Cooking to the order, every week

A count per dish gives you your shopping list. Twenty-four teriyaki bowls and twelve curries is a different grocery run than the reverse.

Rename the three dish questions each week and keep the rest. Regulars learn the rhythm and order in under a minute.

Read the leave-out answers before you shop. One nut allergy changes how you prep the whole batch.

Group deliveries by neighborhood from the address column. A route planned on Saturday saves an hour on Sunday.

Meal prep order questions

How do customers pay?

Text each customer the total with a payment link after the cutoff. The form takes no payment and no fee, so the full $12 a meal is yours. Send the links on Saturday morning and ask for payment by that evening. Add a private note to each order once it's paid, so on Sunday you know which bags are ready to hand over.

Can I set a minimum order?

Say it in the intro, such as a minimum of five meals for delivery. Check the counts when orders close and message anyone under it. Each dish takes a number from 0 to 10, so no one orders 50 by mistake. For a delivery order under the minimum, a quick text offering pickup instead usually saves the sale.

Can I stop orders when I hit my kitchen's limit?

Set a response limit or a closing date in the form's settings. Friday at 8 pm as a closing date gives you the whole Saturday to shop. A response limit counts orders, not meals. If your kitchen tops out around 60 meals and most orders are four or five meals, a limit of 12 to 15 orders keeps you under it.
