What is Bakery & Food Production Management?

A build-to-order Odoo suite that turns recipes into costed BOMs, plans batch and lot production, tracks shelf-life and wastage, and ties central-kitchen output to multi-outlet POS. ECOSIRE scopes, builds, installs and supports it for Odoo 17, 18 and 19. Built to order by ECOSIRE for Odoo 17, 18, 19 — indicative price from $999.00 USD; request a quote for a scoped proposal.

Key Features

Recipe modelled as an extended `mrp.bom` with explicit batch size and yield, so planned quantity and actual unit output are tracked separately
Per-unit and per-batch recipe costing computed via `@api.depends` on component `standard_price` — ingredient price changes re-roll recipe cost automatically
Sub-recipe / intermediate support (e.g. dough or sponge as a produced component consumed by a finished-good BOM)
Batch/lot production orders that generate `stock.lot` records with production date and a computed `use_by` expiry from a per-product shelf-life field
FEFO (First-Expiry-First-Out) removal strategy configured so the oldest safe stock is consumed and shipped first
Dedicated wastage/spoilage model (`ecosire.food.waste`) with reason codes, quantity, source lot and cost impact posted through real `stock.move` records
Expiry board and near-expiry alerts driven by `ir.cron` / `base.automation` that flag or quarantine lots before they go out of date
Central-kitchen-to-outlet distribution via internal transfers into each outlet's `stock.warehouse`, with per-outlet stock visibility
Multi-outlet POS integration: `pos.order` lines reconciled against produced lots for sell-through, write-off and margin reporting per store
QWeb reports: batch production sheet / mixing sheet, daily production log, and a daily waste & spoilage report
Role-based access via `ir.model.access.csv` plus record rules for production, store-manager and POS-cashier roles
Ingredient and allergen fields on products with QWeb output suitable for compliance labelling
Yield-variance and waste-rate reporting so actual output and loss can be compared against the recipe standard
Full XML-RPC / JSON-RPC exposure of recipe, lot and waste models for scales, label printers or external integrations
Versioned `__manifest__.py` targeting Odoo 17.0, 18.0 and 19.0, packaged as clean installable source with no core-file patching

About this Product

Bakeries and food-production businesses run on a rhythm that standard ERP was never shaped for: a recipe yields a variable number of units, ingredients are costed by the gram, every batch carries a lot and an expiry date, and unsold product becomes waste that has to be recorded, not ignored. Odoo Community gives you mrp.bom and basic manufacturing orders, and Enterprise adds workcenters and quality — but out of the box there is no notion of recipe yield vs. planned quantity, no shelf-life-driven expiry on the lot, no structured wastage/spoilage capture, and no clean bridge from a central kitchen's production run to what each retail outlet actually sells through POS. Teams end up patching this with spreadsheets and manual stock adjustments, and the numbers never reconcile.

ECOSIRE builds a focused Odoo module that closes exactly those gaps on top of Odoo's own manufacturing and inventory engine — we extend, we don't replace. Recipes are modelled as an extended mrp.bom carrying yield, batch size and a computed per-unit cost via @api.depends on component standard_price, so a change in flour cost re-rolls every recipe automatically. Production is planned as batch/lot manufacturing orders that write stock.lot records with a production date and a use_by/expiry computed from a per-product shelf-life field; FEFO removal strategy is configured so the oldest safe stock ships first. Wastage and spoilage are a first-class model (ecosire.food.waste) with reason codes, quantity, cost impact and the source lot, posted through proper stock moves so inventory and valuation stay correct rather than drifting.

On the distribution side we wire central-kitchen output to multi-outlet retail. Production feeds internal transfers to each outlet's stock.warehouse, and pos.order lines are reconciled back against produced lots so you can see sell-through, expiry write-offs and margin per outlet. Everything ships with the correct Odoo scaffolding — a versioned __manifest__.py declaring dependencies (mrp, stock, point_of_sale), ir.model.access.csv plus record rules for production, POS and store-manager roles, list/form/kanban views in XML (with OWL components where an interactive planner or expiry board helps), QWeb reports for production sheets and daily waste, and automated actions (ir.cron/base.automation) that flag lots nearing expiry. All models are exposed over Odoo's XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API so scales, label printers or a headless storefront can read and write against the same data.

