About Kawsty

Kawsty is a management platform for independent bakeries and similar food shops. It brings recipe costing, ingredient tracking, production scheduling, labor and waste reporting into one web app, so owners can see the true cost and margin of each item instead of working from spreadsheets and estimates.

A Pulse dashboard shows totals for a chosen period next to cost of goods, labor, waste, profit and a daily break-even figure. Recipe costing recalculates when an ingredient price changes, and a per-item view shows the cost of something like a loaf or a bagel. Production scheduling builds the day around expected demand, while a staff view tracks who is clocked in and the labor cost of each shift.

Waste and inventory tools trace losses back to a recipe, a shift or a decision. Kawsty also offers an interactive demo on its homepage so you can explore sample data before signing up. It is a hosted service built for shop owners and managers rather than larger multi-site operations.
