Ready Made Cakes & More

Hello,

READY MADE CAKES

Just a reminder that when you sell a Ready Made cake online, it decreases your inventory by a count of 1. I did a quick query a noticed that some stores haven't been updating their inventory count. With Mother's Day approaching, make sure your inventory is accurate.

FUTURE ORDERS

Some stores have inquired about allowing future orders (CUSTOM CAKES, ETC...) to hit their NCR Sales Summary on the day of purchase rather than the day of pickup. There is a brand new setting in Advanced Settings that will allow you to toggle that feature on. Watch video below for a demonstrations.

ONLINE FUNDRAISERS

Several stores have inquired about the ability to do a fundraiser online. That is absolutely possible. You can do it with just your store or you can partner with other local stores who are selling online. Here are a couple of current fundraisers to peak your curiosity.

PayPal Issues

Hello,

For those few stores who are using PayPal as your payment processor...We just received notice from them that their payment notifications are being queued. And, as a result, notifications to the online ordering server are also being delayed. What does this mean to you? Please check your PayPal account for any online orders that have been paid that haven't come through to the register. 

The orders will eventually come through.

This notice also serves as a reminder, that we highly recommend switching over to Square if you are currently using PayPal.

Thanks,

Bret

Cake & Pie Promo

Hello,

For those stores participating in the upcoming $3 off cakes and $1 off pies promo (only those stores who registered prior to April 5th), you should have received the "Spring2021" in your Back Office. If you look, you'll notice the Prompted Amount is 0. This is intentional as all Online Discounts must be a prompted amount of 0 in Back Office. When I push the order to your store, I'll replace 0 with either 3 or 1 depending on the item purchased. 

DO NOT CHANGE THIS VALUE IN BACK OFFICE.

BrustersOnline.com and more...

Hello,

Hopefully everyone is getting comfortable with the online ordering flow and is promoting the program accordingly. Remember...The more "touch points" you can create the more orders you will receive. Yes, you have links to your online store in Google and on your store web page. But Facebook posts, Favorite Flavor emails & texts and Instagram posts are just as productive.

BRUSTERSONLINE.COM
I made some changes over the weekend with respect to our url's. You should no longer see the "azurewebsites.net" name in our url's. A more brand acceptable url will show. "BrustersOnline.com". This will apply to our online menu's as well.

MOTHER'S DAY PROMO
You should have received an inquiry from the Marketing department about opting in to our Mothers Day Cake & Pie promo. Not only is this a great way to sell more cakes and pies, but it's also a great way to introduce your online store to your loyalty database as well as other social media platforms. I highly encourage you to opt in to this promotion

PROMO CODES
I have been fielding some questions relating to using promo codes to build Online Sales and/or general awareness of the Online Ordering platform. Once you create a promo code, you can then promote it on your social media accounts or even create some print advertising to hand out at the window. The image below is an example of what we're handing out at our store after creating a bounceback promo code.

New York Cheesecake Sundae

Hello,

Happy Easter! I hope everyone can find time today to spend with family and/or friends. 

The New York Cheesecake Sundae has been added as an online item. Feel free to go into Advanced Settings and link your "NY Cheesecake Sundae" menu item to the New York Cheesecake Online Item. Remember to set your tax rate and verify your online price. You will need to click on the "Refresh" button to see your newly linked NY Cheesecake Item. 

If you'd like to make the item a "promotional" item by moving it to the top of your menu, just right click on the image in advanced settings.

IMPORTANT!

This product will not prompt the customer for a flavor. NEW YORK CHEESECAKE IS INFERRED. SO IS STRAWBERRY TOPPING. The first popup window the customer will see is the Extras window. So make sure you configure your extras as shown below.

IF YOU DON'T PLAN ON HAVING NEW YORK CHEESECAKE ALL THE TIME DO NOT LINK THIS PRODUCT!

Thanks,

Bret & Colleen

Easter Hours

Hello,

Just wanted to send a friendly reminder that your online store hours are driven by your hours in Boss. If you will have modified hours on Easter, please update ASAP to prevent any future orders from being selected for pickup on a time you may be closed.

Thanks,

Bret & Colleen
