Plan availability: Free. Core Planner, one availability location, and pickup are included. Pro adds additional availability locations and advanced operational capacity. The active production feature matrix is authoritative if an administrator changes an entitlement.
Start from the date or the schedule
Open Planner at /dashboard/planner. Choose Add to Planner or select a day. Planner keeps the date, attached products, inventory, and customer-facing share links together.
Choose the right planning surface
Choose Create Specific Dates/Drops for a limited release, holiday menu, preorder event, or a recurring drop with explicit open and close times.
Choose Weekly Schedule for ongoing pickup or delivery that repeats each week.
Choose a task, event, or blocked date for work that is not a customer order window.
Finish the operating loop
Save the schedule first.
Open the resulting management sheet and review Schedule.
Use Products to attach sellable products and variants.
Use Inventory only when the drop edition needs shared quantity limits.
Use Share when customers need a direct link, QR code, or trackable link.
Common problems
Creating a drop without attaching products produces an empty customer experience.
Changing a recurring occurrence may change only that edition, including its multiple pickup days; choose Edit all dates when the entire series should change.
Weekly schedules store wall-clock hours, so do not treat their values as UTC timestamps.
Plan one drop with several pickup options
Choose One drop for one release, then add blocks for its dates and times. Each pickup block can offer several locations. All blocks in that edition share a menu, inventory, and ordering interval. The Anchor date moves the blocks together while preserving their spacing.
Use a recurring drop for repeating editions. Select the correct edition before editing products or stock, and use Edit all dates when changing the repeating pattern. See the step-by-step shared-drop guide.
Print labels for the bake
After selecting production orders, use Print labels from Orders or Plan a bake to prepare package and piece labels. Label Studio requires Pro and does not change fulfillment or inventory. Follow the printing guide.
Stop or reopen ordering for one edition
Select the edition in Planner and use Customer orders, visible across Schedule, Products, and Inventory. Stop accepting orders immediately closes that edition across all of its pickup days and locations while leaving existing orders, pickups, reservations, and inventory intact. Other recurring editions are unchanged, and the closed edition remains in your Planner.
Reopen orders lets you confirm a future cutoff and choose Reopen orders now. Change cutoff changes only the deadline; a manually closed edition remains closed until you reopen it. Use these controls to finish taking preorders rather than archiving the drop or moving booked pickup blocks. Follow the close, reopen, and cutoff guide.
