Preorder system
A holiday bakery preorder system built for busy seasons.
Holiday volume breaks spreadsheets and DMs. A holiday bakery preorder system needs timed menus, quantity limits that sell out cleanly, pickup windows, and a production list. BakeryFlow runs those holiday sales on a flat subscription after trial so a big Christmas week does not raise your platform fee.
BakeryFlow is a home bakery app for pre-orders: set your menu, share one link, get paid before you bake. Download the BakeryFlow app and start taking orders today.
What “system” means for holiday bakers
- One storefront link per bakery for every holiday menu.
- Open and close dates you control, including early cutoffs before bake day.
- Quantity limits so trays sell out instead of overselling.
- Pickup windows on each order.
- An order list you bake from, then mark packed and picked up.
How pricing behaves under holiday volume
Some bakery platforms charge a published per-order platform fee that grows with sales. BakeryFlow does not take a percent of sales. After a 2-month trial it is $6.99/month or $60/year whether you sell 20 pie preorders or 200 cookie boxes. Card processing is separate if you use Stripe. *Table shows Hotplate’s published 5% + $0.55 platform fee only.
| Monthly sales | Hotplate platform fee* | BakeryFlow |
|---|---|---|
| $500 (~20 × $25) | $36.00 | $6.99 |
| $1,000 (~40 × $25) | $72.00 | $6.99 |
| $2,000 (~80 × $25) | $144.00 | $6.99 |
| $5,000 (~200 × $25) | $360.00 | $6.99 |
Holiday preorders vs weekly sales
Weekly sales train regulars on a cadence. Holiday menus are higher stakes and often one-off. Use the same mechanics: a timed preorder window for selling, bake day for production. Use the holiday calendar when you plan the season.
