How do I limit how many WhatsApp orders I take in a day?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Last updated
Decide how many orders you can cook well, then count them as you confirm them. When you reach the limit, tell new customers politely and offer the next free day or slot.
- Pick a number you can cook well, not the most you could cook on a perfect day.
- Count an order only when you confirm it, so the number stays honest.
- When full, say so kindly and offer the next free day or slot.
- Update your Status or pinned message so people know before they ask.
- Review the number each week and adjust it.
Stop taking what you cannot cook
On the Menuthere link you can mark items out of stock and offer later slots, so you stop taking orders you cannot cook.
