What it means
In practice
Counter and wholesale in one book
The day's counter sales go in as one daily entry or sales receipt. Wholesale customers get invoices on terms, and the A/R aging shows who still owes for last week's bread.
Standing orders bill themselves
Memorise a customer's regular order as an invoice and set it to repeat weekly or monthly. It is created on schedule, ready to adjust if the order changed.
Ingredient cost against sales
Flour, butter, coffee and packaging bills go to their own cost accounts. The P&L by month shows your cost of ingredients next to your sales.
Wholesale invoices on terms, repeating weekly.
The bread is out by six. The books can be done by seven.
Close the till, enter the totals and the tips, and the day is in the books. Card settlements land in the bank and match when you import the statement.
Every week, the standing invoices go to your wholesale accounts and the payments are applied as they come in.

Questions people ask
Before you download
Can I bill wholesale customers every week automatically?
Yes. Memorise the invoice and set it to repeat weekly. It is created on its date and can be edited before you send it.
Does it work with my till?
It does not connect to one. Enter the till's end-of-day totals, which takes a minute.
Can I see what my ingredients cost?
At the account level, yes: ingredient and packaging bills go to cost accounts, shown against sales on the P&L. It does not cost individual recipes.
