Built by a cottage bakerRun daily cottage food operations with a Today dashboard, fulfillment board, calendar sync, occurrence inventory alerts, customer and product exports, category management, customer notes, recipe costing, and event-level analytics.
Full feature detail
Get a complete overview of your business schedule in one place. The calendar dashboard shows orders, availability windows, and blocked dates in monthly or agenda views. Filter by location, event type, and date range to stay organized and never miss an order.
The Today view reduces dashboard hunting by collecting the most time-sensitive work in one place. See upcoming orders and fulfillment details alongside operational signals so the next action is clear when production starts.
Turn the order queue into a visual production workflow. Group and move orders by fulfillment status so everyone can see what is new, in progress, ready for pickup or delivery, and complete.
Catch inventory pressure where it matters: inside the exact preorder window or event occurrence that is selling down. Operators can respond before a capped category or product unexpectedly blocks customer orders.
Bring Cottage CMS dates into the calendar you already check. A subscribable calendar feed keeps order and availability commitments visible alongside the rest of your schedule without duplicate manual entry.
Keep your business data portable with structured customer and product exports. Use the files for offline analysis, operational handoffs, or records outside Cottage CMS without copying information one row at a time.
Keep a growing catalog easy to browse by managing its category structure in one place. Operators can organize how products are grouped and presented without editing every product just to change storefront navigation.
Replace repeated password entry with a passkey protected by the device you already use. Passkeys improve account security while making routine access to the business dashboard faster.
Import customers from CSV while preserving existing unsubscribe records and avoiding unsafe merges. Map email, phone, text consent, extra fields, and loyalty point balances; imported email customers can initialize newsletter and notification preferences from the same customer record.
Understand what is working across revenue by event, payment fees, order sources, top products, page views, and conversion behavior. Connect Google Analytics and Meta Pixel for broader attribution, then use event-level reporting to compare markets, drops, and recurring sales.
Know exactly what each product costs to make. Track ingredient prices and package sizes in your pantry, then build recipes with automatic cost calculation. Get pricing recommendations based on your costs and market data to ensure healthy profit margins.
Stay on top of your business with push notifications delivered directly to your phone or desktop. Get alerted instantly for new orders, customer messages, low inventory, and more — even when you're not looking at your dashboard.
Present a professional image with a dedicated business email address. Send and receive emails directly from your dashboard with your business identity. Keep your personal inbox separate while maintaining organized business communications.
Keep the domain-branded business inbox more useful with safeguards around inbound messages. Sender checks and spam controls reduce noise and make it easier to focus on legitimate customer communication.
