The problem
Cottage food businesses are growing quickly, but their software choices are usually designed for full-scale restaurants or little more than a form and spreadsheet. Home bakers need tools for made-to-order products, local delivery, seasonal menus, capacity limits, and the financial work behind the business.
The solution
KneadIt is a multi-tenant SaaS platform built specifically for cottage food bakers. Each baker gets a branded storefront on a custom subdomain, a dedicated admin workspace, and workflows that reflect how a home bakery actually operates.
Highlights
- Customizable storefronts with four themes and optional website-only mode
- Order management, PayPal invoicing, reminders, delivery planning, and route optimization
- Customer directory, reviews, coupons, expenses, income, and recipe cost calculations
- Weekly prep planning, order calendars, holiday lead-time warnings, and configurable dashboards
- Database-per-tenant architecture with Stancl Tenancy
- Stripe subscriptions through Laravel Cashier and three plans with a 30-day trial
The result
KneadIt gives home bakers one system for running the business behind the products they make. The architecture separates platform operations from each bakery's data while leaving room for storefronts and workflows to grow with the baker.
