Getting started
Start with your bakery’s real working day.
We map your products, people and handovers before agreeing a rollout. The aim is a process your team can actually use during a busy shift.
01 · Fit
Walk through a normal day together.
Show us how shops order, where production is recorded, how deliveries are received and how you handle invoices and stock counts. We identify which workflow to start with and which integrations need checking.
02 · Setup · €490
Prepare the foundation.
Onboarding covers initial setup and training. We agree the product, recipe, ingredient and location data needed, its available format and the scope of any import before work starts. Data cleanup and custom integration work should be scoped in the quote.
03 · Equipment
What to buy, and what it costs.
BakeryMS runs in a browser, so the office uses the computer you already have. Production and shops need a tablet; production also needs a label printer, because printing the label is how a batch gets recorded. You buy the hardware yourself — no rental, no hardware contract. Tell us what you already own and we will check it before you buy anything.
- Office computer€0Any laptop or PC with Chrome, Safari or Edge. Nothing to install.
- Tablet — one per production station and per shopabout €230 eachAndroid, around 10 inches, Bluetooth. Staff order, record batches and waste, and print labels from it. Our favourite at Bazaar: Blackview Tab 8 Pro, €230.
- Label printer (ZPL) — for productionfrom about €350Any ZPL-compatible printer. Bazaar's whole production prints on one Zebra. Direct-thermal labels, no ink.
- BakeryMS label printerabout €100 · coming soonA compact ZPL printer we have tested in our own production. We plan to offer it through this site — ask us about availability.
- Label rollsconsumableSize agreed during setup to fit your labels.
- Phones for stock counts€0The monthly count opens from a link on your staff's own phones.
- Time clock (optional)tablet + NFC tagsA tablet at the staff entrance and one tag per person. Hours feed into labour cost.
- Scale for guided weighing (pilot)ask usBluetooth or USB scale at a production station. Pilot feature — we confirm the model with you.
Example — one production kitchen and one shop: 2 tablets (€460) + 1 Zebra label printer (from about €350) ≈ €810 one-off, plus label rolls. With the BakeryMS printer, once available: ≈ €560.
04 · Bazaar
What Bazaar runs on.
Bazaar Bakery in Riga — six shops and one central production — runs BakeryMS every working day. (Disclosure: BakeryMS was built there, and its founder co-owns Bazaar.)
- Production5 tablets · 1 ZebraTablets at five production stations; one Zebra ZPL printer prints every label for the whole production.
- ShopstabletsShops order from production, confirm deliveries and record waste on a tablet.
- Tabletsmixed brandsBought over time. The one we would buy again: Blackview Tab 8 Pro (€230).
- OfficebrowserRecipes, costs, invoices and reports on ordinary laptops.
- Stock countsphonesMonthly counts on staff phones. At one shop the count went from 2.3 h to 1.3 h (Bazaar's estimate).
- Time clockNFCStaff clock in with NFC tags; hours feed into labour cost.
05 · First workflow
Train the people doing the work.
Agree who records batches, receives deliveries, enters waste and approves invoices. Start with an agreed workflow and check the resulting records together before expanding. Rollout dates depend on your data, equipment and team availability.
06 · Scope
Agree the details before committing.
Your quote confirms rollout scope, the hardware list, integrations, VAT treatment, support and contract terms. The subscription is €149/month for the first 12 months, then €249/month; onboarding is €490 — €2,278 in the first year before hardware. Scale-guided weighing is a pilot; automated production planning is still in development. Neither should be assumed to be a standard rollout feature.
