"In
the last year BakeSmart has become the keystone
to our operation. It
gives us the ability to take orders locally, over the internet,
or remotely at any of our four retail locations while instantaneously
viewing them across town at our production facility. This
allows us to let the computer do the work of tabulating baking
charts, inventories, and work schedules.
We no longer are
burdened by hand-written, paper tickets that have to be filed,
altered, and retrieved at pickup. The POS system, in addition
to processing sales, links each cake ticket to a transaction
while reporting who gave out the cake, what money was taken,
and when they picked it up.
All this in a searchable, customizable, & secure
structure that can quickly give you all the information
you desire about your sales (and salespeople)!"
I
cannot imagine further expanding our business without the
power of BakeSmart, and the assistance of the Legacy staff. |

We had a home grown POS system since 1983
and as I neared retirement our company sought an integrated
POS system with production tracking capability. We tried
the industry’s oldest computer data packing company for
two years but they could never resolve their data and program
problems.
It made us gun-shy of any baking industry program
so we tried other POS systems that didn’t work. It
took two more years of listening to my fellow bakers who touted
Bakesmart to finally make up my mind.
Bakesmart
has addressed every concern we’ve had and helped to make our system
function far beyond any we’ve seen or tried. Thank
you Bakesmart for your cutting edge programs and super service! |

"BakeSmart
has been a good addition for our business. The
foundation of the program is logical and easy to work
with. The creators of BakeSmart, Legacy USA, have
built a program for today's business with the flexibility
to take us into the future. They are open to improvements
and have reacted rapidly (minutes, not hours) when needed.
I
believe BakeSmart is like my Hobart Mixer....strong
enough to last, easy to operate, and designed to handle
the growth of my business." |

"We
had never run a POS system before and looking at this
system was daunting. We needed to make the move but I
was fearful that it would take too much time. We talked
with Mike and he walked us through how easy it was so
we took the leap. That was February it has been the best
move we have ever made. It does take some time to get
in at first and the first couple of days seemed like
a fog but I had a full grasp of it by the third day.
That had never happened with any software before. I then
flew through the entry of our data. It is by far
the most complete system on the market and I highly recommend
it.
It
is a wonderful system and we couldn't live without
it." |

"I
have used or reviewed most of the POS software available
to the Bakery & Restaurant industry and have not
found any software designed specifically for bakeries
that really works. Most are skewed to a quick-service
restaurant format which does not work well in a bakery
environment. The bakery software was worse.
BakeSmart
is the most user-friendly POS software we have used
in terms of the cashier, the back office and installation.
It customizes so well to the various types of products
in a bakery deli-café environment in each of
our five stores. It is fast and takes very little time
to learn. The Customer Orders and Custom Cakes modules
integrate excellently to allow you the total Order-POS
solution... something desperately needed in
the baking industry.
I would
recommend anyone needing to upgrade their POS system
to make the decision to go with BakeSmart!" |

It has been
a pleasure to use Bakesmart. The POS portion of the software is just the beginning
of of it's benefits to us. We began with a restaurant
version POS software and really struggled with
problems that ultimately became unbearable.
We began using Bakesmart at the busiest time
of the year and are pleased with virtually every
aspect.
Oakmont Bakery experienced a 14%
increase in sales over last year and are confident going into 2008 with
BakeSmart Software that will continue to make
us more efficient in calculating sales projections and
production scheduling.
I appreciate the time that the BakeSmart people have
put spent with our office/tech person making sure that Bakesmart
is tailored to meet the needs of Oakmont Bakery.
I'm pleased that when we decided to choose new
software, we took the time to make
the perfect choice. |

Thanks for all your company has
done for us!
We have used other Bakery POS systems and
the BakeSmart system has become an "all
in one" program for us! From our
in house POS to our web site we
have been very pleased.
Today we live in a very "high tech and high paced
world". BakeSmart, with their help, has
allowed us to develop a significant online presence that
has allowed us to keep up with technology.
The opportunity for our customers to order
online at their convenience saves us time,
saves them time and also eliminates human error in
the order taking process.
The BakeSmart team has stood behind their product
and is always there to assist us.
Thanks BakeSmart! |

Ray, I Would like to take the
time to thank you for the promise that you kept when
I purchased Bakesmart 2 years ago.
Not only did I get all the improvements that
I asked for I received so many more and I am thrilled.
I had a competing product for 12 years and never got
so many improvements in that time period.
Both
my locations can now be updated from one centralized
place, updating products and pricing was
never so easy.
I can't say enough about the ease of setting
up custom cake orders. I was never able
to do it in 12 years with another bakery software
program, but it only took 2 days with your system. You
and your staff at Bakesmart are doing a tremendous
job, keep up the good work and enhancements.
Can't wait to see the next upgrade.
Thank you,
Vinny

Sabina, Peter and I want to thank you so
much for dropping everything this afternoon to help us
in our hour of need!
We couldn’t possibly have gotten the tills up and
running without your help, and you saved us at least
half a day’s sales because of your
dedication to providing excellent customer service, as well as an excellent
product.
We continue to be happy with our decision to
purchase a Bakesmart system due to the excellent product,
and more importantly, to the excellent support we receive
from you and your team.
Thanks again. It would have been a pretty tough
day around here without your help.
All the best,

We had been looking for a bakery
software program for our bakery for quite a while.
Trying to find a program that fit our needs and style
was not easy because all of the programs that we looked
at had some good points but none of them were able
to fit our needs.
Then we looked at Bakesmart. With the ease of use and
the ability to customize it to our needs, Bakesmart fit
our needs.
Bakesmart could help us immediately
and it can grow with our business.
This was our first Point of Sale system and we were
little apprehensive, but Mike of BakeSmart was able to
help us get started.
This system is giving us the information we need the ability to run our bakery
more efficiently.
BakeSmart only gets better with time.
