Recipes and Bake Costs — batch size, ingredient and packaging cost per batch, cost per unit, price per unit, and margin in dollars and percent for every recipe. Change an ingredient cost and every order profit updates by formula.
Orders — date, customer, order type (Market, Wholesale, Custom, Direct), item, quantity, unit price, revenue, cost per unit pulled from the recipe sheet, profit per order, and margin. Log market days, wholesale, custom cakes, and direct sales in one place.
Ingredients and Inventory — ingredient, unit, quantity on hand, reorder point, cost per unit, and stock value. Anything at or below its reorder point is flagged LOW STOCK so you buy it before the next bake day.
Monthly P and L — revenue, bake cost, market stall fees, utilities, and other expenses by month, Jan-Dec, with net profit and margin. Revenue and bake cost are formulas from the Orders sheet.
Dashboard — total revenue, orders, units sold, average order value, gross and net profit and margin, best recipe by margin dollars and by margin percent, best-selling recipe, best order and best order type, costs by category, and low stock count.
