POS software for bakeries
POS software for bakeries and cake shops: the day’s items one tap away, sold by weight or by unit, and a queue that keeps moving.
No credit card. No lock-in.
Bakeries and cake shops already running Catinfog
From village bakeries to shops with a bakehouse and several branches. An average rating of 4.6 out of 5 on Trustpilot.
The morning queue moves. That was the whole reason we changed system.

I’m sticking with Catinfog for how simple and effective it is. It’s saved me a great deal of time.

With Catinfog we can serve customers at the bar, at the tables and out on the terrace all at the same time.

For bakeries
A point of sale built for the morning rush
Between eight and ten in the morning nobody has time to look up a code. The day’s items sit on screen as buttons with a photo, one tap away.
By weight
Sell by weight or by unit
Loaves by the unit, pastries by the tray, cakes by weight: key in 0.750 and the price works itself out from the price per kilo, with that same amount coming off the stock.
Touchscreen
Sell by tapping the screen
A touchscreen keeps hands off the keyboard, which matters when you’re handling food. Two taps to finish a sale.
On the move
Your shop in your pocket
See how the morning went from your phone: what you took, what sold most and what you have left.
Online shop
Take orders online
The POS comes with an online shop, so customers can order a cake for the weekend or a tray of pastries and collect it when it suits them.
Cashing up
Close the till and go home
Every payment goes in sorted by how it was paid, so when you close, the cash-up is already done: how much in cash, how much on card, and whether it matches the drawer.
How much to bake
You decide tomorrow’s batch at four in the morning
Bake too little and you turn people away by eleven; bake too much and you are throwing money in the bin at close. The POS shows you what each line actually sold last Tuesday, and the Tuesday before that, so the decision comes from figures rather than from a feeling.
Rainy Mondays and the day before a bank holiday behave nothing like each other, and after a few weeks you can see exactly how.
End of the day
What’s left at seven is worth less than at nine
Bread does not keep. Drop the price on what is left for the last hour and it goes out of the door as a sale instead of into a bag as waste, and the till still knows what you charged.
Whatever you do give away or throw, put it in as such. Otherwise the stock says you have twelve loaves you no longer have, and nothing adds up at the end of the month.
The queue
A loaf and two croissants, in two taps
Between eight and ten a bakery serves most of its customers, in small tickets and mostly in cash. The dozen things everyone buys sit on the first screen, so nobody hunts through categories with the shop full.
Round change comes up as a suggestion, and the drawer opens as you take the money rather than after three more taps.
While you’re at the oven
See the counter without standing at it
You are at the back with your hands in the dough and someone else is serving. Look at what has gone through the till this morning from your phone, without walking out to ask.
Whoever is on the counter signs in as themselves, so at cash-up a difference belongs to a shift rather than to nobody in particular.
Getting started
Up and running in 5 minutes
Watch the video and you’ll have the POS running in five minutes flat.

Everything it does
More of what the POS does
Every feature we’ve built is there to make your shop more productive.
Give your staff different permissions
If you’d rather your staff didn’t get into certain parts of the POS, you can stop them. Keep the dashboard — with everything about the shop and the stock — for managers and owners only.
Bring the data across from your old POS
Import your old system’s products and customers in bulk from a spreadsheet. It’s as simple as putting the columns in order and importing. The move is done in seconds.
Send your accountant the figures in one click
Forget sending hundreds of PDFs every quarter. Download your sales and refunds to a spreadsheet in one click and send it over. Easier for you, and a relief for them.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I sell by weight as well as by the unit?
Yes, both on the same ticket. Loaves and pastries go by the unit; for a cake you key in the weight — 0.750, for instance — and the price works itself out from the price per kilo, with that amount coming off the stock.
How do I serve quickly in the morning queue?
The day’s items sit on screen as buttons with a photo, so you tap them rather than looking up a code. Finishing a sale is two taps: the payment method, then take the money.
Can customers order a cake in advance?
Yes, through the online shop that comes with the POS. The order arrives with the details and the collection date, and you can have the ticket print in the bakehouse.
What do I need to get started?
A computer, a receipt printer, a cash drawer and an internet connection. Nothing else. If you weigh cakes on your own scales, you carry on using them exactly as you do now.
Can it help me decide how much to bake?
It shows you what each line actually sold on the same day in previous weeks, so the decision comes from figures rather than from a feeling. Rainy Mondays and the day before a bank holiday behave nothing like each other, and after a few weeks you can see how.
Can I drop the price on what is left at the end of the day?
Yes. You can sell the last hour at a lower price and the till still records what you actually charged, so it goes out as a sale rather than as waste.
What about bread I give away or throw out?
Put it in as such. Otherwise the stock says you have twelve loaves you no longer have, and the figures stop adding up at the end of the month.
Can I see the takings while someone else is serving?
Yes, from your phone, without walking out to the counter to ask. Whoever is serving signs in as themselves, so at cash-up a difference belongs to a shift rather than to nobody in particular.
