Take preorders for each bake, cap every loaf at what your oven holds, and let the bake plan tell you what to mix on Friday night. Pickup at your porch or your market stall.
One flat monthly price. No fees added to your customers' orders.
One example week, pinned up day by day.
On Sunday you open Saturday's bake: 24 country loaves, 12 seeded, 2 pickup windows at your porch and one at the Thursday market.
By Wednesday the country loaves sell out. Two people ask to hear if more come up, and you add 4.

On Saturday you check names off as people collect.
Next week's windows already exist, because you repeated them.
Everything else is in there too. These are the parts sourdough bakers lean on.
Set how many country and seeded loaves you'll bake. When a cap fills, that loaf stops selling. People can ask to hear if more come up, and if you add more, they're told.
Customers choose the window that suits them. Each order lands in the right window's list, so Saturday is a checklist, not a guessing game.
Orders add up into what to mix, how many of each loaf to shape, and how to bag them by window. Tick it off as you go.
Repeat a window and next week's is already there for customers to book. You change caps and loaves, not the whole setup.
Lots of bakers want customers to sign up for a loaf every week. That isn't ready yet. Today you can repeat windows weekly and customers preorder each bake. We'll tell you when subscriptions are ready.
