Inventory Management Built for Bakeries
Manage recipes with automatic scaling, track batches from mixing to packaging, maintain allergen traceability, and plan production across wholesale orders—all in one platform designed for commercial bakeries.
Challenges Commercial Bakeries Face Daily
Managing recipes, production schedules, ingredient freshness, and customer orders with spreadsheets creates problems that affect quality, waste, and profitability.
Recipe Scaling Complexity
Scaling recipes for different batch sizes—from 20 loaves to 200—requires manual calculations that are error-prone and time-consuming. Baker percentages add another layer of complexity.
Short Shelf Life Pressure
Baked goods expire quickly. Without proper production planning and inventory visibility, you produce too much (waste) or too little (lost sales and disappointed customers).
Allergen Traceability Requirements
Tracking wheat, nuts, dairy, eggs, and other allergens through production is critical for customer safety and regulatory compliance. Paper-based tracking creates dangerous gaps.
Ingredient Inventory Guesswork
Running out of flour mid-production stops everything. But tracking ingredient usage across dozens of recipes and production runs manually is nearly impossible.
Wholesale Order Chaos
Coordinating wholesale orders, retail store production, and special orders while managing limited oven capacity requires visibility you do not have with spreadsheets.
No True Cost Visibility
Without accurate tracking of ingredient usage, labor, and waste per product, you are pricing based on guesses instead of real data.

See why growing bakeries choose Fiddle for their inventory, production, and compliance needs.
We went from 3 retail locations to 15 wholesale accounts in two years. Fiddle made it possible to scale production without scaling our back-office headaches. Recipe scaling alone saves us hours every week.
When a flour supplier had a recall, we identified affected products within an hour. We pulled just 12 cases instead of doing a blanket recall. That traceability literally saved our business thousands of dollars.
Our waste dropped 30% in the first six months. Better production planning means we bake closer to demand. We finally know our true costs and adjusted pricing on items we were losing money on.
