MyCake vs WhatsApp: chat on WhatsApp, organize in MyCake
WhatsApp is where customers reach you — and it should stay that way. The problem is using the chat as your calendar: orders vanish in the message flow, deposits go untracked and you re-quote constantly. MyCake organizes orders by date and takes deposits online, leaving WhatsApp to do what it does best: talk to customers.
WhatsApp is great for conversation
Nobody has to stop using WhatsApp — it's where customers ask, negotiate and confirm. The point is not to rely on it to remember every order.
But a chat isn't a calendar
In the message flow, an order disappears easily, the deposit stays informal, and you can't see the production week. Wrong dates and forgotten orders cost customers.
- Orders lost in the chat
- Deposits with no record of what was paid
- No view of the production week
MyCake organizes what WhatsApp can't
With the digital catalog, the customer orders by a link and pays a deposit; the order lands in the calendar with date and amount. You keep chatting on WhatsApp, but organization lives in MyCake — in £.
