How much does Piggles cost for a bakery?

$99 a month, flat. All sixteen apps are included: selling, stock, invoices, your website, your numbers and the rest. That covers one business, one location, one main website and three people with their own sign-in. Products, orders and invoices are unlimited. Try it free for 14 days, no card needed.

I already take cards at the counter. Do I have to change providers?

No. Piggles connects to the payment provider you already use, including Stripe, PayPal and Square. The money settles into your own account on the terms you already have, and Piggles never sits in the middle of it.

Can it handle preorders and custom cakes?

Yes. Preorders are held as real commitments, so they are not lost when the counter gets busy. Products can have options, and the ones a customer specifies rather than picks (size, flavor, the message on top) can be set up so they choose it themselves when they order.

Can I sell to cafés and restaurants on account?

Yes, without a second system. Each trade customer can have their own agreed prices, a credit limit and payment terms. Orders go out before the money comes in, within the limit you set, and Invoices chases the late ones politely for you.

Will it help with things that go out of date?

For anything you track with a date, like jars, packaged goods or ingredients, Stock shows what is about to expire while there is still time to discount it, rather than after it has to go in the bin.

What happens when the bakery gets busier?

Nothing switches off. If you need more room (more people on the team, more storage, more customer records, more email going out) you add it in one tap with the price on the button, and remove it the same way. Selling more is never a reason to change plans, because there is only one.

Know what sold out by ten, and bake more of it tomorrow.

Piggles puts the counter, the preorders, the cafés that buy on account and the numbers at the end of the week in one place. It is $99 a month with every app included, so the list you write at five in the morning is the only list you write.

Piggles for bakeries

SellEvery way a loaf leaves the building, in one order list.
StockRun out of the right things less, and throw away less.
MoneySee what the week left you, not just what it took.

If this sounds like your week

The list lives in three places

The bake list is on the whiteboard, the preorders are in a notebook by the phone, and the café that takes twenty baguettes a day is a text thread. Every morning somebody copies one into the other, and one morning they miss a line.

You find out what sold out by being asked for it

The Saturday sourdough was gone by ten and nobody wrote that down, so next Saturday you bake the same number again. The spreadsheet you started to keep track lasted two weeks.

Your best seller might be your worst earner

The croissants fly out, but butter went up in the spring and the price did not. Without the cost of what goes into each thing, busy and profitable look exactly the same.

Wholesale is a second business run from a shoebox

The cafés pay monthly, at their own price, and the invoices get written by hand on a Sunday night. Somebody is always a month behind, and nobody is quite sure who.

The counter, the preorders, the cafés and the numbers are one day of work, so they belong in one place.

What most bakeries are juggling, and what takes its place

~~a whiteboard bake list and a notebook of preorders by the phone~~Sell
Counter sales, website orders, café orders and preorders land in one list. A preorder is held as a real commitment, so the Saturday birthday cake cannot slide off the bottom of a page.
~~a separate till app for the counter~~Sell
The counter rings up into the same order list as everything else, and the money goes through the payment provider you already use, straight into your own account.
~~a spreadsheet of which café owes what~~Invoices
Each café on agreed terms gets a due date counted from the day it receives the bill, part payments are recorded as they arrive, and the overdue list says who is late and by how long without you working it out.
~~a clipboard on the storeroom door for flour, butter and boxes~~Stock
Reorder points come from how fast you really use each thing and how long the supplier really takes, so you order rye before the last sack, not after it.
~~an evening with a calculator working out whether the croissants pay~~Money
Sales, refunds and the cost of what went into each order are already in one place, so what each order made is a screen you open, not a sum you do.

A normal week for bakeries, on Piggles

Monday, 5am
Before the ovens are hot, Home counts what is waiting on you in plain sentences: website orders to get out, a café invoice that has gone late, and butter running low. Tap a line and the list behind it opens.
Home
Monday, 9am
Flour, butter and cake boxes each have a reorder point worked out from how fast you really use them. Stock lists what is about to run out, and a recipe tells you how many loaves the flour on the shelf will actually make.
Stock
Tuesday, 2pm
The mill bills you more per sack than the price you agreed. Partners flags the difference for you to look at, instead of it quietly becoming the new cost of every loaf.
Partners
Wednesday, 8pm
Somebody orders a birthday cake for Saturday on your site, choosing the size, the sponge and the message. It lands in the same list as the counter sales and the café orders, held as a preorder so it gets baked, not forgotten.
Sell
Thursday, 4pm
The three cafés you supply get their own agreed prices without anybody remembering them, and their invoices go out on their terms. Invoices shows who is late and by how long, and sends a polite reminder you did not have to write.
Invoices
Friday, 7pm
You write one post about tomorrow's cardamom buns, tick Instagram and Facebook, and schedule it for Saturday at 7am. It goes out while your hands are in the dough.
Get Found
Sunday, 6pm
Money shows the week: what came in, less refunds, what the ingredients cost and the running costs. Every order is listed with what it made after its costs, worst first, so you find out which orders are carrying the rest.

