Making custom or event cakes?
Wedding tiers, birthday and celebration cakes, and made-to-order designs are a catering job — priced per order, quoted, and booked around a date. That's our sister app, CaterKit, built for exactly that. Batchnook is for the other kind of bakery — the same trays baked week after week — so if standing orders and wholesale are your business, you're in the right place.
Built for the way a production bakery actually runs
Receipts in, real costs out, and the margin on every SKU always current.
A recipe is a cost you can defend
Enter flour, butter, sugar, and the rest once with pack sizes; every loaf and every dozen prices itself. Costs come off your receipts and update by the moving-average method — so a product's cost is what you actually paid this month, not last year's guess.
Wholesale margins are thin — so watch them
Set a target margin on each product. When a butter receipt lands and your cost jumps, Batchnook shows you exactly which products slipped under target that day — before you quote the next wholesale run at last season's price.
Standing orders, tracked
Log “baked 6 dozen” and stock plus unit cost update at once. Record a wholesale order in a couple of taps and period COGS tracks itself. Batches and orders are never metered, on any plan — sell as much as you can bake.
What a dozen really earns you
Wholesale price is set by the account — so your margin lives or dies on cost. Try it on a typical dozen, then run it on your own numbers.

Want this to update itself?
Batchnook keeps this margin current from a receipt photo — no re-entering numbers. Leave your email and you're on the list.
This is the same margin Batchnook shows on every product — what's left after materials, as a share of price. Start free to run it on your own receipts, no card.
Start with a bakery pack, not a blank screen
New accounts can load a bakery starter pack — flour, butter, sugar, eggs and more, plus two costed recipes (a sourdough loaf and a batch of chocolate-chip cookies) — so you see the margin math working on day one, then swap in your own recipes. It fits the free plan as-is.
Start with the bakery packThe long version of this arithmetic
A dozen costed from ingredients is the easy half. Pricing baked goods covers the three things that move the number afterwards: the weight dough loses in the oven, an oven that bills by the load rather than the loaf, and sell-through, which turns anything unsold inside its shelf life into a total loss. Moving your costs across from a spreadsheet or another tool is its own job, and switching costing tools without losing your numbers is the running order for it.
When you are ready to sell it
A storefront for your bakery, at your own address
Costing tells you what a tray should earn. A Batchnook shop is where it earns it: your own address online, a QR code for the table, and every sale landing in the same books you priced it from.
