Getting started
From a blank account to a working bakery: sign up, answer three questions, and start costing. Here's what each step actually does.
Create your account
Sign up at my.butterbase.app with your email and a password. New accounts go straight into bakery setup.
Set up your bakery
Setup is three short steps, and nothing in it is permanent:
- Your bakery. Name it, pick your currency, and choose metric or imperial units. Your currency is used for every price and cost. The unit choice sets the default unit for new items; you can still pick any unit on each item.
- How you sell. Pick what applies — Markets & popups, Custom orders, or Wholesale. In the phone app, choosing markets puts the market till within easy reach. Every channel stays available on the web and the phone, whatever you pick.
- Done. You land on your dashboard.
Your first costed recipe
Head to Recipes and create one: name, category, what it yields, and the ingredient lines. Ingredient lines pull cost from your inventory items automatically — or take a manual amount if you haven't stocked the pantry yet. The full mechanics live in Costing & recipes.
A practical order of operations: add your core ingredients in Inventory first (with a purchase price), then build recipes on top — costs fill themselves in.
Invite your team
From Settings → Team, invite by email and choose a role — Admin or Member (you're the Owner). The invite link lands in their inbox; if they don't have an account yet, they create one and the invitation follows them through sign-up.
Team members and roles are free on every plan. See Billing & plans for what Pro adds.
