Forty loaves a day. Monday's orders open on Saturday.
A daily capacity taken two days ahead. Customers pick a loaf and a pickup time, see their number for the day they ordered for, and when that day is full the form says when the next one opens.

The problem
The preorder Google Form takes 90 orders for 40 loaves
You open a Google Form on Sunday night and by Tuesday it has more orders than you can bake. Someone has to email the people who missed out. The form does not know it is 10:15 AM, so orders keep coming in while the dough is already shaped.

How it works here
How the list works
Daily capacity
Forty entries a day, reset at 6:00 AM. Tomorrow starts at zero.
A morning cutoff
Opening hours from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM. At 10:01 the form is closed and says so.
Loaf and quantity
A dropdown for the loaf and a number field capped at four. Both land in the CSV.
Pickup time
A multiple-choice field for the window. You bag orders in pickup order.
The bake list
Export today as CSV, or webhook each order into a sheet on Pro.
Same link every day
The QR on the counter and the link in your bio never change.
Why it holds up
What matters most
The list closes at ten, on the dot
The cutoff is enforced by the server in your time zone. No more late orders.
Tomorrow's list opens itself
You do not make a new form. The count resets and the hours reopen.
Regulars know the drill
"Opens again tomorrow at 6:00 AM" is shown to everyone who misses today.
One order per email
Dedupe stops one customer from taking four slots with four submissions.
FAQ
Questions people here ask
Can customers pay for the loaf online?
No. Unwaited does not take payments. Most bakeries take payment at pickup or send a link from their POS.
Does the cap count loaves or orders?
Orders. If you set 40 and allow four loaves each, you could bake up to 160. Set the cap to the number of orders you can fill, or limit quantity to one.
What about days we are closed?
Leave them out of the opening hours. Visitors see the next open morning.
