Selling from home shouldn't mean guessing

Cottage food rules live in long state documents, and they differ from one state to the next. What can you sell? Can you ship it? What has to go on the label? How much can you earn before the rules change? Most home bakers piece the answers together from forum threads and hope they got it right.

How it works

Three steps to a business you can run with confidence

  1. 1

    Pick your state

    Bakewise lays out your state's cottage food rules in plain English: what you can sell, who and where you can sell to, how you can deliver and your revenue cap.

  2. 2

    Add your products

    List each product's ingredients. Bakewise checks them against your state's rules and explains any problem in plain words.

  3. 3

    Print labels, take orders and share your storefront

    Print labels built from the elements your state requires, log orders and follow each one through to payment, and show customers what you bake on your own storefront.

Stay compliant

The rules, in one place, in plain English

Bakewise covers the cottage food rules of every US state. It lays out what your state allows, checks each of your products against those rules and builds your labels from the elements your state requires: your business details, ingredients, allergens, net weight and the cottage food statement.

  • Every US state
  • Product-by-product check
  • Labels from your state’s requirements
  • Revenue cap tracking

Bakewise summarizes published state rules. It is not legal advice. Always verify with your state authority.

Run your bakery

Pantry, products, orders and customers, together

Add your ingredients once and Bakewise keeps your stock up to date as orders go into production, with an alert when something runs low. See what each product costs to make and whether its price hits your target margin. Log orders in seconds, follow each one from placed to delivered and record Venmo, Zelle or cash payments, including deposits.

  • Pantry with restock alerts
  • Cost and margin per product
  • Orders and payments
  • Customer history and notes
Sell online

Your own storefront, in your own style

Design a storefront that looks like your bakery, with your products, photos and prices drawn straight from Bakewise, then share it with your customers. They reach you through your own contact links: WhatsApp, text, email or Instagram.

  • Your design, your photos
  • Home page and product pages
  • Always your current products and prices
  • Easy to share

Publishing a storefront is part of the Run & Sell plan.

At a glance

Your whole business on one screen

See your open orders, deliveries still waiting for payment, restock alerts and how close you are to your state's revenue cap, so nothing quietly slips.

Why we’re building this

We built this for one baker first

My wife bakes. I handle the tech, the paperwork and the legal reading. That is how I ended up spending evenings in state PDFs trying to work out what she was actually allowed to sell, whether she could ship it and what had to go on the label. She wanted to bake. Instead she was guessing, and worrying she’d got it wrong.

Bakewise is what I built so she could stop guessing. Every part of it started as something she needed on an actual Saturday morning, with orders to fill and forty cookies in the oven. If it doesn't help then, it doesn't ship.
