Getting started

Six steps, five minutes.

Start with nothing but your settlement file. Add the other tools whenever you're ready.

  1. Start your free trial

    Click "Start free trial," accept the terms, and you're in. 30 days free, no card required.

  2. Create your account

    Your name, email, route number, and city. Set a password. Loan details are optional here, add them later if you want.

  3. Get your settlement file

    Check your email for the weekly report from Bimbo (it comes from [email protected]), and save the attachment to your phone or computer. The PDF and the .HTM file both work.

  4. Upload it once, then just forward it

    Log in, click "Choose files," and select every settlement you want to see, one week or several years at once, in any order. From then on, forward each week's email to your private BreadHustle address, or set up a Gmail filter once and it loads on its own.

  5. Your dashboard is ready

    Real commission, inventory alerts, a weekly read of every store, and everything else, calculated automatically.

  6. Go further, when you're ready

    Install ION Watch in Chrome for auto orders and the change history. Upload your handheld's end-of-day reports to see your check before BBU prints it. Request your Settlement Audit Report, put the app on your phone, and add your loan and costs to see what the route really pays you per hour.

The dashboard

Behind it all: your settlement, translated.

Every week, BBU's report packs everything into one document built for accounting. Your dashboard reads it and hands you the answers you actually need, for the whole route or one store at a time. It's the base every product above builds on.

Every week

What happened, and what to order next.
Ask Alan → Chat

Ask your numbers a question

Type a question and get a straight answer from your last 13 settlements and your latest count: which store is piling up product, what sold more than you loaded, which item you lost the most of. Answers are written by AI from your own data.

(C) → Commission

Real commission, not the estimate

Your spread times your actual Net Sales, item by item, checked against the check that lands in your account, not a guess.

Weekly read

A Business Manager for every store

Each week you get a written read with a card per store: what piled up there, what ran short, and how much of what it got actually scanned as sold.

Day by day

Sales by day and by store

Units scanned each day of the week at each store, and what BBU invoiced you each delivery day next to what actually sold.

Increase / Cut

Order store by store

Increase Order and Cut Order lists for the whole route or one store, which is how the order is actually placed. Search any product by code or name.

Product → Chart

Every product's sales, week by week

Open any product for up to half a year of weekly sales, with the average, the best week and how recent weeks compare. Print it as a one page PDF to hand a store manager when you ask for a display or more space.

Email → Dashboard

Settlements that load themselves

Forward BBU's email to your private address, or set up a Gmail filter once, and each week lands on your dashboard with a reply saying which week loaded.

Inventory and the count

See the shrink coming, then prove it.
SMRP165S → Carry-over

See what's stuck on the shelf

Track inventory building up since your last physical count, item by item and store by store. Download the count list anytime, split by store with dollar subtotals.

This week

The week you're living now

Your settlement reports register sales a week late. This card uses the deliveries already printed plus an estimate of the sales to show where your inventory is heading right now.

SBT Shrink → Trend

Catch shrink while it's still cheap to fix

Watch the quarter-to-date number climb week by week, next to BBU's own shrink ledger per store, long before the count settles it.

The business side

What the route is really paying you.
Loan → Amortization

Know what you actually owe

The real principal-versus-interest split on your route financing, recalculated every week, not just a payment total.

P&L → Schedule C

Your real hourly rate

Add your costs and hours for a monthly, yearly or custom P&L with your net per hour. Expenses are sorted into Schedule C categories, ready for your accountant.

Week over week

Compare week to week, month to month

A single settlement PDF can't show you a trend. Weeks and months side by side can, for the route or for each store.

Pricing

Would you buy us a coffee to sit down with your settlement?

That's the whole deal. For about what one coffee costs, once a week, you get every BreadHustle product: auto orders and ION Watch, your check before BBU prints it, the Settlement Audit Report, the Inventory Audit, the app, and a dashboard that goes through every line of your settlement with you.

FAQ

Questions route owners actually ask.

Something else? Write to [email protected].

