BakeryOS

Micro bakeries operate in a space that is often too complex for spreadsheets, but too small and too specific for enterprise software. Production planning, ingredient management, recipe scaling, cost tracking, and supplier relations are usually handled by bakers with some combination of notebooks, Excel files, WhatsApp messages, and memory. It works, yet loads the everyday with heavy admin in unstructured operational systems.

The bakeries most affected are the ones that care about their ingredients such as small operations working with local farmers and heirloom grain varieties. When your flour changes with every harvest (or even every delivery) the tools designed for industrial consistency actively fight against the way you want to work.

I funded and ran Panicuocoli. Our bread was good but the operations were taking a lot of my time away from baking. I mixed dough at four in the morning and reconciled flour invoices, orders, and biological certification logs at midnight. I tracked costs in spreadsheets that grew inaccurate, and I managed production planning in a set of interconnected spreadsheets with multiple variables to change every day, as I never found a tool that understood how a sourdough bakery actually works.

BakeryOS is the tool I wish I'd had, it provides a solid bakery-designed infrastructure so that time can be spent on baking rather than on the admin.

• Production planningSchedule bakes around fermentation timelines
• Batch planningMix sheets for the daily batches, mother/child recipe batches, and streamlined production flow
• Ingredient managementTrack flour batches, manage supplier relationships
• Recipe scalingAdjust formulas on the fly accounting for variability
• Cost trackingReal-time cost per loaf, per batch, accounting for the premium ingredients micro bakeries use

The platform works with flexibility rather than demanding consistency. It's built for bakeries that treat flour as a material with its own agency, not as a standardised commodity.
