Sweet Bites Cakes is a boutique cake shop based in Henderson, specialising in bespoke, handcrafted cake designs. Owner - Angela is hands on, always in the kitchen or out serving customers. She also handles all of the accounting, marketing and other backend jobs, so it can be hard to find the time to give each role the attention it deserves.

“Making cakes is what I want to do. That’s what I love doing, and that’s what I want to spend my time doing. But I unfortunately have to look after the accounting too, so anything that’s going to make that easier for me is a plus.”

To free up her time, she has started using Plus, our clever new app for small businesses which tracks business performance across a range of online tools.

Angela had both Vend point of sale and Xero online accounting, and with the addition of Plus – she is now notified of actionable insights that she can use to improve the performance of her business.

“It makes it really easy for me to just have an overview of what’s going on. It has little snippets of information that could be relevant to me and my business so it’s teaching me at the same time as it is giving me the information.”

“Using the app has freed up my time so I have now a little bit more time to follow the things that I want to do. I want to be able to improve the growth of the business and that’s something that I can pursue now.”
