Your numbers are nobody’s business
Your secret recipes, your best sellers, your margins, your supplier prices and your payroll are among the most sensitive data in your business. I wanted them to stay under your control, right down to where they’re stored.
In practice
- Your management data is stored on your computer in an encrypted database; you can export it.
- Day-to-day management works offline; a periodic license check is still required.
- At your request, an AI extraction sends the document and the information needed to analyze it to an external provider; the privacy policy details this processing.
What I wanted to avoid Waiting on the network for every action, while handing margins, payroll and supplier prices over to a remote server.
Know, don’t guess
In training sessions, I often get asked: “Is this product actually making me any money?” Answering that means linking what was bought, made and sold. I wanted that calculation to be automatic and clearly displayed.
In practice
- The raw material cost of your recipes is calculated from the ingredient prices recorded in the software.
- When a supplier price changes, costs and margins update. You decide whether the selling price needs to change.
- Production time and labor also go into the cost price — often overlooked when you only look at the ingredients.
Simplicity takes work
A tool can be complete and still be a pain to use. Training artisans taught me to keep things simple without stripping out what the trade needs.
In practice
- A complete user guide is built into the software. Guided tutorials walk you through step by step, for small tasks and big ones alike.
- Support is built in: you write to Alexandra without leaving LogiBake, and she answers you personally.
AI will never make your croissant
AI is a revolutionary tool; it would be a shame to go without it. Like an automatic depositor, it can take over repetitive tasks without replacing the pastry chef. It processes information; you keep the recipe and the decision.
In practice
- A photo of a recipe in an old notebook can become an editable recipe card, once you’ve checked it.
- AI extracts the data from an invoice; you check it before it’s saved.
- Pastel can help you read your numbers. The decision stays yours.
A price, not a negotiation
Management software for a bakery or pastry shop shouldn’t weigh on the very profitability it’s meant to improve.
In practice
- First shop: from €39.90/month excluding tax, all modules included.
- No mandatory add-ons, no quote to request just to find out the price.
- You cancel from within the software; access ends when the paid period runs out.
What I wanted to avoid A starting price that says nothing about the real cost once the modules you need are added.
No hot air
In a training session, a made-up answer helps no one. I’d rather show what LogiBake does today, be clear about what’s still under consideration, and let you check for yourself.
In practice
- You can download and open LogiBake without a sales call.
- The ideas box gives you a direct say: you follow the features in progress, vote on what comes next and suggest the ones you’re missing.
