TripleBill for Bakery
Bakery Billing Software for the Counter and Cake Orders
A bakery runs two businesses from one shop. The counter sells bread, puffs and pastries all day, often with a few café tables or a takeaway queue. Behind it, cake orders are booked days ahead with a size, a message and an advance. TripleBill handles both: quick counter bills, orders with a delivery date, and the GST books underneath.

What gets in the way
- Cake orders written in a register, with the advance remembered only by whoever took it
- The same cake sold in half-kilo, one-kilo and two-kilo sizes at different prices
- Puffs and pastries with no barcode, priced from memory in the rush
- A café corner where tea and sandwich orders need to reach the kitchen
- Fresh items made every morning with no record of what was baked against what sold
Restaurant mode, with the shop counter kept
TripleBill treats a bakery as a food business. Choose Restaurant / Café when you sign up, or later go to Settings → Business type and choose "Both — shop and restaurant". Both keeps the ordinary retail counter for packaged biscuits, bread and anything with a barcode, and adds the restaurant screen beside it.
Restaurant mode gives you a menu with categories, item sizes with their own price, add-on groups with prices (eggless, extra cream, a candle set), combos, takeaway and dine-in orders with day tokens, KOTs to a kitchen station, and QR ordering from the table if you have seating. Restaurant reports show sales by menu category and the dine-in / takeaway / delivery mix.
- "Both" mode: the retail counter plus the restaurant screen
- Sizes with their own price
- Add-on groups with prices
- Takeaway tokens and KOT to the kitchen
- Sales by menu category report
Cake orders with the date, the size and the advance
Book a custom cake as a sale order for the customer: the cake and its size, the flavour and message in the notes, the expected delivery date and the advance taken. The printed order shows the advance and the balance due, so the customer leaves with a slip and the kitchen can see what is due on which day.
When the cake is collected, convert the order into an invoice and record the payment on it; GST is worked out and the order is closed. The sale orders list shows which orders are still open. For a party or office order you can send a quotation first and convert it once it is accepted.
- Sale orders with an expected delivery date
- Advance and balance due printed on the order
- Order converted into a GST invoice on collection
- Quotations for party and office orders
A counter for bread, puffs and pastries
Unbarcoded items sit on photo tiles that you can filter by category, so a cashier taps four veg puffs instead of searching for them. Packaged items scan with a USB scanner or the phone camera. Bills print on 58 or 80 mm receipts with a UPI QR for the amount, and cash, UPI and card can be split on one bill.
Items sold by weight, such as rusk, cookies or cake by the slab, can use kg or g as the unit with quantities to three decimals. Each item carries its own HSN code and GST rate, so a bill mixing bread, cakes and packaged snacks works out tax line by line.
- Photo tiles filtered by category
- Barcode scanning for packaged goods
- Sell by kg or g with three-decimal quantities
- HSN code and GST rate per item
- Thermal receipts with a UPI QR
What was baked, what sold, what it earned
Add each morning’s production to stock as an adjustment with a reason, and sales take it down through the day. The stock movement report then shows what was made against what went out, and profit by product shows which lines earn, worked from the cost price you set on each item. Flour, sugar and butter bought from suppliers go in as purchase bills, and gas, wages and rent as expenses.
TripleBill does not break a cake down into its ingredients, so flour and butter are not reduced when a cake is sold. Keep them as raw-material items you adjust when you use them, or simply as purchases.
- Production added as stock adjustments with reasons
- Stock movement and profit by product reports
- Purchase bills for raw material
- Expenses for gas, wages and rent
Bakery: what you need and how TripleBill does it

GST and the books, done underneath
Every bill posts to real double-entry books as you sell: sales, GST output tax, cash, bank and the customer ledger. Purchases do the same on the input side, so GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and the HSN summary are ready for any month and your accountant gets a trial balance that balances.
Not built yet
We would rather you know before you sign up:
- Recipe-level inventory: flour, sugar and butter are not reduced automatically when a cake or loaf is sold
- Shelf-life or use-by tracking for fresh items; batch and expiry tracking is built for pharmacy mode only
- The advance on a cake order is noted on the order and printed, but it reaches the books only when the order is invoiced
- Zomato / Swiggy integration; orders from those apps are keyed in by hand

Frequently asked questions
Do I need restaurant mode for a bakery?
Not if you only sell over the counter; the retail POS is enough. Restaurant mode, part of the Pro plan, adds item sizes, add-ons, combos, takeaway tokens and KOT to the kitchen. Choosing "Both" under Settings → Business type keeps the retail counter alongside it.
How do I handle a cake order with an advance?
Create a sale order with the cake, the delivery date and the advance. The printed order shows the balance due. When the cake is collected, convert the order into an invoice and record the payment there.
Can the same cake have different sizes and prices?
Yes. In restaurant mode an item can have sizes, such as half kg and one kg, each with its own price. On the retail counter, set up each size as its own item.
Can I sell cookies and rusk by weight?
Yes. Set the unit to kg or g and type the weight as the quantity, to three decimals. There is no link to a weighing scale yet, so the weight is typed in.
Does it work if the internet goes down?
The Windows app works fully offline with local backups, and the Android app keeps billing offline and syncs sales when back online. The web app needs internet.
Can customers order from my bakery online?
You can publish your items as an online store at a shareable link, and orders placed there become invoices. If you have seating, a QR code on each table opens your menu so guests can order from their phone.

Starter (₹299/month, ₹2,999/year or ₹6,999 for 3 years) covers counter billing and stock, GST reports, purchases, barcode labels and the books.
