Wenzel’s The Bakers chooses Cybake to help run central operations and stores
March 3, 2026
Wenzel’s The Bakers is rolling out Cybake software to help manage its central bakery and estate of over 100 stores.
Based in Watford, Hertfordshire, Wenzel’s The Bakers is one of the UK’s largest independent retail bakery chains. A well-known brand across the South East of England, the company operates 108 shops across the Home Counties and London.
York-based Cybake is the UK’s leading provider of bakery ERP software and has a fast-growing user base across North America, Australia, and Asia.
Wenzel’s The Bakers’ shops are already using Cybake to forecast the best combination of products they need each day to optimize sales and waste. Cybake makes its predictions from till data via integration with Vita Mojo POS software.
Cybake then puts the shops’ automated orders into production at the company’s central bakery, where the software generates the prep sheets required to fulfil them and handles stock.
Soon, Cybake will be used for purchasing, recipe management, and processing food information such as nutritional data and allergens for all of Wenzel’s The Bakers’ products.
Business intelligence
The rollout will also deliver a comprehensive set of business intelligence reports with clear KPIs for analysis of areas such as sales, stock reconciliation, margins, and waste.
Additionally, Wenzel’s The Bakers plans to implement Cybake ISB, the software developer’s production planner for in-store food production. Cybake ISB will show store staff what FTG items to make, how to make them, and when they should be made to ensure maximum freshness and availability.
Explaining why the company chose Cybake, Wenzel’s The Bakers’ Chief Operating Officer Karl Spinks (pictured, right) says: “We have had some challenges in tech, so we decided on a bakery ERP system to help us consolidate multiple solutions into one that our team can trust in. The features in the system are exceptional and for a bakery unit there is nothing that compares on the market.”
Ali Lyons, CEO of Cybake, says: “With over a hundred shops and such a well-loved brand, this is a significant implementation. It’s also a partnership that has sparked some interesting new functionality within Cybake, so I am very happy to welcome Wenzel’s The Bakers to our family of users.”
Other large independent retail bakery chains around the UK that rely on Cybake include Fife-based Bayne’s the Family Bakers, Scarborough’s Coopland’s Bakery, York’s Thomas the Baker, and Llanelli-based Jenkins Bakery.
