POS for bakeries
Bakery POS and billing software for the shelf and the oven
Bread by the loaf, cookies by the box, cake by the half kilo, and an oven lit before the shop opens. A bakery sells what it made this morning and worries about what is left tonight.

- Dated batchesButter, cream and milk arrive with an expiry date and are used in that order.
- Wastage apartSpoiled cream or a dropped tray of dough is recorded as wastage, kept apart from the count.

02In detail
Can CountStand bill by weight?
Not off a scale. CountStand does not connect to a weighing scale, and a bill line is a whole quantity. A bakery that sells cake by the half kilo sets the sizes up as variants, each with its own price: half kilo, one kilo, a box of six. Many counters already price that way, and it keeps every bill exact.
Loose items weighed afresh for each customer are the case this version does not cover.
How do bakery recipes and stock work?
Give each product a recipe and CountStand takes its ingredients off stock when it sells: so much flour, butter and sugar for a loaf, so much cream for a pastry. Count the store at close and the stock screen shows the difference between what the recipes used and what is left, in rupees, item by item.
Stock comes off at the sale, not when the tray leaves the oven. Batch production belongs to the central-kitchen tools, which are for a kitchen that supplies other outlets.
Which GST does a bakery’s bill carry?
That depends on how you sell. Whether a counter sale is taxed as goods or as restaurant service turns on how your bakery trades, and the rates differ between the two. CountStand applies the rate and HSN code you set on each item, and the printed bill sums the tax by code. Settle the rates with your accountant once and every bill follows them.
03Questions
Questions from bakeries
No. Bill lines are whole quantities, and there is no scale connection in this version. Set cake sizes up as variants, half kilo and one kilo, and each prices itself.
Yes. Each item has its own rate and HSN code, and the bill shows the tax for each code. A bakery on the composition scheme prints a bill of supply instead, with no tax lines.
Record wastage on the stock screen as it happens. It stays apart from the count, so the variance at close is what is really missing, not what was thrown away.
