Take tomorrow’s orders tonight
Your own app and ordering website, connected to Square. Customers order the cake, the dozen or the catering tray days ahead, with the note they want on it, and pick it up when you said it would be ready.
A bakery already on Gegsy
The order book, without the phone ringing all morning
Bakery orders come in days ahead: the birthday cake for Saturday, three dozen cookies for the office on Monday. Most of them still arrive as a phone call, written on a pad and re-keyed into the register.
In your app and on your website, customers place them themselves. They pick the day, add the note for the cake, and pay up front, and the order reaches Square ready for the morning it’s due.
Sweet Cakes Bakery runs its pastries, coffee and the rest of its menu this way, on the Square account it already had.
Built for the way bakeries take orders
Every order has a real pickup time, set up the way your kitchen actually works.
Orders days ahead
Allow future orders and set how many days ahead customers can book, so Saturday’s cakes are in the book by Wednesday.
The note on the cake
Item notes let customers add “Happy birthday, Maya” or “no nuts, please” to the item itself, so it reaches whoever is decorating.
Closed for the holidays
Close a location for holidays or vacations, set to repeat every year if you like. Customers can’t pick those dates.
Catering with notice
Set the lead time and minimum for catering trays, so a 100-cookie order can’t land for tomorrow morning.
Ship the cookies
Send shelf-stable treats anywhere in the country with nationwide shipping (Pro), with carrier rates at checkout.
Gift cards for the regulars
Sell gift cards in your app and online, and let customers preload a store card, all on your Square account.
Bring them back between birthdays
A cake order is once or twice a year. The croissant and coffee on the way to work can be every day, if they remember you.
Every app order adds that customer to your list. Put the weekend special on their home screen, send a push notification when the cinnamon rolls come out, and give them points every visit. Campaigns with audiences and scheduling are on Pro.
Customers pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay in a tap, on the Square account you already run.

Yes, on Pro. Mark which items can ship, and customers see carrier rates at checkout. Pickup and delivery keep working alongside it.
Your ordering website can go live as soon as Square is connected. Most bakeries have their app in the stores in about a week, and app store review is usually the longest step.
