Top Nationwide Wedding Bakery Discovers POS with Custom Cake Building

In 2016, Amaru needed a more proficient Point of Sale system that could handle their custom cake building operations. This proved to be a difficult task since many POS companies don’t provide this option. However, when they discovered Cafe Cartel they found exactly what they needed. CCS comes complete with a custom cake building feature that can price out cake’s tiers from 6" to 18" round and square, and in 2" increments. Next fillings, frostings and decorations can be added to the order. The following video demonstrates this in action:

Scheduling Orders, House Accounts & Catering For Bakeries

CCS also includes catering, house accounts and scheduling as well. Take Production as an example: for bakers using CCS, they start their day with an interactive report that lists the items needing to be made that day and what orders the items belong to. In the report summary, employees can see the items that need to be prepped, the orders that need to be readied and the current inventory count. Items without enough stock will appear in red. This summary dictates to the staff what needs to be completed and by what time in a clear and efficient way. Once the order is readied, a time stamp will be applied and a label can be printed for the prepared product as well. Upon completion of the order, the summary will be updated and the order will be ready for pickup/payment at any time.

Getting The Best POS Features For Your Bakery

Additionally, CCS includes features like recipe based inventory, labor scheduling, employee time clock, reconciling and reporting. Cafe Cartel has been helping bakeries succeed since 2004. To review your desired features with an industry consultant, call 866-973-8099 or request a quote today.
