Give customers one current menu
Categories can organise cakes, baked goods, hampers or ready-to-order items. Clear images, descriptions and prices reduce repeated questions and make the ordering process easier to understand.
The storefront can be shared from social profiles and messages while remaining controlled by the business.
Keep limited items understandable
Inventory can represent packaged products or items the business chooses to track. The merchant remains responsible for production capacity, lead time and any made-to-order confirmation that is not represented as stock.
Coupons can support a percentage, flat or Buy X Get Y offer when the campaign matches the catalogue.
Keep the order and bill together
Cash-on-delivery orders enter the same operational list used to accept, pack, ship and deliver. Customer and invoice records preserve the resulting transaction.
- Shareable product catalogue
- Categories and images
- COD order lifecycle
- Coupons and customer records
How to set up a bakery or home-food business in vkRetA
Create menu categories
Group items into categories such as cakes, cookies, snacks, meals or festive hampers.
Add items with photos and prices
Add each item with a photo, price and description. Use variants for sizes such as half kg and one kg, each with its own price.
Decide how to use stock
Track stock for packaged items, and set a quantity that reflects what you can make for made-to-order items. Turn items off when they are unavailable.
Publish and share the menu link
Publish on your vkreta.in subdomain and share one link in chats and social profiles instead of sending the menu image again.
Manage cash-on-delivery orders
Accept, pack and deliver each order, and the invoice and customer record are created from the same workflow.
Useful for kitchens and home-food businesses
Cloud kitchens
Publish a current menu, receive orders on your own website and keep a customer list, while delivery stays with your own team or courier.
Home bakers
Show cake sizes and prices clearly and keep each order in a list rather than in personal chats.
Festive and seasonal items
Add seasonal items and coupons with start and end dates, then switch them off after the season.
Regular customers
See who orders often. On Pro, the Reward Wallet and referral partners help reward repeat and referred customers.
