Overview

The fastest way to launch your catalog is to let Knead draft it for you. During onboarding, just describe what you bake in a sentence or two — Knead reads it and drafts a set of products you can edit, price, and accept.
Good to know: The AI menu drafter is rolling out gradually. If you don’t see it, you can still build your catalog by creating your first product manually — same great menu, just a few more clicks.

​
Where it lives

The menu drafter is Step 2 of the new-bakery onboarding wizard at /onboarding, a four-step flow (you’ll see “Step n of 4” at the top):
  1. Step 1 — Welcome: your business name, timezone, optional tax rate, and order number prefix.
  2. Step 2 — Tell me about your bakery: draft your starter menu (covered below).
  3. Step 3 — Order form preview and accent color.
  4. Step 4 — Celebration: ” is open!”

​
Step 2: Tell me about your bakery

The prompt reads: “A sentence or two — what you bake, who buys it, anything special. I’ll draft your starter menu so you can edit and accept what fits.”
  1. Type into the textarea. For example: “I make lemon curd cupcakes by the dozen and custom 3-tier wedding cakes. I also do gluten-free options.” (10–2000 characters.)
  2. Or click the sample chips to build a description fast: Lemon curd cupcakes, Custom wedding cakes, Gluten-free options, Sourdough loaves, Birthday cake orders.
  3. Click Draft my menu.
The Tell me about your bakery step with the description box and sample chips Knead shows its progress as it works — “Reading what you wrote…”, “Drafting your menu…”, and “Matching sell units…”.

​
Review and accept your draft

You’ll get a set of editable draft product cards: “Here’s what I drafted. Edit any product, set prices, and accept when ready.”
  • Edit any product’s name, description, or price.
  • Remove any product that doesn’t fit.
  • When the menu looks right, click Accept products.
Prefer to start fresh? Click Start over to rewrite your description, or fall back to picking categories the old way.
Pro tip: Don’t overthink your description — you can edit every drafted product before accepting, and you can always add more later. Getting a starter menu in place is the goal.
