True cost

Your time is an ingredient too

Most home bakers price from ingredients alone, then wonder where the money went. Add your hours, an hourly rate, overhead like electricity, and a buffer for the batch that doesn't turn out. The app prices every item on what it really costs you.

  • Selling price and profit, per item and per batch
  • A food cost meter against the 35% most bakeries aim for
  • Price per piece, per box, or per whole cake
True cost inputs in the app: 1.25 hours of labor at $20 an hour, $2 overhead and a 5% waste buffer Result: selling price $77.51 per unit, profit $17.89, food cost 37% marked borderline

Ingredient prices move all year. Update a price once and every recipe that uses it gets checked. You see which ingredients moved, by how much, and what your margin is now.

  • Price history and trend arrows for every ingredient
  • Products flagged when the margin slips 5 points or more, or prices are 90+ days old
  • Re-price a product in one tap
Price check: margin at save 23.08%, margin now 15.93%; cream cheese up 33%, blueberries up 22%, butter up 10% Ingredient list: cream cheese $3.99 for 8 oz, up 14.3%; fresh blueberries $5.49 for 18 oz, up 28%

Pre-orders and orders

From "taking orders" to "ready for pickup"

  • Reusable pre-order posts with your bakery name and the date
  • Orders grouped into overdue, this week and later
  • A reminder the evening before each order is due