Because this is build-to-order, nothing is a mystery download. After a short scoping call we confirm your recipes, outlet structure, roles and Odoo edition (Community or Enterprise) and version (17.0, 18.0 or 19.0), then produce a written scope. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. You get the module built and tested on a staging copy of your database, a UAT sign-off pass, deployment to production, and a post-go-live support window — plus the full git repository so the code is yours, not locked behind a vendor.

What you get

  • Installable module source code built for your exact Odoo edition (Community/Enterprise) and version (17.0, 18.0 or 19.0)
  • Installation and configuration on your environment — dependencies, removal strategy (FEFO), roles and outlet/warehouse setup
  • Technical documentation: data model, field reference, security matrix and API endpoints
  • End-user guide plus a live training session for production, store-manager and POS staff
  • UAT on a staging copy of your database with a documented rollback plan before production cut-over
  • Post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration adjustments
  • Handover of the full git repository so you own the source outright
  • Recipe/BOM and shelf-life data setup templates to load your initial products and expiry rules

Who this is for

Artisan & retail bakery owner

Runs one or more shopfronts producing baked goods daily. Needs recipes costed accurately as flour and butter prices move, expiry dates on every batch, and a clear view of how much unsold product is written off each day so pricing and production volumes can be tuned.

Central kitchen / commissary operations manager

Produces in bulk and distributes to multiple outlets or franchisees. Needs batch/lot planning, FEFO dispatch, internal transfers into each outlet's warehouse, and sell-through reconciliation against POS to see which stores move product before it expires.

Food production supervisor / QA lead

Owns traceability and compliance. Needs lot tracking from ingredient to finished good, allergen data on labels, structured wastage reason codes, and near-expiry alerts so at-risk stock is quarantined rather than sold.

Finance / cost controller

Wants recipe standard costs, yield variance and waste rates to reconcile with inventory valuation in Odoo Accounting, so margin per product and per outlet is real rather than estimated from spreadsheets.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bakery & Food Production Management

How long does delivery take?

This is a build-to-order module, not an instant download. After a short scoping call we confirm your recipes, outlets, roles and Odoo edition/version and write a scope document. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope, depending on how many outlets, integrations (scales, label printers, POS hardware) and custom reports are involved. You'll get a firm timeline in the written scope before we start.

Does it work with Odoo Community or only Enterprise?

Both. The core recipe, batch/lot, shelf-life, wastage and POS reconciliation features are built on `mrp`, `stock` and `point_of_sale`, which exist in Community. If your scope needs Enterprise-only capabilities (for example advanced workcenter scheduling or Studio-built helpers), we'll flag that during scoping. We target Odoo 17.0, 18.0 and 19.0 — tell us your version and we build against it.

How does shelf-life and expiry actually work?

Each product carries a shelf-life (in days). When a batch is produced, the manufacturing order writes a `stock.lot` with the production date and a computed `use_by`/expiry date. We configure FEFO removal so the earliest-expiring safe stock is consumed and shipped first, and an `ir.cron` job flags lots nearing expiry so staff can quarantine, discount or write them off before they're sold.

Can it connect to my POS, scales or label printer?

Yes. POS is integrated through Odoo's `point_of_sale` so `pos.order` lines reconcile against produced lots for per-outlet sell-through and write-off reporting. All recipe, lot and waste models are exposed over Odoo's XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API, so scales, label printers or an external system can read and write against the same data. Specific hardware integrations are scoped and priced up front.

What about updates and support after go-live?

Every engagement includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration adjustments. Because we hand over the full git repository, your team (or any Odoo partner) can maintain the code afterward. We also offer optional ongoing support and version-migration work — for example moving the module from Odoo 17 to 18 or 19 when you upgrade — quoted separately.

Will this modify or break my existing Odoo?

No core-file patching. The module extends standard models (`mrp.bom`, `stock.lot`, `pos.order`) through clean inheritance and adds its own models, so your existing manufacturing and inventory keep working. We build and test on a staging copy of your database, run a UAT pass with you, and keep a documented rollback plan before any production cut-over.

Do we own the code, or is it locked to ECOSIRE?

You own it. Deliverables include the full git repository handover, technical documentation and a security/access matrix. There's no vendor lock — you can host, modify or extend it yourself or through another partner. We're happy to keep supporting it, but you're never dependent on us to keep running.
