You're producing 200 different items for 40 different clients this week. Where's the plan?
FlexiBake gives catering and foodservice production operations the system they've been managing on whiteboards and spreadsheets --- order consolidation, batch production planning, recipe-driven ingredient purchasing, allergen tracking across menus, and delivery scheduling. One platform for everything between the order and the truck.
Why catering manufacturers need purpose-built software
Production planning across dozens of items per day
A single day's production might include 15 entrees, 10 sides, 8 desserts, and 6 salads across 4 different client orders. Planning that production --- what to prep first, what shared ingredients overlap, what needs to be finished by which delivery time --- is currently happening on a whiteboard or in someone's head.
Ingredient purchasing from menus, not guesses
When this week's orders include 500 portions of chicken marsala and 300 portions of beef stroganoff, how much chicken, beef, mushrooms, and cream do you need? If you're calculating from menu recipes manually, you're either over-ordering (waste) or under-ordering (emergency supplier runs). FlexiBake calculates ingredient requirements from your recipes and your orders.
Allergen management across menus
Client A needs a nut-free menu. Client B has three vegan attendees. Client C requires gluten-free options. Allergen management across a diverse production schedule means tracking every ingredient in every recipe for every client. One missed allergen declaration can end a client relationship --- or worse.
Multi-client delivery coordination
Different clients, different delivery locations, different time windows, different items. The logistics of getting the right food to the right place at the right time is a daily coordination challenge. FlexiBake connects production schedules to delivery routes, so the production plan sequences backward from delivery times and the loading plan matches the route.
The Catering transformation
- Multi-item production planned on whiteboards and in someone's head
- Ingredient purchasing calculated manually from menu recipes
- Allergen tracking across diverse menus done by memory
- Multi-client delivery coordination managed with phone calls and paper
- Food waste from over-ordering without recipe-driven purchasing
- Orders consolidated into a unified production plan with shared ingredient calculations
- Exact ingredient requirements generated from recipes and orders automatically
- Allergens defined at ingredient level and inherited through every recipe and menu item
- Production sequenced backward from delivery times with route-matched loading plans
- Waste reduced through precise, recipe-driven purchasing tied to actual orders
How FlexiBake works for catering manufacturers
Order consolidation and production planning
Consolidate orders from multiple clients into a unified production plan. FlexiBake groups shared ingredients, sequences production by delivery deadline, and generates a plan that accounts for prep time, cooking time, cooling, and packing.
Learn moreRecipe-driven ingredient purchasing
Every menu item is a recipe. Every recipe drives ingredient requirements. When orders are entered, FlexiBake calculates exactly what you need to purchase, cross-referenced against current inventory. No manual calculations. No over-ordering just in case.
Learn moreAllergen tracking across menus
Allergens defined at the ingredient level and inherited through every recipe. When a client requests a nut-free menu, FlexiBake identifies which menu items contain tree nut or peanut allergens --- and flags potential cross-contact from shared production equipment.
Learn moreInventory management with perishable tracking
Real-time inventory for fresh ingredients with short shelf lives. FIFO enforcement. Expiry tracking. Shortage alerts before you're mid-prep and discover you're short on cream. Waste tracking to identify where product loss is happening.
Learn moreDelivery scheduling
Connect production output to delivery routes. FlexiBake schedules production backward from delivery times, assigns completed orders to routes, and tracks delivery confirmation per client.
