Sound familiar?
Unsold bread hurts every evening
Whatever is still on the shelf at closing time is worth nothing tomorrow. You bake on instinct and experience, but without a direct line to your customers there is not much you can do to shape demand.
The supermarket bake-off counter undercuts you
Part-baked bread on every corner, and plenty of people only notice the difference once the last proper bakery has shut for good. Your sourdough deserves an audience, and a notice in the window is not going to find one.
Pre-orders turn into chaos
Scraps of paper everywhere, calls in the middle of the morning rush, orders misheard at the counter. In the run-up to a holiday, taking orders eats the time and patience you need at the oven.
How you use SmartChat
Announce baking days and special loaves
Wood-fired day, wholemeal spelt, the loaf of the week: the people who hear about it in time make a point of coming in, and you stop baking blind.
Collect pre-orders for the holidays
Hot cross buns, Christmas stollen, festive bakes: instead of juggling scraps of paper at the counter, you take orders in the chat, in writing and with nothing misheard.
Sell what is left instead of binning it
Baskets still full just before closing? A quick message to the neighbourhood brings buyers through the door, which beats throwing good bread away any day.
Show off what is new from the bakehouse
A new crusty loaf, a roll baked to a new recipe: your customers love being the first to try it, and it makes them feel part of your bakehouse.

FAQs
I am in the bakehouse at 3 a.m. - when am I meant to do marketing?
You do not have to. The AI drafts newsletters and follow-ups from your website, you read them over and approve them. That fits comfortably between two batches.
How do I get my customers' numbers?
Through your SmartChat landing page: as a QR code at the counter, in the window or on the paper bag. Customers sign themselves up and confirm with a double opt-in, all documented in a GDPR-compliant way.
Do pre-orders really work over WhatsApp?
They do, and with far less stress than over the phone. You put the word out, your customers reply in the chat, and you have every order in writing - no scraps of paper, no ringing during the rush.
What do I pay for the messages?
Meta bills the WhatsApp fees directly and SmartChat adds no markup at all. Your SmartChat plan starts at 188 euros per month on the annual plan, with unlimited contacts.
What if a customer no longer wants messages?
One word in the chat and they are unsubscribed, straight away and properly documented. That is exactly what GDPR requires, and it keeps your list full of people who genuinely love your bread.
