How a bakery & sweet shop runs on Alfa Decode
A cafe and bakery lives in two worlds at once: a fast front counter selling coffees, slices and takeaway boxes, and a back kitchen baking to par levels off perishable stock. Alfa Decode runs both on one system. The Food Service engine gives you counter billing with modifiers (oat milk, extra shot, no sugar), dine-in table plans, takeaway and delivery, and KOT tickets that fire straight to the kitchen or display screen so nothing is lost between the till and the oven.
Behind the counter it keeps the discipline an owner needs: batch and expiry tracking with FEFO so today's cream and fresh bakes sell before they spoil, recipe and food-costing so you know the true cost of each cake and latte, and weighted-average cost on flour, butter and coffee as prices move. It works offline through a morning rush and syncs when the line is back, and every sale is GST or VAT-ready.
- Fewer spoilage losses through FEFO batch and expiry control
- Exact custom orders reach the kitchen with no lost slips
- True per-item cost on every cake, loaf and coffee
- Keeps billing through the rush even when the internet drops

Bakery & Sweet Shop software — your questions
Will billing keep working if my internet goes down?
Yes. Alfa Decode is local-first and runs on your own counter device with no internet needed. You can bill all day during an outage, and every sale syncs to the cloud automatically once you reconnect.
Does it handle GST in India and VAT in the UAE?
Yes. GST invoices and reports for India and VAT for the UAE are built in. Every counter receipt is tax-correct, and the tax reports are ready for your filing, with no separate setup needed.
Is this suited to a counter shop with no table service?
Yes. The bakery and sweet shop setup is a quick counter POS with a favourites tap-board, menu and stock, and fast GST receipts. There are no tables or kitchen tickets to manage.
Can I take part-cash, part-card payments and send the bill on WhatsApp?
Yes. You can split a single payment across cash and card, then print the receipt at the counter or send it to the customer over WhatsApp directly from the bill.
Do I have to buy a subscription, or can I own it outright?
Both come from one codebase. Choose Cloud as a subscription, or On-Premise as a one-time licence with AMC. You keep your data either way, and a white-label option is available.
Can I run more than one shop on it?
Yes. Each outlet bills on its own counter, and an Executive multi-store dashboard rolls every branch into one view, backed by double-entry accounts, finance and staff records.
Can it handle both dine-in tables and a grab-and-go counter?
Yes. The Food Service engine runs a dine-in table plan alongside fast takeaway and delivery billing, so a seated brunch order and a queue of coffees are handled on the same till without switching systems.
Does it track ingredient stock and shelf life for perishables?
It tracks flour, dairy, cream and coffee as inventory with goods-receipt notes, reorder alerts and stock-takes, plus batch and expiry with FEFO so short-dated and fresh items are flagged to sell first.
Can I see what each menu item actually costs me?
Yes. Recipe and food-costing links each drink and bake to its ingredients, and weighted-average cost keeps those figures current as your purchase prices change through the year.
Will it work if the internet goes down mid-rush?
It is offline-first. The till keeps taking orders, firing KOTs and printing receipts with no connection, then syncs everything to the cloud automatically once you are back online.
