F&B segment
POS for Bakeries — Production Batches, Pre-Order & Shelf Life
Last updated:
What we hear from operators
- End-of-day unsold croissants are 8% of revenue and there's no plan to convert them to revenue.
- Pre-orders for birthday cakes live in a Facebook inbox, get missed and lose customers.
- Same recipe baked across 4 outlets — but one outlet uses 110g butter, another 90g, with 18% cost difference.
- Shelf-life expiry on packaged products is tracked on stickers, not in the system.
Why LOOP fits this segment
- Daily production batch plan calculated from AI demand forecast plus pre-orders.
- Pre-order intake from Facebook Inbox and Zalo OA flows straight into the kitchen schedule.
- Central recipe authority — one butter ratio across the chain, with version history.
- Shelf-life timer per SKU triggers automatic markdown (e.g. 30% off at T-2 hours) and inventory writedown.

Frequently asked
- Can I take birthday-cake orders from Facebook directly?
- Yes. Facebook Inbox integration parses orders into structured records: cake type, size, message, pickup date and customer contact.
- How does the production plan work?
- Every night the AI forecasts next-day demand by SKU, adds confirmed pre-orders, subtracts current stock, and prints a baker's sheet by 04:00.
- Can shelf-life markdowns happen automatically?
- Yes. Define rules per SKU (e.g. 30% off at T-2 hours, 50% at T-1). The till applies them automatically and tracks recovered revenue.
- What if my outlets have different oven capacity?
- Set per-outlet production capacity. The plan respects it and routes overflow to a sister outlet or central kitchen if configured.
- Does LOOP handle GrabFood and ShopeeFood for bakeries?
- Yes — same direct API as restaurants. Pre-order cakes can be excluded from delivery menus automatically.
- Can I see ingredient cost movement weekly?
- Yes. Ingredient cost trend per SKU is on the inventory dashboard, with alerts when a key ingredient (butter, flour) moves > 5% week-on-week.
