Update Products

BakeSmart has the ability to update your products automatically or allow you to manage the manually. We have 4 options when deciding how BakeSmart should handle Product Updates.

  1. Always on Start Up - Each time BakeSmart is opened products will update
  2. At Start of First Ticket - At the beginning of the first ticket for each day products will update
  3. Manually - BakeSmart will never automatically update products. Manual updates are done in Settings > POS Manager Menu > Update Products
  4. Once Daily On Start Up - The first time BakeSmart is opened for the day products will update
