Bakeries & Patisseries
From oven to display — fully labelled

Bakeries and patisseries face some of the strictest food labelling requirements in the UK. Since Natasha's Law, every item that's prepared on-site and packaged before sale (cakes, pastries, sandwiches, cookies) must carry a full allergen label. For bakeries producing hundreds of items daily, this is a significant operational challenge.

The traditional approach is unsustainable. Staff write labels by hand, photocopy allergen lists, and try to keep up with seasonal specials that change the allergen profile of every product. When an ingredient supplier changes, updating every handwritten label becomes near impossible. The risk of error grows with every new product line.

LabelFood solves this at the source. Your product catalogue, covering every cake, pastry, bread, and sandwich you make, lives in the cloud with its own allergen profile. When staff need a label, they scan the barcode and it prints automatically: product name, all 14 allergens highlighted, use-by date, batch code, and a QR code. No handwriting, no guesswork.

For morning prep, the busiest time in any bakery, batch print handles the volume. Select the products being baked today, set quantities, and the device prints all labels in sequence. Your display cabinet, grab-and-go section, and wholesale orders are labelled and compliant before the shop opens.

Seasonal and custom products are easy to manage. Add a new Christmas cake or Easter special from the cloud dashboard in seconds: set the name, allergens, and shelf life, and it's immediately available to print on every paired device. Wedding cakes and bespoke orders get their own product entries with specific allergen profiles and batch codes for traceability.

Display cabinet labels serve double duty. Customers see allergens clearly at a glance, and the QR code gives them full ingredient details on their phone. This reduces the repetitive allergen questions your counter staff deal with every day, freeing them to serve customers faster.

Waste tracking helps you run a tighter operation. Record unsold items, expired products, and production waste by reason. The cloud dashboard shows trends over time, including which products waste most and which days are worst, so you can adjust production quantities and reduce costs.

The device works fully offline, which matters in bakeries where WiFi can be patchy. Labels print and waste records are stored locally, then sync to the cloud when connectivity returns. Staff PIN protection and a full audit trail keep you inspection-ready for every EHO visit.
