Sourdough loaves, croissants and pastries on wooden shelves behind a bakery counter
For bakeries on Vancouver Island

Sell your baked goods online
by the loaf, the dozen or the box.

Sell fresh bread, pastries and cakes to people nearby, and loaves wholesale to cafes and restaurants — at prices you set.

No subscription. You pay only when you sell.

Why it works for a small bakery

  • Keep more of every croissant

    A croissant is a small sale, so the cut taken from it matters. Our commission is lower than DoorDash, Uber Eats or SkipTheDishes charge, with no setup or listing fees on top.

  • People looking for a local loaf

    People come to Local Pass to buy local. Your small-batch sourdough is in front of the people who came looking for it.

  • Keep the Saturday line-up

    There’s no exclusivity and no minimum. The weekend line at your door, your market table and the cafes on your morning run all stay yours. This is one more door into the same bakery.

Bakery online ordering, with wholesale and catering too

  • Food Market shop

    Your bakery’s own shop

    Each loaf, pastry and cake has its own page on Local Pass, built to be found on Google.

    See the shops on Local Pass
  • Restaurant menu

    Or a menu for your cafe counter

    Selling coffee and a pastry case? Put your menu, photos and hours on a cafe page with ordering built in.

    See restaurant delivery
  • Food Market shop

    Pickup, delivery and shipping

    Your counter or other pickup points, each with its own hours; Local Pass drivers or your own; and shipping for the bakes that travel well.

  • Platters and cakes for events

    Pastry platters, bread baskets and cakes, booked as catering orders. For bigger events, customers send a request and you reply with a quote — deposits and invoicing included.

    How catering works
  • A baker’s dozen, and other deals

    Buy-one-get-one scones, a discount on a new loaf, money off a big order — plus promotions we run together with other local businesses.

  • Chat with the people who buy your bread

    Tell a customer which loaf is seeded or what’s in the morning bun, and reply to your regulars’ reviews.

  • Delivery routes, for your shop

    Stop planning the morning run on paper

    Add your vans and press one button. Every café drop, cake delivery and subscription box for the day goes onto a route for each van, in the order to drive it. Print each driver’s sheet and go.

    • Drivers follow it on their phone

      In the Local Pass app. iPhone now, Android coming soon.

    • Ready at the door

      Customers get a message when the driver sets off.

    • Every van within its limits

      No van is loaded past its limit or kept out past the driver’s hours.

    • Plan tomorrow tonight

      If orders change, plan again in one click.

Beyond everyday orders

  • Soon to Go

    Sell today’s surplus instead of throwing it out

    The last trays, this morning’s bread, the produce that won’t last the week.

    Mark it Soon to Go and sell it at a discount, with a clearance badge and boosted placement. We’re inviting businesses to join now, and we’ll set it up with you.

    Ask us to set it up
  • Wholesale

    For anyone who buys in bulk

    Orders by text, prices in a spreadsheet, invoices typed by hand.

    Cafés, restaurants, caterers and shops each get an order sheet with your prices, behind a password if you like. They send an order, you confirm what you can supply, and then the invoice goes out.

  • Subscriptions

    Regulars who order every week

    The same customers asking for the same order, every week, by text.

    Sell a weekly or monthly subscription box. Subscribers pay by card and skip or change their own weeks, and each week’s orders arrive ready to pack.

    How subscriptions work

Be on your own website and on Local Pass

The regulars who order from your website and the ones who order on Local Pass buy from the same bake.

  • A button, or this week’s bakes

    Paste an order button, or a grid of the products you choose: a baker’s dozen, a seasonal special, a box.

  • Sold out means sold out everywhere

    Customers check out on Local Pass, and your website and Local Pass share one set of products and stock, so nobody orders the last loaf twice.

  • Cafés ordering off the app

    The cafés you bake for order from a sheet of your wholesale prices rather than from the Local Pass app.

  • Cakes and platters by request

    Your catering page comes with a button and a QR code, so event orders reach you directly.

NewYour own store site

No website? Your shop can be one.

When customers come in through your own link, your Local Pass shop looks like your own website, not like an app full of other businesses.

  • Your name and logo up top

    With your own menu: your shop, and pre-orders, subscriptions, wholesale or catering when you offer them.

  • No other stores around you

    No marketplace, no other businesses’ products. Just a small “Powered by Local Pass” at the bottom.

  • Opened from your links

    Your shop link, your QR code and your website’s Order button all open this version.

  • Same checkout, same account

    Customers pay on Local Pass, and the orders come in with all the others.

Straight answers for bakers

Can a bakery in Victoria sell online through Local Pass?

Yes. Local Pass is a Victoria company, started by Subash Chandel and Dmitriy Kuleshov, and bakeries across Greater Victoria can apply today. Nanaimo, Duncan, Courtenay, Campbell River and Port Alberni are rolling out next, so bakers there can apply now and be ready. Based somewhere else? Apply anyway.

Should my bakery sell as a cafe or as a shop on Local Pass?

Both work. A bakery-cafe with coffee and a pastry case usually sells as a cafe: a menu page, delivery zones and live order tracking. A bakery selling by the loaf or wholesale usually sells as a shop, which adds live stock counts, shipping, pickup points and wholesale order sheets.

What happens to the bread I haven’t sold by closing time?

Mark it Soon to Go, on a cafe menu or in your shop. It shows at a discount you set, with a clearance badge, higher up where shoppers look — so the day’s last loaves and pastries sell instead of going in the bin.

Does Local Pass connect to the POS at my counter?

Yes. Local Pass orders go straight into your point-of-sale, so nothing is rung up twice. Square works today, with more systems on the way — tell us which one you use.

Who answers a customer if a bakery order goes wrong?

We do. Our team handles customer support for order problems on your behalf, and you stay in charge of baking and packing each order.
