Fewer unsold goods in the evening and fewer empty shelves at midday. Tomorrow’s baking list is based on your own sales figures instead of gut feeling.

Is this for you?

  • You record sales per item and day through the till.
  • Unsold goods or selling out vary greatly with weather, school holidays and day of the week.
  • Quantities are currently planned by one person from experience.