Is this run by Bimbo?
No. BreadHustle is independent, built by a route owner. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Bimbo Bakeries USA.
Does this work if I'm not a Bimbo route?
Today BreadHustle is built and tested for Bimbo settlements (Barcel included, since it's part of Bimbo). Routes from other companies, Flowers, Martin's, Pepperidge Farm, UTZ, and similar, are still in development. If that's you, reach out and we'll let you know the moment it's ready.
What if I don't have my loan info handy?
Skip it during signup and add it anytime later. It only affects the loan payoff panel, nothing else.
Where do I get my settlement file?
It's emailed weekly from [email protected]. If you don't have it (deleted, never received it), download it directly from bimbobbuconnect.com/reports, log in with the same username and password you already use for ION. Still stuck? Contact Bimbo's settlement support directly: IBP Settlement EAST at 1-866-492-2242 / [email protected], or IBP Settlement WEST at the same phone number / [email protected], whichever covers your route.
What is Ask Alan?
A chat on your dashboard. Type a question about your route in plain words and get an answer built from your last 13 settlements and your latest physical count. The answers are written by AI from your own data, so double check anything you're about to act on.
What is ION Watch?
A Chrome extension for BreadHustle users that works inside ION, the ordering site you already use, with your own ION login. It repeats this week's order into the Order Week and Plan Week in a few clicks, and scans your route for changes someone else made to your order, with a Revert button while the day is still open. It runs on Google Chrome on a computer, not on phones. It only writes to ION when you confirm, and you always review your order in ION before the cutoff. See how it works.
How do I install ION Watch?
Log in to BreadHustle (no account yet? start your free trial), open breadhustle.com/account/#ion-watch and accept the updated Terms, then install it from the Chrome Web Store in Chrome on your computer. Open any store in ION and click the ION Watch icon: a guided tour shows you around.
Can I know my check before BBU prints it?
Yes. At the end of each route day, before you close it, export the Settlement Report, Promotion Listing and Load Check from your handheld and upload them in the same box as your settlements. The dashboard adds up the week and shows the check to expect on Tuesday. When BBU's settlement for that week arrives, it compares every day's load and promo with what your handheld printed. The handheld can't print these again once the day is closed, so upload them that same day.
What is Audit my numbers?
A button on your dashboard. Tap Request my audit and we check every settlement you uploaded for that route, line by line: the math on your check, your real margin by customer, fees and true-ups, and anything you were charged for but never invoiced. You get the full report by email, usually within 1 to 2 business days. One audit per route each month, and you need at least one settlement uploaded first.
Can I put BreadHustle on my phone?
Yes. On your dashboard, tap Install BreadHustle on your phone. On Android, Chrome installs it for you. On iPhone, open breadhustle.com in Safari, tap Share (the square with the arrow), then Add to Home Screen. It opens full screen with its own icon and keeps you logged in. Once it's installed you can turn on notifications too.
Do I have to upload every week?
No. Your dashboard gives you a private email address. Forward BBU's settlement email to it with the file attached, or set up a Gmail filter once and every settlement loads on its own. You get a reply telling you which week loaded.
Who sees my numbers?
Only you. We don't share your data with Bimbo, with other members, or use it to benefit anyone else. See the Privacy & Confidentiality Commitment for the full language.
What happens after the 30 days?
$29/month, or $290/year (2 months free). No contract. Cancel anytime, no fee. Nothing changes unless you decide to continue.
I run more than one route. Can I manage them all in one place?
Yes, that's Premium. Sign up normally for your first route, then add up to 3 more from your account when you're ready. One login, one $45/month subscription covering all of them, with a 15-day free trial and a consolidated dashboard that still lets you drill into any single route.
Is it available in Spanish?
Yes. The whole site and dashboard work in English and Spanish. Switch anytime from the language toggle.
Can I get BreadHustle for free?
Yes. Every account gets its own referral link and code. Once you've referred another route owner and you've both paid for at least one month, you each get 30 days free automatically.
