Magpie takes your bakery's pre-orders and custom cake orders. It records each bake from your recipes and keeps the fridge readings.

Yes. Once you turn on Sell when out of stock, a product sells before it is baked. Customers can see an Expected to ship date, if you set one. A required Date field on the product asks which day they will collect. Every order with items not yet in stock is listed under Pre-orders.

Local delivery goes to the postal codes you list, on the days you choose. You set how many days' notice you need and a cutoff time. Orders after the cutoff count from the next day. Buyers choose one of the next 14 delivery days at checkout. Delivery can be free over an order amount.

Yes. You can set a date and time for a product to go live. It will go live then, with the same checks as publishing it by hand. A collection, such as this week's menu, can be published at a set time too.

Yes. You publish a Form that asks for the date, servings and flavours from a list. A File question takes an inspiration photo, and another can ask for a message. Once you agree the price, you record the order. You then send the customer a payment link for the total.

Yes. You write the quote in Proposals, with packages or options for the tiers and flavours. The couple signs on their own page, and the deposit invoice is issued on acceptance. They pay it by card, into your Stripe account. The final payment is invoiced when you bill it.

Yes. An option such as Flavour gives each choice its own price and stock. A personalisation field asks for the message to pipe on the cake. It can be free or add to the price. The order, its emails and the packing slip will show what they wrote.

Yes. Specifications are name and value pairs shown on the product page. You can add one such as Allergens: wheat, eggs, milk. Each recipe also records its allergens, how long it keeps and how it is stored.

The Bakery starter reads the walk-in fridge and the freezer at opening. It reads the fridge again at closing. Each reading is checked against target and critical limits you set. One outside them will open an incident with the steps to fix it. A critical one will be sent to you, the shift leads and the managers.

Yes. You see each recipe's cost, worked out from its ingredients' average cost or usual supplier's price. Managers who can see costs in Inventory see it too. Employees and shift leads do not see costs on the prep, recipe or waste pages.

Yes. You log the item, how much and the reason, such as Made too much or Expired. It will come out of stock. The waste page totals the bakery's waste by reason and item, over a range of days. You can download it as a CSV file.

Yes. A new order records a sale paid in cash or on your own card terminal. Its items will come out of stock.

Yes. Customers check out on Stripe's checkout page without signing up first. They get a private link to their order by email. A Form is answered without signing up first too. A payment link opens a Stripe payment page.

Yes. Checkout can show an unticked box for news. Buyers who tick it will become subscribers when the order is paid. You write each email in Markdown, and send it now or at a time you schedule.

Yes. Store, Daily Operations, Inventory and Forms all work in your own account, without a team. A team is for when someone else bakes or serves with you. Then they can have their own checklists or shifts.

Recording a batch adds what was made, with a batch code and a use-by time. The use-by time comes from how long the recipe keeps. The Bakery starter has a step to label prepared items with the date and use-by date.
