Taking an order

What an order holds

The phone rings on Tuesday: a two-kilo chocolate cake for Saturday afternoon. An order is the date, a time if collection has one, the client, and what they are having. The client can be created without leaving the order. Only the items are required. A name for the order, a note and photos are yours to add.

• Due date, and a time if it matters
• A client, picked or created on the spot
• Items from the catalogue, recipes or free text
• A note and photos of the agreed design

Four kinds of line

A line is one of four things. A product from your catalogue comes at its variant price. A recipe comes at any amount. A tiered cake comes from the builder. Free text covers delivery or a stand. Price a line per unit or as a flat total. Recipes are priced per kilo even when measured in grams.

• Catalogue product at its variant price
• Recipe at any amount
• Tiered cake from the builder
• Free text for delivery or a stand
• Per unit, per kilo or a flat total

A recipe at the size ordered

Scale the carrot cake to 1.5 kg on its page and send it to an order, new or existing. Picked from inside the order, a recipe starts at one batch. Type the amount sold or size it by tin, and its cost follows. The selling price is yours to type.

• Straight from a scaled recipe
• Into a new order or an existing one
• Sized by amount or by tin
• Cost from the recipe, price from you

What saving freezes

Save, and the order keeps its own copy of everything: the client’s details, what the variant was made of, the recipe, the cake. Raise the price of the tart next month or delete the product, and Saturday’s order still reads as it was sold. The app then offers to plan the baking, and the order appears on the calendar.

• Client and items as they were sold
• A prompt to plan the baking
• On the calendar by its date
• Copy text for the client, note left out
• Duplicate onto today
