A POS system designed for bakeries and pastry shops in Port-au-Prince, helping businesses control ingredient usage, manage custom orders, and handle morning and evening rushes efficiently from a single dashboard.

## Problems We Solve

- **Bake Too Much and Bin It, Bake Too Little and Sell Out** — Every morning is a gamble. Bake too much and the unsold loaves and pastries go in the bin at close; bake too little and you are turning customers away by 11am. Without yesterday's numbers and a clear view of what actually sells on a quiet Tuesday versus a busy Saturday, you are guessing with fresh ingredients and real money every single day.
- **You Do Not Know What a Cake Actually Costs to Make** — Flour, butter, sugar, eggs, gas, icing, packaging — without costing each recipe, you price your cakes and breads on feel and hope there is margin left at the end. When ingredient prices jump, you only find out at month-end that your bestseller has quietly been barely breaking even.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- Sales history by product, day, and hour shows exactly what sells when, so you bake to real demand instead of a guess — and see day-old waste fall week on week. *Less binned at close and fewer empty shelves by midday — you bake what actually sells.*
- Link every product to its recipe so the system knows the true ingredient cost of each loaf and cake, and flags your real margin when supplier prices change. *You price with confidence and catch a bestseller slipping into loss before month-end does.*

## How It Works

1. **Set Up Your Bakery** — Import products, configure recipes, pricing, and expiry tracking.
2. **Train Your Staff** — Minimal training needed. Staff can start selling immediately.
3. **Reduce Waste & Grow** — Track freshness, manage inventory, and increase daily sales.

## Features

- **Production Planning & Waste Tracking** — Sales history by product, day, and hour shows what actually sells when, with freshness and FIFO logic — so you bake to real demand and watch day-old waste fall.
- **Recipe Costing & Ingredient Stock** — Link each product to its recipe so ingredients deduct as you bake, you see the true cost and margin of every loaf and cake, and low-stock alerts fire before the bake stops.
- **Custom & Pre-Orders with Deposits** — Take cake and special orders with the date, flavour, message, deposit, and pickup on one record, and show the balance due at collection — no more sticky notes.
- **Fast Morning-Rush Checkout** — One-tap buttons for your regular loaves and pastries and instant payments keep the seven-to-nine queue moving instead of walking on.

## Running a Business in Port-au-Prince

Port-au-Prince sits in Ouest Department and is Haiti's capital and commercial centre.

Port-au-Prince trades in two currencies at once — gourdes and US dollars — against an exchange rate that can shift materially within a single week, so the rate a business prices at in the morning may not be the rate that protects its margin by evening. Commerce is conducted in Haitian Creole and French, and is geographically split between the lower city near the port and the higher commercial districts around Pétion-Ville, which differ sharply in basket size. Electricity and connectivity both fail routinely, so a till that stops when the power does simply stops the business.

Commerce splits between the lower city near the port and the higher commercial districts around Pétion-Ville, which differ sharply in basket size, and trade runs in Haitian Creole and French. The binding constraint is a gourde–dollar rate that can move materially within a week, so the rate you priced at this morning may not protect your margin tonight.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **What currency and payment methods does EliteTeQ POS support in Port-au-Prince?** EliteTeQ POS prices in HTG (G) and records MonCash, card and cash against the same sale, so bakeries businesses in Port-au-Prince close the day on one set of reconciled totals instead of three. Tax invoices are produced to DGI requirements, and the till keeps working when the connection drops.
- **Is EliteTeQ POS suitable for bakeries businesses in Port-au-Prince?** Yes. Port-au-Prince sits in Ouest Department, and a POS here has to hold a working gourde and dollar rate as it moves weekly, and keep selling without power. EliteTeQ POS is built for exactly that — HTG pricing, MonCash recorded against each sale, DGI-ready tax invoicing, and full offline operation so trading continues when power or network does not.
- **How is product freshness tracked?** The system tracks expiry dates automatically and applies FIFO logic to ensure older items sell first.
- **Can I track ingredients by recipe?** Yes, ingredients are deducted automatically when a product is sold.
- **Can customers pre-order cakes?** Yes, customers can place pre-orders for cakes and special bakery items.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We have thrown out the day-old loaves too.** The morning gamble of how much to bake, the bestseller that turned out to barely break even once butter went up, the birthday cake order written on a sticky note that fell off the wall. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to bakery and cafe owners in Nairobi, where fresh stock has a clock on it and every cake is either margin or waste.
