Six months of full platform access. No cost. One ask: work with us to make it right.
The Cloud Bakery® handles HACCP, costing, allergen labels, and traceability — in one place, designed for how bakeries actually work. We are selecting 5 founding bakeries.
Apply for a Founding Place5 places only. UK bakeries only. No payment required.
The Problem
Your HACCP records are paper-based, incomplete, and you know it. An EHO visit on the wrong morning is a problem.
You price products by feel or by competitor comparison. You do not know for certain which lines actually make money.
Your allergen labels were accurate when you wrote them. But that was before you changed suppliers last month.
We built the system that solves all three. Now we need five bakeries to put it through its paces.
The Offer
Most bakeries spend less than 10 minutes per day once set up.
This is not a free trial. It is a partnership with mutual obligations. We select bakeries carefully, and we expect active participation in return. If that is not the right fit right now, no hard feelings.
The Founder
My name is Mikey Koszo. I spent more than 20 years as a head baker in UK production kitchens — early mornings, EHO visits, allergen panics, the constant guesswork of recipe costing.
I built this platform because I needed it and it did not exist. Every screen was designed around the way bakeries actually work — not the way a developer imagined they work.
The Founding Bakery Programme exists because I want the first cohort to be the people who help make it right. Not just the first people who clicked a link.

Built from real production kitchens. Now opening to its first 5 external bakeries.
This is either exactly what you have been looking for — or it is not.
If your bakery is dealing with any of the problems above, it is worth a conversation.

The Platform
True cost-per-unit based on actual yield and wastage — not purchase weight. Ingredients, labour, packaging, overhead, and target margin in one calculation.
Daily checks logged digitally. Temperature records timestamped and stored. Full audit trail exportable in one click. Designed for a 5-star rating, not paperwork panic.
Natasha's Law / PPDS-compliant labels generated directly from recipe versions. Automatic flagging when an ingredient change affects allergen status.
Lot-level tracking from supplier delivery through production to customer — Article 18 compliant. If you ever need to trace a batch, it takes seconds, not a morning.
HMRC-compliant invoices with correct food VAT treatment — including mixed-rate lines. MTD-ready export. Built for the complexity of selling food in the UK.
Wholesale order management, delivery route planning, and proof of delivery — in the same system as everything else.
