Which to choose

CakeBoss

Choose CakeBoss if you fit its listed audience: Home bakers and cake decorators; Small bakery shops that need costing and scheduling.

Our profile lists a weaker fit: Businesses that need a point of sale or accounting. The FAQ says CakeBoss is not point-of-sale software and does not replace traditional accounting software.

Galley Solutions

Choose Galley Solutions if you are in one of these groups: Contract dining and onsite foodservice; Multi-unit restaurant groups; Small operators, commissaries and caterers.

Weaker fit: Operators wanting a POS, scheduling or front-of-house tools; Galley is a back-of-house recipe, cost and menu system and connects to a POS rather than replacing one.
