How do home bakers take orders on WhatsApp?
Updated 30 September 2026
A simple way is the free WhatsApp Business app: a photo catalog of your cakes, quick replies for common questions, and labels to track each order from request to delivery.
- Show your work: put your cakes in the catalog with up to 10 photos each.
- Answer faster: save flavours, sizes, lead time and pickup rules as quick replies. You can store up to 50.
- Track each order: use labels such as New, Deposit paid, Baking and Delivered. You can create up to 20 labels.
- Lock the date: confirm flavour, size, message, date and price in the chat, then take a deposit before you start baking.
- Set limits: an away message tells customers when you are closed or booked up.
Keep every cake order in one place
Menuthere builds your ordering page from a photo of your menu, with sizes and add-ons for each cake. Every order lands in one dashboard and the partner app, so nothing sits unread in a chat.
