This is one recipe. OvenBooks tracks every batch and turns it into tax-ready reports.

Everything, per batch

Numbers you can act on

Per-batch recipe costing

Log ingredients once, then scale any recipe by baker's percentage or batch size. Grams-first, math handled for you.

True cost of goods

Ingredients, labor, packaging and overhead: the real cost per unit, not just the flour and sugar.

Price advisor

Get a suggested price for your target margin, and see it against what you actually charge, so you stop underpricing.

Tax-ready COGS export

Export a date-range, Schedule-C-ready COGS report with accountant-friendly columns in one click.

Margins over time

Every batch saves its costs at the time you baked it, so you can watch ingredient costs and margins trend month to month.

Inventory & low-stock

Track stock as you bake, log spoilage and corrections, and get low-stock alerts before market day.

The cost of guessing

It pays for itself in a week

Underpricing quietly drains small bakeries. Catch it once and OvenBooks has more than paid for the year.

#1

Underpricing is the most common, and most damaging, mistake small food businesses make.

$5.50

Lost on every dozen cookies a baker sells at $10, once labor and packaging are counted.

4 costs

True cost = ingredients + labor + packaging + overhead. Most vendors track only ingredients, so they underprice everything.

Industry benchmarks suggest a 10% price increase or 20% cost cut can double a bakery's profit.

OvenBooks Cottage costs 5 loaves a month. Fix one mispriced product and it pays for itself: the easiest money you'll make all year.