The apps bakeries use most, up close

Sell

Every way a loaf leaves the building, in one order list.

A bakery sells four ways before lunch: across the counter, on the website, to a café on account and as a preorder for Saturday. Sell treats every one of them as an order from the same catalog, so the bake list for tomorrow is one list, not four.

Everything Sell does

A single loaf, a box of six and a whole tray can each be an option on one product, and anything sold by weight is priced by weight instead of rounded to the nearest bag.
Gift cards are kept as a real balance, so a card bought in December is still worth the right amount when somebody brings it back in March.
When a new café asks what twenty baguettes a day would cost, you send a quote, and once they accept it becomes their order without anybody retyping a line.
The household that takes a sourdough every Friday can be set up as a repeat order, paused for their vacation, skipped for a week or changed to two loaves.
Discounts follow rules you can predict: a quantity break for a baker’s dozen, or a code for the first week of a new menu, with dates and limits set in advance.
Sales by product and by day answer the question the whiteboard never kept, which is which days the rye flies and which days it drags.

Stock

Run out of the right things less, and throw away less.

Flour, butter, eggs, boxes and jars all move at different speeds. Stock keeps an honest count of each one, tells you what is about to run out at the rate you really use it, and keeps what is promised apart from what is free to sell.

Everything Stock does

What is on the shelf, what is already promised to a preorder and what is free to sell are kept apart, so the last box of macarons is not sold at the counter to somebody who did not order it.
Flour bought in fifty-pound sacks and used by the pound, or butter bought by the case and used by the block, converts on its own, because buying and using do not have to share a unit.
The storeroom can be broken down into shelves with printed labels, so "we have two sacks of rye" also tells the new starter where to find them.
Jams, granola and anything else you pack in batches carry their batch and expiry date, including which batch went to which café.
A few lines are counted each week on a schedule, and the difference is shown before it is saved, so the stocktake stops eating a whole Sunday.
The specialty sugar that has sat there since spring shows up as not moving, along with what it is costing you to keep it.

Money

See what the week left you, not just what it took.

The till total is the cheerful number. Money reads the sales, the refunds, the ingredients and the standing costs that are already in Piggles, and states what the bakery actually kept, in words rather than accountant columns.

Everything Money does

Rent, the oven lease, insurance and the delivery van are entered once as repeating costs, so they are in every month’s picture without being typed twelve times.
Bills from the mill and the dairy show when they fall due, so they get paid on time instead of discovered in a pile of envelopes.
Money the cafés owe is listed by how old it is, so chasing starts with the account that has been sitting longest rather than the one you happened to remember.
Takings are split by where the sale happened, with what was sold, refunded and still unpaid side by side, so you can see whether the cafés, the counter or the website carried the week.
This month’s takings and what you kept sit beside last month’s, so a slow January reads as slow against December, not as a feeling.
Hand your bookkeeper a spreadsheet of your spending with every column labeled and their account codes on each line, instead of a shoebox of receipts.

Moving over

Bring over what is already written down

Open Move in and pick the system you are leaving, or drop in your own spreadsheet of products, customers or the cafés you supply. Piggles guesses what each column means, you correct anything it got wrong, and you see exactly what will be created before anything is saved.

Fix the rows it could not read

Anything that could not come across is listed with its row number from your own file. Download that list, fix it next to your data, and drop the file in again. Every past move is kept, so you can always see what came over and when.

Type in what lives on paper

Open café invoices and the preorders in the notebook do not come across from a file today, so you add those by hand. For most bakeries that is a short list, and after it is in, it lives in one place.

Your first hour

Tell Piggles you run a bakery. You start with practice products, customers and orders shaped like a bakery, so you can click around something that looks real, then clear them all out with one button.
Add the things you bake, with prices, sizes and anything you sell by weight. If they are already in a spreadsheet, bring it in and see a preview before anything is written.
Connect the payment provider you already use, so card money keeps landing in your own account on the terms you have today.
Pick a ready-made site, swap in your photos and opening hours, and publish. It runs on a free Piggles address until you point your own domain at it.
Add the cafés you supply as trade customers with their agreed prices, so the right price is applied every time without anybody having to remember it.

One price for the counter, the cafés and the numbers.

$99 a month

$99 a month covers selling, stock, invoices, your numbers and every other app, sixteen in all. Taking preorders or selling to cafés never costs extra. What can change the bill is room, not features.

Try it free for 14 days Work out what you pay now

One business, one location, one main website and three people with their own sign-in are included, so you, a counter assistant and a second baker are covered.
Products, orders and invoices are unlimited, so a busy December costs the same as a quiet February.
Order emails do not count toward the 5,000 emails a month included for your own announcements, like the note about Saturday’s new bun.
10,000 customer records and 10 GB for photos and files are included. More room, more people or a second shop is added in one tap with the price on the button, and removed the same way.
Card fees are between you and the payment provider you already use. Piggles never sits in the middle of the money.
Fourteen days free with no card needed. If you do not carry on, nothing is charged.
