Production intelligence for independent bakeries

Tomorrow’s bake.
Made clearer.

SoldOut helps a bakery turn the product records it already keeps into a manager-reviewed production plan for the next day.

The daily trade-off

Freshness is decided before demand is known.

That makes daily production a commercial judgement call, not just an operational routine.

Prepare too much and unsold stock builds up. Prepare too little and customers meet an empty shelf.

SoldOut focuses on the product-level decision in between, using existing records to create a more deliberate starting point for the next bake.

How SoldOut fits in

Start with the records already on the counter.

SoldOut is deliberately narrow. It begins as a lightweight production-decision layer beside the bakery’s current tools.

01

Import daily records

Upload a simple CSV or spreadsheet with sales and production data. The bakery keeps ownership of its existing workflow.

Spreadsheet-first onboarding
02

Review tomorrow’s bake plan

See product-level quantity guidance with a reason and range, rather than a black-box instruction.

Clear recommendation logic
03

Adjust and approve

The manager changes any quantity, adds practical context and approves the final production sheet.

Manager remains in control
04

Learn from the day

Track forecast versus actual demand, unsold output and stockouts to test whether the service earns its place.

Measure before making claims

The manager makes the final call.

Operational judgement stays in the workflow. Quantities can be adjusted before the production sheet is approved.

Plan marked as approved

Measure the next decision.

Track actual outcomes so the bakery can test whether this workflow reduces uncertainty before making performance claims.

Records inform the plan. The manager makes the call.

SoldOut starts with a repeatable CSV workflow. Only after it proves useful in a bakery’s real operating rhythm would a scheduled connector or POS integration be considered.
