More than POS
Why bakeries and food shops need more than POS
A basic POS can record what was sold, but bakeries and food shops need to manage what was produced, what ingredients were used, what stock may expire and what was wasted.
Fresh food businesses often deal with short shelf life, daily preparation, changing supplier costs and leftover stock. If these areas are managed through paper notes or spreadsheets, owners may only discover cost problems after profit has already been lost.
Fresh stock can expire quickly.
Daily production can be hard to track.
Ingredient costs change.
Prepared items may be wasted at the end of the day.
Recipes and portion costs need visibility.
Supplier purchasing affects margin.
Sales reports alone do not explain waste or profit.
Tab2Kit is designed to help connect sales, stock, recipes, suppliers and reports so owners can manage the business behind the counter.
Sales and orders
Manage sales and orders from one workflow.
Bakeries and food shops need a fast and practical way to handle counter sales, takeaway orders, QR orders and online orders.

Stock
Control ingredients and prepared stock.
Bakeries and food shops often manage both raw ingredients and prepared items. Ingredients may be used in recipes, while prepared items may have short shelf life and daily availability limits.
Tab2Kit supports ingredient-level inventory and stock visibility.

Finished food items
By tracking ingredients and prepared stock more clearly, owners can better understand what was used, what remains and what may be at risk.
Recipes and food cost
Manage recipes, BOM and food cost.
Bakery and prepared food margins depend heavily on ingredient quantities and recipe cost. A small increase in butter, flour, dairy, meat, fillings or packaging can affect many products.
Tab2Kit supports BOM and recipe costing so products can connect to ingredients, quantities and food-cost calculations.

Recipe cost changes over time
Instead of guessing whether a product is profitable, owners can use recipe and ingredient data to support better decisions.
Expiry and wastage
Track expiry, wastage and batch/lot information.
Fresh food businesses lose margin when ingredients or prepared items expire, spoil or remain unsold. This is especially important for bakeries and food shops where many items are produced or displayed daily.
Tab2Kit supports expiry date tracking, wastage records, batch/lot information and perishable stock alerts.
Expiry-risk ingredients
Prepared items close to expiry

Waste impact on margin
Better expiry and wastage visibility helps owners make stronger purchasing, production and pricing decisions.
Suppliers
Manage bakery and food shop suppliers.
Bakeries and food shops often buy from many suppliers, including flour suppliers, dairy suppliers, produce suppliers, meat or filling suppliers, packaging suppliers and general food-service suppliers.
Tab2Kit helps manage supplier and purchasing workflows.
Supplier records

Supplier debt tracking

When supplier prices change, owners can better understand which ingredients and products are affected.
Staff
Manage staff activity and access.
Bakery and food shop staff may work across production, counter service, preparation, packing, ordering and management. Each role may need different access to the system.
Tab2Kit supports staff management features including time attendance, work summaries, attendance calculation and role-based permissions.

Reports
Review daily performance with better information.
For bakeries and food shops, daily reporting should show more than sales. Owners need to understand what sold, what was produced, what was wasted, what stock is at risk and which items may need pricing review.
Tab2Kit supports daily, monthly and yearly reports, menu-item analysis and cost-control visibility.
