The design conversation is scattered
A message about color, another about wording and a last-minute serving change are difficult to reconcile at the mixer. Keep an agreed order description that you can review with the customer before preparation.
Software for home bakers
Keep the custom bake clear before the oven is full.
A birthday cake, a tray of brownies and a loaf order make different demands on a home kitchen. Put the approved size, decoration and collection arrangement with each customer order, then track the spending behind the bake.
Unleash your potential.
The everyday details
You know the work.
The admin adds up.
Packaging belongs in the cost
Cake boards, boxes, labels and delivery supplies can be overlooked beside flour and butter. Recording those purchases helps you evaluate a custom order beyond the ingredients in the bowl.
A pickup promise does not set the baking plan
Cooling, filling and decorating need space before collection. Keep your own production plan and agree pickup details explicitly rather than assuming an order total explains when the bake will be ready.
How Microtra helps
Keep the business connected.
Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.
Describe what the customer approved
Use estimate and invoice items for cake size, filling, decoration and packaging. Include the agreed wording and collection notes, then check the document before sharing its PDF from your device.

Explore this featureA day in the life
From the first quote to paid.
Confirm the bake rather than just the occasion
Ask for the intended size, flavor, decoration and pickup arrangement. Discuss dietary requests through your food safety process and record the exact scope you are able to accept.
Check the supplies on hand
Review usable ingredients and the right box or board before buying more. Enter purchases and wastage consistently so your records reflect what remains available for other orders.
Work from the agreed description
Refer to the order notes when preparing decoration and lettering. Confirm a requested change with the customer before it affects the finished bake or the amount charged.
Hand over and reconcile
Check the completed order against the accepted details and provide the invoice PDF. Record payment taken through your normal method and review expenses when assessing the order's business result.

Questions from home bakers.
Does the app scale recipes or produce allergen labels?
Microtra does not provide recipe scaling, food safety checks or compliant label generation. Use your established production and labeling procedures; the app keeps the customer order and business records.
Can I accept a cake order through a public checkout?
Microtra does not provide a public bakery storefront or checkout. Agree the order directly, share the invoice PDF and record payments you collect elsewhere. Public online booking and card charging are coming soon.
Which setup suits a kitchen selling custom bakes?
Bakery & food uses Order and Customer, with stock and locations on. Linked records and schedule start off; enable additional modules in Modules & terms when your business needs them.
Will ingredient counts automatically calculate a cake's recipe cost?
Microtra does not calculate recipe yields or a production batch's ingredient consumption. Enter purchasing, counts and wastage yourself and use your own costing worksheet to decide the price.
