Let's be honest, running a bakery means juggling flour sacks, customer lines, and those unpredictable wholesale calls all while keeping the ovens humming.

At AIQ Labs, we build custom dashboards from the ground up, weaving in your exact workflows - from tracking flour usage to predicting holiday rushes. No more flying blind through data silos between your inventory app and sales logs.

Unlock Efficiency That Lets Your Bakery Thrive

Real-Time Waste Reduction

Real-Time Waste Reduction: Spot over-mixed dough or unused fillings instantly via color-coded alerts, slashing waste by up to 25% in the first quarter and freeing cash for premium ingredients like organic berries. No more tossing perfectly good batter because you couldn't see the patterns across morning and evening prep.

Smarter Demand Forecasting

Smarter Demand Forecasting: Predict wholesale spikes with 90% accuracy using your sales history, seasonal trends, and local event data, ensuring you bake just enough bagels without leftovers piling up like unsold croissants during weekend brunch surges.

Effortless Staffing Wins

Effortless Staffing Wins: Visualize busy hours from walk-ins to delivery peaks on an intuitive mobile dashboard, optimizing shifts to cut overtime by 15 hours a week, reduce no-shows during dinner service, and keep your team fresh for the rush without burning out your sous chefs.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were throwing out 30 pounds of dough weekly because we couldn't track usage patterns across shifts—especially with variable bread recipes. Now, it's down to 5 pounds thanks to the real-time prep alerts, and our wholesale forecasting nailed a big holiday order for 500 sourdough loaves last December, saving us from a total scramble and an extra $2,000 in rush fees."

Maria Gonzalez

Owner, Rise & Bake Bakery

"I was buried in spreadsheets trying to figure out why Fridays were always chaos with pizza dough runs and sauce shortages. Their custom setup shows real-time customer flow and inventory dips right on my phone, including oven throughput metrics. Cut our staffing mismatches in half within the first month—finally, some breathing room in the kitchen without last-minute call-ins."

Tom Reilly

Head Baker, Urban Crust Pizzeria

"Seasonal rushes used to blindside us, especially with pumpkin spice scones and lattes in fall overwhelming our pastry case. The dashboard pulls in sales data, supplier alerts for spice imports, and foot traffic trends, helping us prep exactly right. Last fall, we boosted revenue by 18% without extra hires by scaling up exactly 200 units—game-changer for a small spot like ours juggling cafe and wholesale."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery Dive

We chat about your bakery's daily grind - from oven schedules to customer favorites - to map out the data that matters most, ensuring everything aligns with your unique flow.

Step 2

Custom Build Phase

Our team crafts your dashboard from scratch, integrating tools like your POS and inventory system into a real-time view that's as intuitive as checking your proofing racks.

Step 3

Launch and Tune

We roll it out with training for your team, then refine based on early use - like adjusting for a sudden surge in baguette demand - so it evolves with your bakery.

Why We're Different

We code everything custom, ditching brittle no-code hacks that break during peak baking hours - true ownership means your dashboard scales as your bakery grows.

Unlike assemblers piecing together rented tools, we build unified systems that end your subscription chaos, saving you thousands in overlapping fees.

Our engineers live the frustration of data silos, so we create deep integrations that pull bakery-specific metrics like yield rates without manual tweaks.

We focus on production-ready apps that handle high-volume rushes, not fragile workflows that crash when orders spike.

True two-way APIs mean your dashboard actively pushes updates to suppliers, preventing stockouts before they happen.

We replace juggling disconnected apps with one owned asset, giving you control over your data like owning your own oven instead of renting.

Our backgrounds in building full SaaS platforms ensure your dashboard is robust, not a patchwork that unravels under pressure.

We prioritize actionable insights over raw data dumps, tailoring KPIs to bakery realities like seasonal fruit availability.

No superficial connections here - we engineer solutions that adapt to your workflow, reducing errors in high-stakes baking environments.

We're builders who get the tactile world of food service, creating tools that enhance, not complicate, your hands-on operations.

Common Questions

How does a custom dashboard differ from my current POS reports?

Your POS spits out basic sales numbers, but it's like reading a recipe without tasting the batter - incomplete. We build a full dashboard that pulls in inventory, staffing, and customer data for a 360-view. For bakeries, this means seeing how morning rush affects flour usage in real-time, not just end-of-day totals. We've helped spots like yours cut reporting time from hours to minutes, letting you focus on perfecting that signature sourdough. It's all tailored, so no generic charts - just insights that match your workflow.

What data sources can you integrate for my bakery?

We connect whatever you're using: POS systems like Square or Toast, inventory tools such as MarketMan, even supplier APIs for flour deliveries. Picture this - your dashboard auto-syncs wholesale orders from emails and predicts restocks based on bake schedules. No more manual entry that leads to overordering yeast. For a mid-sized bakery, we once integrated three disjointed apps into one feed, reducing errors by 40%. It's seamless, secure, and built to handle the daily flux of a busy kitchen.

How long until I see results from the dashboard?

Most bakeries notice quick wins in 2-4 weeks post-launch. Right away, you'll track waste patterns, like spotting why certain batches spoil faster. Over a month, forecasting accuracy kicks in, helping avoid those holiday scrambles. We start with a discovery call to prioritize - say, focusing on peak-hour staffing first. One client saw a 15% efficiency bump in the first quarter just from better visibility into customer peaks. It's not overnight magic, but targeted tweaks make it feel that way.

Is this dashboard mobile-friendly for checking during bakes?

Absolutely - it's responsive, so you can glance at inventory levels mid-mix or see incoming orders from your phone while pulling trays. No clunky desktop-only setup that ties you down. We design it for the bakery hustle: quick-load charts on dough prep times or sales dips. A owner we worked with checks wholesale forecasts during breaks, preventing stockouts without stepping away from the ovens. Secure logins ensure only your team accesses it, keeping things tight in a shared kitchen environment.

What if my bakery's needs change seasonally?

Bakeries aren't static - fall means more pies, spring lighter pastries. Our dashboards are built to adapt; we include modular updates so you can tweak KPIs without a full rebuild. For instance, swap in seasonal tracking for pumpkin yields. We've updated systems for clients mid-year, like adding event-based forecasting for farmers' markets. It's like adjusting your oven temps - precise and painless. Post-launch support ensures it evolves, keeping your operations as fresh as your daily bakes.

How much does custom development cost for a bakery like mine?

Costs vary by complexity, but for a standard bakery setup with POS and inventory integration, expect $15K-$30K upfront, with ongoing tweaks under $1K monthly. This replaces multiple subscriptions that could run you $500+ a month. Think long-term: one client recouped costs in six months through 20% waste reduction. We start with a free consult to scope your needs precisely, avoiding overkill. It's an investment in owning your data, not renting scattered tools that don't talk to each other.
