Bread is zero-rated, cakes and hot food are not. Set the rate on each item and DUMA works out the margin you actually keep — on the menu, in the reports and on every sale.
Sourdough loaf

Pricing bakes by feel.
Flour and butter go up, the price on the board doesn’t. DUMA costs every bake from its recipe, with the right VAT rate on each item.
Binning the margin at close.
Unsold bakes are money in the bin, and nobody adds it up. Log waste in DUMA and see what it costs, every day.
Running out of butter mid-bake.
Stock counted by eye is wrong by morning. Every sale takes its share off what’s on hand, low items are flagged, and supplier orders are checked in on arrival.
Taking orders on scraps of paper.
A birthday cake ordered by phone shouldn’t live on a sticky note. Take phone and collection orders in DUMA, beside everything else.
Letting the till stop with the Wi-Fi.
A dropped connection at the morning rush shouldn’t mean a queue out the door. The DUMA till keeps taking orders and sends them later.
One workspace for the counter, the bakehouse and the stock room: recipes with real margin, waste you can see, stock that counts itself down and a till that never stops.
* free in full means it stays free with no limits. The names and figures in these cards are examples.

Whether you run a high-street bakery, a patisserie or a market stall, these are the jobs DUMA takes off your early mornings.
Start with the one you need most. The rest is already in the same workspace, with nothing to move when you’re ready.
See the margin on every loaf, pastry and cake, with zero-rated and standard-rated items each handled right.
Check what sold yesterday and on a typical same weekday before deciding how much to bake today.
Log what’s left at close and see what it cost. The bakes that come back every day are the ones to make fewer of.
Phone and collection orders sit with the rest of the day’s orders, so nothing is forgotten at pick-up time.
Bakery software should connect what you bake to what you sell and what you throw away. If you only look at takings, you can’t see the waste. If you only look at waste, you can’t see which bakes earn their place.
Tell DUMA what you run.
Bakery, patisserie or market stall — answer a few questions at sign-up and DUMA switches on the parts that fit.
Bring in your bakes and recipes.
Add your bakes with their recipes, prices and VAT rates, and your suppliers. We’ll help you do it, for free.
Open the till.
Use any tablet or phone, keep your card machine, and take your first order. Stock, waste and reports update from then on.
Three ways most bakeries run. Here is what each one covers.
Good at taking payments. Recipe costing, waste and stock usually live somewhere else.
