Unlock Time and Cost Wins That Scale With Your Bakery

Save 20+ Hours Weekly on Routine Tasks

Save 20+ Hours Weekly on Routine Tasks: No more manual stock checks of rising agents at dawn or chasing handwritten order slips for wedding tiers. Our AI automates inventory tracking and reordering for items like vanilla extract, freeing your team to perfect laminated dough recipes instead of paperwork. Bakeries we've worked with report cutting waste by 30% on perishables and reclaiming hours for customer-facing magic, like personalized icing consultations.

Boost Productivity with 4x Efficiency Gains

Boost Productivity with 4x Efficiency Gains: You're probably thinking, 'How do I handle peak wedding season without burnout from endless pie crust rolling?' Our system predicts demand using your POS sales data on croissants and eclairs, auto-schedules bakes for proofing cycles, and flags issues early—like low fondant alerts before a big order. Result? Smoother ops during rush hours, happier staff, and a quick ROI through reduced overtime costs, with one bakery avoiding $3K in rush hires last quarter.

Slash Costs by Automating Supplier Syncs

Slash Costs by Automating Supplier Syncs: Let's be honest, haggling with fluctuating prices for bulk almond flour and dealing with delayed deliveries of fresh fruits eats profits. We build AI that forecasts needs based on seasonal menu trends, places smart orders for staples like chocolate ganache components, and negotiates basics via supplier API integrations. One client saved $5K yearly on overstock of nuts and berries alone, turning potential headaches into predictable savings within the first season.

What Clients Say

""Before AIQ, we'd spend mornings recounting 50-pound flour bags and afternoons fixing mix-ups on custom tart orders—it was exhausting and threw off our dough proofing. Now, the system auto-tracks everything from eggs to extracts, and we've cut our weekly waste from 15% to under 5% on dairy items. Last holiday season, we handled double the custom apple pies without extra staff, thanks to real-time inventory alerts.""

Maria Gonzalez

Owner, Sweet Rise Artisan Bakery

""I was skeptical about AI in a hands-on spot like my shop, but they built something that fits our daily grind perfectly. No more lost multi-tier cake orders or surprise shortages of piping gel during rush. In the first three months, we saved about 18 hours a week on manual logs and boosted our repeat customer rate by 25% with flawless cupcake deliveries—it's like having an extra baker for intricate designs.""

Tom Reilly

Head Baker, Daily Dough Specialty Bakery

""Our old setup meant constant calls to suppliers for organic wheat and manual logs that led to mistakes, costing us $2,000 in spoiled sourdough starters last year. AIQ's automation integrated our POS with inventory overnight, syncing batch sizes for baguettes. Now, predictions are spot-on for peak brunch hours, and we're prepping for summer berry tarts without the stress—ROI hit in under six months with zero rework.""

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Workflow Mapping

We start with a deep chat about your bakery's daily grind—from early mixes to end-of-day cleanups. No templates here; we tailor everything to your unique flow, identifying bottlenecks like rush-hour orders.

Step 2

Custom AI Design and Build

Our engineers craft your system, integrating tools like your POS and supplier APIs. We test rigorously, ensuring it handles real scenarios, such as auto-adjusting for a sudden donut surge.

Step 3

Seamless Launch and Optimization

We roll it out with hands-on training for your team, then monitor and tweak based on your first week's bakes. It's not set-it-and-forget-it; we refine for ongoing efficiency, like fine-tuning a recipe.

Why We're Different

We build from scratch with custom code, not fragile no-code patches that break during busy shifts—giving you true ownership over a system that evolves with your bakery.

Unlike assemblers stacking subscription apps, we create one unified hub that eliminates data silos, saving you from the 'tool overload' that plagues 80% of food service ops.

Our focus on production-ready scalability means your automation grows with demand, like from local shop to multi-location, without costly rebuilds.

We prioritize deep integrations with bakery-specific tools (POS, inventory trackers), ensuring seamless data flow that off-the-shelf solutions can't match.

