread you bake fresh each morning belongs on a daily-resetting count. On each product turn on:

• Track quantity — on.
• Reset quantity by shift — on.
• Reset remaining quantity — the typical daily bake (e.g. 40 for a sourdough boule).

When the shift opens the count resets; when it hits zero the product shows as sold out and disappears from the kiosk/online — no disappointed walk-ins.

→ See Inventory.

3. Membership tier (1 level)

A single Member tier is enough. Most bakery loyalty value comes from stamp cards and the daily ritual.

→ See Membership & Tiers.

4. Loyalty ratio

• 2 points per $1 — small basket size.
• Channel scope — POS, Kiosk, Online — all of them.
• Point expiry — 6 months.

→ See Loyalty Points.

5. Stamp card — the morning-coffee loop

A coffee-focused stamp card drives daily return:

• Stamp card — "Buy 9 coffees, get the 10th free."
• Rule type — Product (any coffee).
• Reward — Free Coffee voucher.
• Repeat — yes.

→ See Stamp Cards.

6. Pre-order cakes via online ordering

Custom cakes and bundles are a perfect fit for Online Ordering with a lead-time setting:

• Create products Birthday Cake — Small / Medium / Large with modifiers for flavour, message, and pickup date/time.
• Set Inactive days or use Validity in Days on a voucher to ensure pre-orders need ≥ 24-hour lead time.

→ See Online Ordering.

7. Vouchers

Program	Type	Event
Welcome — Free Croissant	Free item	First-time shopper
Birthday — Free Slice of Cake	Free item	Birthday
Loaf Bundle — Buy 3 Loaves $20	Fixed-price item	Other

8. Pricing rules — end-of-day discount

A pricing tier for 2 hours before close to clear fresh stock:

• Pricing Rule — Close-Out, Mon–Sun, 17:00–19:00.
• Pricing Tier — Close-Out, attached to fresh bread products at 30% off.
• Customers learn the window; you reduce next-day waste.

→ See Pricing Rules & Tiers.

9. Menu structure

• Categories — Bread · Pastries · Cakes · Coffee · Specials · Custom Orders.
• Modifiers — coffee customization; cake flavour and inscription.
• Variants — bread size (Half / Whole loaf).

→ See Menus.

10. StockOS

• Inventory with daily reset (see step 2) — for finished products.
• Ingredients & Recipes — for raw flour, butter, eggs etc. Used to pull a production report — see Stock Reports.
• Suppliers — flour mill, dairy supplier, coffee roaster. Track weekly purchase orders.

→ See Ingredients & Recipes, Suppliers & Purchasing.

11. Payment

• Card + PayNow + Cash — typical mix.
• Cash Rounding — $0.05, cash-only.
• Store Credit — useful for the regular morning-coffee crowd; sell a $50 → $55 top-up offer.

→ See Store Credit, Cash Rounding.

KPIs to watch

• Same-day sell-through — units sold ÷ units baked.
• Stamp-card cycle time — how many days between stamp 1 and stamp 10 (your morning regulars).
• Pre-order share — cake/pre-order revenue ÷ total.
• Close-out lift — % of fresh stock sold during the close-out window.
