World-renowned for its baguettes, France is the land of bakeries.
French consumers continue to favor local stores, which reinforces the importance of fast and seamless service.
With a steady sales pace and customers often "on the go," digitization is no longer a luxury: it helps streamline rushes and improve profitability.
In the morning, at noon, or at the end of the day: everyone stops by the bakery at the same time. These successive rushes require responsive equipment. No one wants to wait twenty minutes for a baguette.
Beyond ease of use, the law requires compliance.
All sales structures must use NF525-certified software by January 1, 2026. The fine can be up to €7,500 per non-compliant software program.
