Cornish Bakery

Beyond the Counter: Cornish Bakery Scales Nationwide with WRS Data & POS Solutions.

Overview

From its humble beginnings in a Cornish fishing village, Cornish Bakery has grown into a multi-award-winning brand with 65+ locations across the UK. Known for its fresh, innovative menu and presence in high streets, tourist hotspots, and event venues, the bakery is now targeting over 400 UK locations. WRS has been a key technology partner in this journey, providing scalable POS and data solutions to support expansion and performance.

The challenge

As Cornish Bakery expanded rapidly, it needed a robust POS system and advanced reporting tools to support operational consistency, strategic planning, and performance tracking across a growing estate. The brand required a partner who could provide a reliable solution and deliver meaningful business insights from their sales data.

Our solution

WRS provides consistent support services to deliver and sustain the POS system across Cornish Bakery sites. To address the need for advanced insights, WRS developed bespoke reports to enhance business decision-making. The data team at WRS works closely with Cornish Bakery to deliver new insights that are now guiding board-level strategy. WRS also offers critical support during the rollout phases to ensure a seamless expansion process.

Resulting impact

The bespoke reporting tools have been invaluable, providing an unprecedented level of visibility into business performance that is actively driving strategic decisions at a board level. This operational and strategic clarity has helped the brand achieve a record-breaking sales performance, including a 24% YoY revenue increase in August and a 9% like-for-like growth since January 2025. Cornish Bakery's success has earned it a spot on the Interpath Top 100 Fast Growth list of UK retailers.
