A bakery counter runs on two very different jobs at once. The retail shelf needs a fast, single-price checkout for a box of pastries, while a wedding cake needs a conversation, an agreed weight, a design reference photo and an advance payment. Most bakeries try to do both on a till, and the custom orders end up in a notebook.

MenuTap gives every weight its own menu item, so a 0.5 kg and a 2 kg cake are separate SKUs with their own price and stock. Custom orders get a photo and a note against the order, the customer can pay an advance digitally, and the retail counter still bills at counter speed.

What Bakeries & Cake Shops Get With MenuTap

Every capability below ships in the product today, on both dine-in and delivery orders.

Per-Weight Cake Items

Publish 0.5 kg, 1 kg and 2 kg options as separate menu items, each with its own price, image and stock count.

Custom Order Photo & Notes

Attach a reference photo and design notes to a custom cake order so the kitchen sees exactly what was agreed.

Advance Payment Collection

Take an advance through UPI or a payment gateway for wedding and birthday cakes before the order enters production.

Retail Counter Billing

A quick-counter billing flow built for high-volume pastry and cake-box sales, with no table required.

58mm & 80mm Thermal Bills

Print thermal receipts sized for a retail counter, including barcode-style references for scanning at the shelf.

Flavour & Size Stock Control

WhatsApp Order Updates

Send the customer a confirmation on WhatsApp as soon as the order is taken, and when it is ready for pickup.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I charge different prices for different cake weights?

Create a separate menu item for each weight, such as a 1 kg chocolate cake and a 2 kg chocolate cake, each with its own price and stock. MenuTap stores a single price per item, so separate items is the intended way to do this.

Can I collect an advance for a wedding cake?

Yes. Take the advance through UPI or a payment gateway when the order is confirmed, and record the remaining balance to be collected at pickup.

Does the retail counter need a table for every sale?

No. The quick-counter billing flow handles counter sales without a table, which suits a busy bakery shop where most orders are takeaway.

Can customers send a cake design photo?

Yes. A reference photo and design note can be attached to the custom order so the kitchen has the agreed design on screen.

How do I keep pastry stock accurate?

Each flavour and size is a separate item, so stock deducts as it is sold and you can see which items are running low before a busy weekend.
