Hey fellow bakery friends or anyone that does pre-orders for specific days!    I just tried something new that I wanted to share. I know we've all been wanting to have the ability to offer specific items on only specific days for the online store. While we still wait for that, I tried something for my Mother's Day orders this year. I created a second location called Holiday Sales that was the same address as my shop. I made my Mother's Day specific items available only at the Holiday Sales location. Then I blocked off the days leading up to my 3 available days so the system automatically defaulted to the first available pick-up date.    Pros: I didn't have to add modifiers to have customers select their specific dates and then get confused when their receipt said a different date All contained in one location so it didn't get confusing with my regular orders for those days in terms of tickets and order management in square   Cons: Because of the locations, we did have to switch back and forth between locations to manage the pick-ups day of. I did solve this by using a cell phone with Square for the mother's day items and then our ipad for our usual orders.  A customer couldn't order both our Mother's Day items and regular items at the same time. I don't know if anyone tried since we didn't get any phone calls asking about it. But that's something to consider.    What other work arounds have you found for your pre-sales? Or other items that are only available on specific dates?  ... View more
