Thank you so much for joining Bake Boost. Over the past four weeks, we’ve had the privilege of speaking with and chatting directly with many of you. We sincerely appreciate your openness in sharing what you’re going through, especially in light of the unexpected shutdown of Bake Diary.
We want you to know that we hear you and are taking action.
Several features you’ve mentioned, such as a custom inquiry form and payment integration with Square, have been prioritized and are already underway. Several other improvements are also being implemented, and we’re committed to rolling out helpful updates as quickly as possible.
- To support your transition, we’re extending the free trial period from 14 days to one month, until June 15. (You don’t need to take any action)
- Till 15 June, Standard & Premium have the same features, so whichever category it shows you in your Subscription Profile, you have access to all the features.
- Update, June 16: If anyone wants to have extensions to the Trial, please message us at support@bakeboost.com
This gives you more time to explore, test, and decide without pressure if Bake Boost fits your business.
We also understand that Bake Boost may not yet include all the features you were using.
If you have any specific Feature requirements, please share with us over here (we have over 50 submissions; thank you!)

Due to the rapid pace of updates and feature rollouts, you may occasionally encounter bugs or unexpected issues. We appreciate your patience as we continue to refine the platform. Your feedback is very much appreciated, and we ask for time to stabilize and streamline everyone’s experience.
New features/updates are being moved to the live application asap

The initial version has been released and is now available under the e-commerce tab.
Still, a few improvements (convert to order) need to be made, which will be done by 24th June
2- Payment Integration via Invoice with Square and Email Notifications.
Update the invoice with Terms & Conditions, Images, etc
80% of the Development is done. This is delayed. We are working on it, and it requires more time. It is delayed due to other priority areas.

5 – Old master data migration (Customers, ingredients, products, etc.)
You download your data from the existing application in the CSV format
Transactional data, such as all your existing orders, is challenging to import into any other application, as each new application will have a different data structure. This is a very well-known fact in the IT industry.
Please have your data in Excel or CSV format, properly cleaned.
Our Target solution is to provide you with the option to import master data from Excel/CSV templates, making it available to everyone and allowing them to organize their data for import into Bake Boost.
We can talk about any additional data requirements with you on a case-by-case basis.
Import of Contacts/Customers is ready as of 29th May, and you can use it to upload your contacts
From the Order Form, you will have the below form and ‘Download Sample’, which will give you the CSV file to be filled with your data and then upload it to the same file. Don’t change the column name and the position of the columns
Ingredients and Recipe Upload feature development is in progress
6 – Expenses, Mileage Track
It will be taken after the above priority areas. Expected to start the development after the 25th of June

Due to rapid changes, all the existing reports need fixes, and New reports need to be developed & improved.
We will focus on this at the end of June.

Are inquiries from potential clients only taken via WhatsApp?

Currently, Orders can be created from
- Custom orders form, equal to your enquiry form (dedicated form of every cake shop)
- From the e-commerce page (dedicated page of every cake shop)
- POS
- From WhatsApp directly in the application (Inquiry or create an Order from the whatsapp info)
How will I get a one-month free trial?
We are extending the Premium plan from 14 days to 1 month for FREE until June 15th. There is no automation in place, so you don’t need to take any action; we will manage it. You will all receive a 1-month free trial. Just sign up and start using it.
There are no restrictions on any feature in the Standard or Premium Plan till June 15th, so whatever plan it shows you in your Subscription Profile, you have all the features.
