Bakery production management software plans what to bake each day, turns recipes into ingredient requirements, records each bake as a batch and tracks shelf life until the product is sold or written off. Parchika links all of this to your bakery POS, so what you bake matches what you sell.

Industry Insights
The Challenge vs. The Solution
Parchika builds the bake plan from recent sales and booked cake orders. Each product has a recipe, with shared sub-recipes for doughs, batters and creams, so the plan becomes an ingredient list. Completing a bake records the batch, deducts ingredients and sets the expiry date from the product's shelf life.
Common Problems
- Bake quantities set by guesswork, leaving unsold bread at closing time.
- Flour, butter and sugar stock never matches the books.
- Short shelf-life items sold past their best or thrown away untracked.
- Custom cake orders and daily counter production planned separately.
Parchika Benefits
- Bake closer to what you actually sell.
- Keep ingredient stock accurate without manual entries.
- Sell older batches first and cut end-of-day waste.
- Price products on real ingredient costs.
