The front of the bakery

Everything the counter needs, built in.

No stitching together a website builder, a payment app, a spreadsheet and a notebook. It’s one system, and every order goes straight to the bench.

Two traditions, the same care

France and Italy, loaf by loaf.

Each bread has its flour, its preferment and its oven. Recipes keep them with their flour type (00, 0, 1, rye or semola) and their method, so they come out the same every day, and the same list is your storefront menu.

What happens in a small bakery

Three things that cost you money every week.

DMs

Orders arrive everywhere

Phone calls, Instagram messages, a note on the counter. Something gets missed, someone doesn’t show up, and the bread you set aside goes stale.

You don’t know what a baguette costs

Butter went up, the Tipo 00 bag went up, and your price stayed the same. Without cost per piece you can’t tell which products make money.

Cost and margin per piece →
2 × 1

You say yes and the oven can’t keep up

A restaurant orders 60 baguettes for 7 a.m. You accept, and at 6 two doughs are waiting for the same oven. One overproofs and gets thrown out.

A schedule without clashes →

A real night shift

How your team works while you sleep.

Four bakes, one mixer and one oven. The shift was planned the afternoon before from the day’s orders; your team just follows the steps. Scroll and watch the night go by.

    Production · 01 Recipes

    The recipe belongs to the bakery, not to one person.

    Each recipe is saved once, in baker’s percentages, with its stages and formats. Whoever is on shift asks for pieces or kilos and gets flour, water and salt to the gram, loss included. Then they weigh it step by step on a big screen. The bread comes out the same on Monday as on Saturday.

    • Scale by pieces, kilos of dough or kilos of flour
    • Preferments and sourdough inside the 100 %
    • Weighing mode that guides whoever is new

      Recipes on a tablet: poolish baguette scaled to 48 pieces, with the poolish shown as its own stage and the first ingredients checked off Weighing mode: the screen shows the next ingredient weight in large numbers, like a scale, with the one after it below

      Production · 02 Cost and margin

      What each piece costs you, and what it leaves you.

      Enter the price per kilo of your ingredients once. The app works out the cost of each batch, each kilo of dough and each piece, loss included. The storefront price sits right beside it, so you see the margin. When butter goes up, change one number and every recipe updates.

      • Cost per piece, per kilo and per batch
      • Margin per piece at your selling price
      • Total ingredient cost of every shift
      Work out my costs
      Try it with the sample pricesdollars per piece

      Sample prices in US dollars, with flour bought by the bag. In the app you enter yours.

      Production · 03 Water temperature

      Every dough at the right temperature, every night.

      A warm dough overproofs and gets tossed; a cold one reaches the oven late and holds up the whole shift. The app adds up the room, the flour, your mixer’s friction and the preferment, and tells your team exactly how warm the water should be and how much ice to add.

      • Three- or four-factor formula, depending on the preferment
      • Calibrate your mixer’s real friction with one batch
      • Ice calculation for hot days, in °F or °C
      Work out the water
      Try it: dough at 75 °F, spiral mixerflour at 75 °F

      Water temperature calculator on a phone, with a thermometer and the split of degrees

      Production · 04 Bake schedule

      Before you accept a big order, you know if the oven can take it.

      Pull in tomorrow’s orders, or add bakes by hand. The schedule counts back every stage: mixing, bulk, shaping, proofing and baking in loads. If two doughs want the mixer or the oven at once it turns red. Drag the bar or let it propose a fix that only moves bakes earlier.

      • Bake list built from your orders with one tap
      • Draggable timeline with mixer and oven lanes
      • Step by step with time, dough weight and water temperature
      Plan the shift

      Production · 05 Team plan

      Everyone knows what to do, and when.

      Split the day into blocks, give every task a name, a time and a station, and Fresco builds the rest: a card for each person, a sheet for each station and the whole day on one page for the wall. It warns you when someone is in two places at once, when the mixer is double-booked or when a shift has no break.

      • Ready-made days for 3- and 5-person bakeries
      • Day board by person or by station, with who’s doing what right now
      • Printable wall sheet and personal task cards to tick off

      Sourdough

      Artisan bakery

      • Water temperature
      Café

      Café that bakes
