HOW DOES USING BAKE DIARY MAKE IT EASIER AND MORE EFFICIENT FOR DECORATORS TO RUN THEIR BUSINESSES ?
We offer a variety of different features in Bake Diary that help decorators be more efficient in running their business , but the most loved feature is that your entire baking diary is available instantly at the touch of a button wherever they are in the world .
Ensuring that Bake Diary was optimised for use on mobile devices was one of our main targets we wanted to offer . Nowadays , everyone has a phone and being able to easily run your business from it while out and about was paramount . While making it available on mobile devices , we also needed to ensure that it was easy and straight-forward to use , regardless if you were familiar with technology apps or not .
Another great feature that helps with being efficient is access to the multitude of different reports you can run . These include ; shopping and ingredient lists , baking lists as well as delivery and collection lists . All of these reports make it really simple to plan and be organised for your upcoming orders .
Being able to collect payments can be a daunting task , but being able to connect your Stripe or Square account , accepting online payments for your invoices has simplified this job .
The last item that ’ s worth mentioning is that Bake Diary is a single source for almost all of your admin needs for running your business . From pricing your recipes , printing out cutting guides , to preparing your end of your tax reports . Everything is in one place means you can reduce the need for many other platforms ( and those costs associated with them ).
