Bake what sells
Pre-orders before the oven's even on.
Know what's needed before you start. Pre-orders mean less waste, happier regulars, and mornings that run smoother.
The morning rush problem
You bake based on guesswork. Regulars miss out on their favourites. Phone orders interrupt service. There's a better way.
Baking blind
You bake what you think will sell. Some days you're right. Some days the sourdough sits and the sausage rolls run out by 9am.
Interruptions all day
Custom cake orders, collection times, "do you have any croissants left?" Phone ringing while you're serving the counter.
Sold out again
Your best customers come in and their favourite is gone. They can't reserve ahead. They just have to hope.
Bakeries run on rhythm. Pre-orders help you plan ahead.
Pre-orders change how you bake
See tomorrow's orders tonight. Bake with confidence. Give regulars a way to guarantee what they want.
Flexible scheduling windows
Disable ASAP orders entirely and accept pre-orders only. Set your window—orders from tomorrow for the next 3 days, for example. Customers plan ahead, you bake to order.
Variants and options
Sizes, flavours, decorations, messages. Handle custom cakes with proper options instead of phone calls and sticky notes.
Customer accounts
Regulars save their details. They reorder quickly. You see their history and preferences.

No commission on orders. Pay the same whether you take 10 pre-orders or 100. Simple, predictable pricing.

Common questions
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card required to start.
Are there any per-order commissions?
No. TypeMenu charges a flat monthly subscription with zero commission on your orders. The only additional cost is standard card processing fees from your payment provider — Stripe is built in with simple onboarding, and if you use Square POS, payments go through Square instead. Either way, the fees go to your payment provider, not to us.
Will my customers actually use it instead of Just Eat or Deliveroo?
TypeMenu isn't about replacing aggregators — it's about giving your existing customers a better way to order directly from you. Customers who already know your bakery don't need a marketplace to find you. A direct link, QR code, or social media post is all it takes to shift repeat orders away from platforms that take 25%+ of every sale.
Can I use this alongside Just Eat or Deliveroo?
Absolutely. Most of our customers run both. Aggregators are great for discovery and reaching new customers. TypeMenu is for converting those customers into direct, commission-free repeat orders. The two work well side by side.
Do you provide delivery drivers?
No. TypeMenu is an ordering platform, not a logistics company. You handle your own deliveries or offer collection — which means you stay in control of the customer experience and don't pay rider fees.
Do I need technical skills to set up my bakery online?
No technical skills required. TypeMenu is designed to be set up by anyone. Most businesses are live within 30–60 minutes, and we're happy to help if you need onboarding support.
Do I need any special hardware?
No. Everything runs in the browser — your dashboard, kitchen display, and your customers' storefront. Any phone, tablet, or computer you already have will work.
What happens to my customer data?
Your data is always yours. You can export customers, orders, and reports at any time. We never sell or share your data, and we're fully GDPR compliant.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. There are no contracts and no cancellation fees. You can cancel directly from your dashboard at any time. Your storefront stays active until the end of your billing period.
