Pre-order management for custom cakes and catering. Self-serve kiosks for grab-and-go pastry cases. Real-time inventory that removes sold-out items automatically. Digital display menus that update when items sell out. All in one platform — from a single bakery counter to Baked Cravings' self-serve kiosk at Lego Land.
Bakeries operate differently from restaurants — pre-orders, custom cakes, limited daily inventory, and grab-and-go displays create unique POS requirements.
A custom cake order includes size, layers, flavor, filling, frosting type, color, decorations, writing, dietary restrictions, pickup date, and deposit payment. Most POS systems treat this as a simple menu item with notes. That means lost specifications, miscommunicated orders, and cakes that do not match. Each remake costs $30 to $100 in wasted ingredients and labor.
A bakery starts the day with 40 croissants and zero by 10 AM. Bread loaves sell at different rates. Seasonal items have limited runs. Your POS needs to track what is available right now and update your menu board and online ordering when items sell out. Most POS systems do not handle real-time, fast-moving inventory.
Holiday pre-orders, wedding cakes, catering platters for office events — bakeries take orders days or weeks in advance. You need to track deposits, production schedules, and pickup dates. If pre-orders are managed on paper or in a separate spreadsheet, orders get lost and production gets disorganized.
Many bakeries have a display case where customers grab items and pay at the counter. During busy periods, the line backs up because one cashier handles every transaction. Self-serve kiosks let customers scan, pay, and go — reducing wait times and freeing staff to focus on production.
Features built for bakery operations — from pre-orders to self-serve checkout, used by real bakeries like Baked Cravings.
Structured order forms for custom cakes and special orders. Size, layers, flavor, filling, frosting, decorations, and pickup date all captured in the POS — not in a notepad. Deposit tracking, production queue visibility, and customer notification when the order is ready.
Structured Cake OrdersBaked Cravings operates a self-serve kiosk at Lego Land using KwickOS with the PaxA35 terminal. Customers browse the pastry menu, select items, customize, and pay without waiting for a cashier. Perfect for grab-and-go bakery counters, 24-hour retail locations, and high-traffic venues.
Baked Cravings at Lego LandTrack bakery inventory in real time. When the last croissant sells, it disappears from your menu board and online ordering automatically. Set low-stock alerts for production planning. Know what to bake more of based on actual sales velocity.
Auto Menu UpdatesTurn your menu board into a dynamic digital display. Show today's fresh items, cross out sold-out products in real time, promote seasonal specials, and display prices that update from your POS. Schedule different menus for morning pastries, lunch sandwiches, and afternoon coffee.
Real-Time Menu BoardChoose any payment processor. Bakeries with high volumes of small transactions benefit from negotiating per-transaction rates. A bakery doing $250,000 per year saves $1,500-$3,000 annually by choosing their own processor instead of being locked into Toast or Square.
You Choose Your RateCustomers pre-order for pickup through your own branded online platform. Custom cake orders with all specifications submitted online. Catering orders placed days in advance. Orders flow to your production queue. No commissions — KwickMenu processes 500,000 clicks per month.
Pre-Orders OnlineBaked Cravings operates a self-serve kiosk at Lego Land powered by KwickOS with the PaxA35 terminal.

Customers browse the menu, select pastries, customize their order, and pay — all without waiting for staff. This model demonstrates how KwickOS adapts to non-traditional bakery environments where speed and self-service are essential.
