The name, in plain English
B.O.S.S. is your Bakery Operations Support System.
The broader B.O.S.S. idea keeps bakery work centred on three questions: who is the customer, what exactly is required, and when must it be ready.
B.O.S.S. Lite is where that journey begins: one deliberately focused part of the wider idea—the recipe card and its formula maths—made practical at the bench.
Lite is the first step, not the full extent of B.O.S.S.—a clear foundation for the broader system to grow from.
B.O.S.S. Lite
A recipe book that does the maths—both ways.
Scale to the batch you need, or use the reverse recipe calculator to begin with an ingredient quantity already on hand.
Scale exactly what you need
Enter the required output and let B.O.S.S. Lite calculate the batch—without rewriting the formula.
Calculate from an ingredient
Choose a saved recipe and ingredient, enter the available amount and unit, and get the complete recipe scaled in proportion.
Use the formula mode that fits
Work in baker's percentage, weights or units, then read or print a clear result.
How it works
Two ways to calculate. One clear result.
Start with the finished batch you need, or reverse the calculation from an ingredient quantity already available.
- 01Choose the recipe
Start from the formula you already trust.
- 02Choose the calculation direction
Calculate from the required batch, or from one ingredient you have on hand.
- 03Enter the amount and unit
Use weight, units or the recipe's chosen output. For a reverse calculation, select the ingredient first.
- 04Use the complete working formula
B.O.S.S. preserves the recipe proportions and gives you clear quantities to read or print.
What customers want to know
Practical answers before you start.
B.O.S.S. Lite stays focused on recipe work. It gives the person making the product the quantities and method they need, without turning the bench into a back-office system.
Can I use my own recipes?
Yes. Save your ingredients, groups, method, output and preferred formula mode as one working recipe card.
What can I calculate from?
Calculate forward from a target batch or reverse from the amount of a selected ingredient already on hand.
Which recipe formats work?
Baker's percentages, fixed ingredient weights and unit or count recipes are supported.
What does the result give me?
A complete proportionally scaled formula with clear ingredient quantities and the recipe method, ready to read or print.
Does it work without internet?
Core recipe and formula work is designed for offline use, so the recipe book remains useful at the bench.
Can I protect my recipe book?
Encrypted backup and restore are built in, giving you a practical way to protect and recover your recipes.
Focused by design
Recipe work stays front and centre.
B.O.S.S. Lite is deliberately separate from orders, customers, stock, costing and production records. It is a clean recipe and formula tool for the bench.
