If any of these sound familiar, you're our customer.
Custom Cake Orders Live in Sticky Notes and Texts
Wedding and birthday cake orders get tracked across phone calls, texts and email threads — flavor, tiers, topper, delivery time, deposit paid, balance due. One missed detail and the order's wrong on the day that matters most.
Wholesale Orders Get Re-Typed Every Week
"48 croissants every Tuesday and Friday" for a cafe account still gets manually re-entered each time. A standing order should place itself.
Overproduction Waste vs. Stockouts
Most baked goods have a 24-48 hour sell window — guess high and it's wasted, guess low and you're out by 10am. Real demand data replaces the guess.
Delivery Apps Take the Margin on Every Order
DoorDash and Uber Eats commissions run 15-30%+ against bakery margins that are already thin — and fragile items don't always survive the trip. Direct ordering keeps both the margin and the box intact.
Overnight Shifts Are Hard to Staff
The industry is projecting 53,500 unfilled US baking jobs by 2030 — early-morning and overnight shifts are the first thing new hires balk at. Simple scheduling and a system anyone can learn fast helps you keep who you've got.
Holiday Rushes Are a Guessing Game
Thanksgiving pies, Christmas orders, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day — each is a single-day spike that has to be forecast months ahead. Guessing wrong means turning away orders or throwing away product.
Allergen Labeling Per Recipe Is Manual
Nine major allergens, gluten, cross-contact — tracking this per recipe by hand is slow and error-prone. A digital menu tags every allergen automatically, every time.
Order Tickets Get Lost Between Counter and Kitchen
A written order for the display case doesn't always make it back to whoever's decorating or baking. A production screen keeps every order visible until it's actually done.
Bad Google Reviews
A single bad review on Google can cost you dozens of new customers. Most happen before you even know there's a problem.
The Root Problem
Different problems. Same root cause.
Every one of them comes from running separate systems that forget the guest the moment an order ends. Asky is one system — and it remembers.
Every tool your venue needs — all in one platform, working as one.
Operate
Simplified operations.
One menu powering table, takeaway and delivery orders. Time-based, with photos, modifiers and dietary tags.
Customers tap, order and pay on their own — at the table, the counter or a kiosk.
Customers scan, order and pay on their phone — at the table, in the queue, or in the room.
Fast, casual-friendly POS that handles the floor. Modifiers, splits, transfers.
Owner, manager, cashier, kitchen — each role gets its own view, permissions and reports.
Tables, rooms, events and experiences in one book — with floor plans, deposits, reminders, capacity limits and no-show tracking.
See every table in real time — open, seated, ordering or ready to pay — straight from the floor plan.
Card, contactless, mobile wallet — all settled in one dashboard.
Kitchen display synced with the floor. Orders sequenced, delays surfaced, comms reduced.
The kitchen sets how long each dish takes and the guest sees it before they order — so a slow-cooked plate reads as worth the wait, not as a late one.
Drivers see their queue, route, customer notes and proof of delivery from one app.
A single view of every active delivery, driver and ETA — for ops control in real time.
Live map of pending orders. Smart batching cuts delivery time and fuel cost.
Split by item, by guest or evenly. Closes the table fast at peak.
Returning customers tap once to reorder their favourites. Drives loyalty without effort.
End-of-day, sales by item, COGS, staff hours, variance — finalised the moment you close. No spreadsheets.
Staff start, pause and close their own shifts. See sales, cash in drawer and hours per team member — in real time.
Track ingredients, COGS and variance per menu item. Auto re-order alerts.
Schedule shifts, track hours, manage swaps and approvals — alongside the POS your team already uses.
Automate
Service on autopilot.
One AI brain across WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger — automated replies, same tone everywhere, and a message to the customer the moment their order status changes, including a delay.
AI replies to every Instagram comment instantly — keeps engagement high and frees your team from the feed.
New followers get an automatic DM the moment they follow — introduce your brand, share your menu or drop an offer.
Remembers each guest across conversations. No "what's your name?" twice.
Suggested responses for staff to send in one tap. Keeps the human voice; saves the time.
The 12 most-asked questions answered instantly, in the customer's language. 24/7.
AI books, confirms, modifies and cancels reservations across channels. Floor plan respected.
AI takes orders from chat with menu modifiers, allergens and upsells handled correctly.
Grow
Drive revenue.
Every order builds a guest profile. Frequency, ticket size, dietary notes — yours, not a marketplace's.
Digital stamp cards, tiered rewards, birthday treats — usage rates 4× higher than paper.
Single-use, multi-use, time-bound. Redeemable at the till and on QR ordering.
Customers refer friends, both get rewarded. Tracked end-to-end in the CRM.
Sell digital and physical gift cards. Recipients spend at your venue — you keep the cash float and pick up a new customer.
Set once, run forever. Birthday treats and lapsed-customer offers fire automatically.
Reach customers where they are. Same campaign, four channels, one dashboard.
A branded site with QR ordering, gift cards and bookings out of the box. Drag-and-drop, no code.
Link every order back to the ad that brought the customer in. ROAS at the venue level.
Send your CRM segments to Meta Ads. Retargeting, lookalikes, win-back audiences — automated.
Conversations that turn into customers — name, email, phone captured naturally in chat.
AI groups your audience by behaviour: VIPs, lapsed, first-timers, big spenders.
