Why use an order form
A structured form collects the quantities, flavors, contact, and pickup details that messages often omit.
Group desserts by type and reveal flavor, size, or custom questions only when relevant.
Pair each item with a required quantity and packaging choice for cleaner prep counts.
Collect a requested date and time, then review the order before confirming availability.

Choose a selling format, then add your menu and pickup rules.
List weekly treats with item quantities and collection windows.
Branch into size, flavor, inscription, servings, and image questions.
Offer box sizes, add-ons, cutoffs, and date-specific pickup choices.
Collect guest count, tray size, and assortment preferences.
Order workflow
Add your menu and pickup rules, then refine and share the generated form.
List menu items, options, minimums, lead time, cutoffs, and pickup days.
