A website for your bakery, written from one sentence

What is on the shelf, and when

Bakery regulars plan around the oven. They want to know which days you open, what time the doors unlock and what comes out first.

Rosa's Bakery is invented for this example. Its sentence names three bakes and gives Tue-Sat 7am-3pm, so the draft shows those days and times plainly. It adds no other days on its own.

If your loaves come out at different times, say it in your words. "Sourdough from 7am, croissants from 8am, pies on Fridays only" gives early customers a reason to come in.

Selling out before closing time

Small bakeries often run out before the sign says closed. A regular who walks in at 2pm to bare shelves feels let down.

A short line fixes that. Ask the draft to add "we close when we sell out, usually by early afternoon" if that is how your days go. You can also add a note for items people should phone ahead to save. Change the note any morning the oven runs late or a batch fails, and change it back once things are normal.

Cake orders start with a call

Birthday and wedding cakes are the big orders for many bakeries. These orders need a chat about size, flavour, writing on top and the pickup day.

In the example, the phone number sits right beside the cake section. Tell the draft how much notice you need, such as "order cakes at least five days ahead," and it adds that line. If you have set cake prices, type them and ask for a price list.

Allergen questions stay at the counter

Customers ask about nuts, gluten, dairy and eggs every day. The right answer depends on the batch, the recipe and what else went through your kitchen.

The draft will not write allergen claims for you. It will not label a cake gluten free or nut free on a guess. You give those answers in person or by phone, and you can add a line asking customers to tell you about allergies when they order.

If you do keep a written allergen list, type it in yourself so the words on the page are yours.

Pictures of real bread

People buy with their eyes, and a bakery page lives on its photos. The draft has no photos of your loaves or your shop.

If you ask for images, it uses a few generic ones from a small free-licence stock pool. Replace them with your own phone shots of the morning bake as soon as you can.
