Settlement guide
Your bread route settlement, explained
A weekly settlement can run 20 pages. Here's what the main lines mean, what to keep an eye on, and how to check it in minutes.
30 days free, then $29/month. No credit card.
The five lines that make your check
- Load charge (A): the product you bought from the bakery this week, at your cost.
- Return credit (B): stales and returns credited back to you.
- Net sales (C): what your stores were invoiced, at the price they pay.
- Allowances (D): promo money paid back to you on discounted product.
- Fees (E): insurance, technology, supplies and adjustments taken out.
- Your commission is C + D − (A − B); your check is that minus E.
What to keep an eye on
- Scan-based trading (SBT) true-ups: a credit posted at quarter end, then reversed.
- Shrink at SBT stores: product the registers never scanned, charged to you at the count.
- Held invoices: a sale charged back because a signed proof of delivery wasn't on file.
- Fees that change from week to week.
