Move browsing, ordering and payment online before collection.
Cake shed click and collect
Move cake shed sales into online ordering and collection.
Membber is not a legal shortcut and it does not replace council checks. It helps home bakers run a clearer flow: customers order online, pay online, collect at the right time and keep the pass for the next bake drop.

Control collection windows so customers do not arrive all at once.

Launch plan

Check food registration, environmental health, planning and street trading questions with your local council. Keep written replies.
Order flow
Use an online menu, online payment and collection windows instead of relying only on walk-up honesty-box buying.
Collection point
Give clear collection instructions and avoid creating queues, parking issues or surprise visitor spikes.
Return flow
Use the saved pass for the next bake drop, repeat-customer reward or member-only collection offer.
Use cases
Where this fits best.
Home bakery drops
Post a link, cap quantities and let customers order before the stock is gone.
Pre-paid collection
Take payment before the customer arrives, then hand over a labelled order.
Birthday and event bakes
Use the pass to keep one-off cake-order customers connected for future orders.
Honesty-box upgrade
Move from ad hoc shed sales toward a more controlled online-order and collection model.
Feature fit
Why Membber is a good fit.
Online menu and payment
Customers can choose and pay before they arrive, giving the baker a clearer record than cash or ad hoc shed payment.
Collection windows
Set collection times so demand from Instagram, local groups or returning customers does not turn into a queue.
Wallet passes
Customers save the cake shed so they can come back for future drops, rewards or member-only bakes.
Compliance-friendly records
Membber can show orders, payments and collection details, but the baker still needs to check council, food, planning, insurance and tax obligations.
Questions
Plain answers before you start.
Does Membber make a cake shed legal?
No. Membber is not legal advice and does not remove food registration, licensing, planning, tax or insurance obligations. It helps create a clearer online order, payment and collection flow.
Can click and collect help with council questions?
It can make the operating model easier to explain because customers order and pay before collection. Councils can still consider the location, access, traffic, signage, complaints and whether the setup needs permission.
Do customers need to download an app?
No. Customers can open a link or scan a QR code in the browser, order, pay and save a pass for the next bake drop.
