La Petite Boulangerie — Custom Menu System

Overview

La Petite Boulangerie is a French-inspired bakery in Portland, Oregon, offering croissants, artisan breads, pastries, and espresso drinks. They were using a static PDF menu on social media and taking orders through Instagram DMs — losing sales to delivery apps with 30% commission fees.

Tech Stack

Challenge

Third-party delivery apps (Uber Eats, DoorDash) were taking 25-30% commission on every order. The bakery had no direct online ordering channel. Menu was a static PDF that couldn't be updated in real-time. No integration with their POS system for inventory tracking.

Solution

Built a custom menu system with real-time inventory updates. Integrated with Square POS for automatic stock sync. Delivery routing through direct driver dispatch (avoiding platform commissions). Responsive menu with high-quality food photography. Pre-order system for weekend specials and holiday items.