Born from our own frustrations with fragmented tools, we deliver robust AI that prevents downtime—critical when a glitch could mean wasted dough.

Clients own their system outright, ditching monthly fees for a one-time build that pays off in under a year through real time savings.

We engineer for reliability in high-stakes environments, like perishable goods, where one error costs hundreds—unlike brittle workflows from typical agencies.

Our multi-agent AI learns your patterns over time, adapting to seasonal shifts better than static templates ever could.

We avoid superficial connections; our two-way APIs mean real-time updates, like instant stock alerts during a rush.

Every solution includes custom UIs designed for your team's workflow, making adoption effortless—no steep learning curves mid-bake.

Common Questions

How does this automation handle seasonal fluctuations in my bakery?

Seasonal swings, like holiday pie rushes or summer cupcake booms, are tough without smart forecasting. Our custom AI dives into your historical sales, weather patterns, and local events to predict demand accurately. For instance, it might flag a 40% uptick in bread orders during winter, auto-adjusting inventory and staff schedules. We build this tailored to your data—no generic models. Bakeries see 25-30% less overstock this way, saving cash and reducing waste. Setup takes about two weeks post-discovery, and we fine-tune it ongoing to match your evolving menu.

Will this system integrate with my existing POS and accounting software?

Absolutely, integration is our specialty. We map your current POS (like Square or Toast) and accounting tools (QuickBooks, etc.) into a single flow, eliminating double-entry that steals hours. Picture this: a sale rings up, inventory updates instantly, and low-stock triggers a supplier ping—all without you lifting a finger. We've done this for dozens of food service spots, ensuring secure, two-way data sync. No disruptions during build; we test in parallel. Expect 15-20 hours saved weekly on admin alone, with ROI kicking in fast.

What's the timeline for implementing end-to-end automation in my bakery?

We keep it straightforward and quick. After our initial consult, discovery takes 1-2 weeks to understand your workflow. Building the custom system follows in 4-6 weeks, with testing to catch any quirks. Launch includes training, and you're live in under two months total. Unlike cookie-cutter solutions, ours is built for your exact needs—like auto-scheduling for custom cakes—so it fits from day one. Post-launch, we optimize for a month, ensuring smooth sailing. Clients often see immediate wins, like halved order errors right away.

How much does custom automation cost for a small bakery like mine?

Costs vary by your setup, but for a typical small bakery (under 10 staff), we're talking $15K-$30K for a full end-to-end build—far less than ongoing subscriptions that add up to $10K yearly. Think of it as an investment: one client recouped costs in four months via 20 hours/week savings and 20% waste cuts. We provide a detailed quote after discovery, focusing on your pain points like inventory chaos. No hidden fees; you own it outright, scaling affordably as you grow. It's not cheap, but the ROI—often 3-5x in year one—makes it a no-brainer for efficiency-focused owners.

Can this automation improve customer experience in my bakery?

Definitely—customer experience is huge in food service, where loyalty drives repeats. Our system personalizes interactions, like AI suggesting 'Your usual sourdough is ready—pick up by 5 PM' based on past buys. It also handles custom orders flawlessly, reducing wait times and errors that frustrate folks. For deliveries, real-time tracking keeps customers in the loop. We've seen bakeries boost satisfaction scores by 35%, turning one-time visitors into regulars. It's all custom to your brand, enhancing that warm, personal touch without extra effort from your team.

What if my bakery expands—does the system scale?

Scalability is baked in (pun intended). We design with growth in mind, so adding a second location or new menu lines is seamless—no full rebuilds. The AI learns as you expand, adjusting forecasts for more ovens or staff. For example, if you open a cafe arm, we integrate it effortlessly. Our production-ready code handles 10x volume without hiccups, unlike no-code tools that cap out. Clients who've scaled report sustained 20-30% efficiency gains, keeping costs low. We include a roadmap in your build for future-proofing.
