Frequently Asked Questions
How much lead time should bakeries require for custom cake orders?
Most bakeries set 48-72 hours lead time for custom cakes, and 1-2 weeks for wedding cakes. Bird lets you set different preparation times per product, so simple items can have shorter lead times while elaborate custom orders have longer ones.
Can I set different pickup times for morning pastries vs custom cakes?
Yes, you can create different schedules for different product types. Morning pastries might have pickup from 7 AM - 10 AM, while custom cakes could have afternoon pickup slots.
How do bakeries handle weekend order rushes?
Set order limits for Saturday and Sunday to prevent overbooking. You can also block certain time slots during peak hours or require earlier cutoff times for weekend orders.
