Simply Bread Ordering App: A Fair Look for Home Bakers
A plain look at what the Simply Bread ordering app does, what to ask before you commit, and how to pick the setup that fits your kitchen.
On this page
If you sell from your kitchen right now, you probably take orders in a mix of texts, screenshots, and a notebook with a page folded down. An ordering app promises to pull all of that into one place. Here is what the Simply Bread ordering app actually offers, what its own page does not answer, and how to decide whether it fits the way you bake.
What to remember
- Simply Bread describes its app as the command center for your baking business, with orders, payments, and pickups or deliveries in one place. - It is on the App Store and Google Play, plus a web app at app.simplybread.com for desktop use. - The app page says you can create a page for customers and customize it with your own logo and colors. - The page does not list a price, so ask before you plan around it.
What the Simply Bread ordering app does
Simply Bread’s own page calls the app the command center for your baking business. It says bakers can accept orders, process payments, and schedule pickups or deliveries from one place.
The capabilities it lists are building your shop, scheduling bake days, reaching customers, taking orders, and payments made easy. Simply Bread also says you can create a page for your customers and make it your own with your logo and your colors, so it reads like your bakery rather than a blank order form.
You can download it on the App Store and Google Play. There is also a web app at app.simplybread.com for desktop use, which matters if you do your order admin at the kitchen table with a laptop open.
Where it fits a home baker
The strongest part for someone baking at home is the bake day planning. If you bake on set days and take orders ahead of time, keeping the order, the payment, and the pickup window together saves a lot of back and forth texting. The logo and color option helps too, because a customer deciding between you and the bakery down the road notices when a page looks like it belongs to a real business.
Where it gets less clear is everything after the order comes in. Payments made easy is listed as a capability, but the page does not say how the money reaches you, what the fees are, or how fast it lands.
What the page does not answer
Simply Bread’s app page does not list a price. It also does not spell out whether there is a cut of your sales, what the card fees are, or whether you can use your own web address. Those are the numbers that decide whether an app is cheap or expensive for a home baker selling a few dozen loaves a week.
How to choose an ordering setup in five minutes
Write down how you take orders today
Count the texts, DMs, and phone calls you handled last week. That number tells you how much an ordering app would actually save you.
List the three jobs you repeat every week
Usually that is taking orders, chasing payments, and setting pickup times. Rank them, because the app that fixes your biggest job is the one worth paying for.
Ask every app the same questions
Monthly cost, any cut of your sales, card fees, when the money reaches you, whether you get your own web address, and whether you can take your customer list with you if you leave.
Try it on your phone and on a computer
Take a real order on your phone, then do the same job on a laptop. If one of them is clumsy, you will feel it every week.
Why home bakers choose Brevl
Brevl is the alternative many home bakers land on after comparing. It is one flat $20 a month with no cut of your sales, and there is a 14 day free trial. You take card payments through your own Stripe or Square account, plus Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, and cash.
The shop is yours to customize with your photos, your colors, and your own web address. Recipes come with real costing, ingredient inventory, and a weekly planner, so pricing and planning sit in the same place as your orders. We set it up with you and move your old shop over, including products, photos, reviews, and dates. A real person answers, usually within minutes.

The bottom line
The Simply Bread ordering app puts orders, payments, and pickup scheduling in one place, and its page shows a shop you can brand with your logo and colors. It is a reasonable option for a baker who wants that. Just get the price and the fee details in writing first, then compare it with a shop that charges one flat monthly fee and pays you straight into your own card account.
