The Cottage Baker Lifecycle

How a Stress-Free Baking Week Works

Built from the ground up for micro-bakeries and cottage food operators who bake in weekly batch drops rather than continuous on-demand menus.

Step 01MondayNo Over-Baking

Schedule Your Weekly Drop & Oven Caps

Pick when ordering opens (e.g., Monday 8:00 AM) and when it closes (e.g., Thursday 6:00 PM). Set hard limits per item so you bake only what your home ovens can physically hold.

Custom countdown timer displayed on storefront
Item-level quantity caps (e.g., max 30 sourdough loaves)
Automatic 'SOLD OUT' state when capacity is reached
Customizable porch pickup or market delivery time windows

The Kitchen Prep Engine

From Pre-Orders to Oven Bake Sheets in One Click.

Never do late-night mental math or scribble weights on flour-covered scrap paper again. When your drop cutoff passes, BakeKeeper aggregates orders into exact batch yields, scaled ingredient weights, and packing lists.
