Last Christmas on file

Who bought what, and what they spent

Ready

This is the part that pays for itself — every year after.

This isn’t ordinary e-commerce

A payment is not the same as an order.

Christmas food orders carry considerably more information than an ordinary online purchase.

Products have sizes, quantities, portions and preparation options. Customers order weeks or months ahead and need to choose a collection point, date and time. Kitchens need totals. Packing teams need individual order details. Collection and delivery teams need to find every order quickly.

A conventional online shop can take the payment. Tenvito organises what happens next.

One order. Every team connected.

From customer choice to collection.

1

Customer orders

Products, quantities, options, location, date and collection time — weeks or months ahead.

2

Paid and confirmed

Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Order and payment confirmations go out automatically.

3

Order preparation

Product totals show what must be made — on screen, or printed for the premises.

4

Team packs

Individual order information helps the team prepare each customer’s order.

5

Collected or delivered

Orders can be searched and organised by collection date, time and delivery round.

No retyping forms. No chasing missing information. No piecing Christmas together from emails, calls and spreadsheets.

What’s in the order book

Everything your Christmas order book needs.

Developed with real food merchants working to very specific requirements — the dates, cut-offs, product options and collection rules they actually needed, not a generic shop with a Christmas banner.

Structured orders

Capture products, quantities, sizes, preparation options and customer information properly the first time.

Ordering months ahead

Open the order book weeks or months before Christmas, so customers commit early and you can buy and plan against real numbers.

Dates, times and locations

Let customers choose the correct collection or delivery date, time and location.

Order cut-offs

Ordering stops when the kitchen needs final numbers — automatically, at the time you set, not when someone remembers to take a form down.

Quantity controls

Set the amount available. When it is sold, ordering closes automatically.

Paid in advance

Customers commit when they order. The business receives payment before purchasing, preparing or packing.

Automatic confirmations

Order and payment confirmations go to the customer on their own, with the collection details on them. Nobody types a reply.

Live product totals

See the total quantity required for every product instead of adding it up across individual orders.

Reports on screen and on paper

Production and packing information can be worked from a screen or printed out for the kitchen, the bench and the counter.

Packing, collection and delivery

Organise orders by customer, date, collection time and delivery round so the team can prepare for the rush.

Searchable order book

Find the order by customer, order number or collection details without searching through inboxes or paper forms.

Talking to customers

Message customers about their order, a change to a collection time, or the next thing you have coming.

The part that pays for itself

Every Christmas order is a customer you can market to all year — and again next Christmas.

The order book does not just get you through December. It builds a record of who bought, what they bought, what they spent and how to reach them — and that record is yours.

During the year

Tell them the Easter range is open, the summer boxes are back, the celebration cakes are taking bookings.

Next Christmas

Open the book to last year’s customers first, before anyone else hears about it. Invite them back the moment the new Christmas range opens.

One customer record

Products, dates, spend and contact preferences build up in one place, ready for whatever you launch next.

One system. Every peak, and every ordinary week.

Built for Christmas. Ready for whatever comes next.

Once the Christmas operation is finished, the same structured order book runs the rest of the year — including the everyday trade.

Daily order book

The everyday one. Tomorrow’s collections, taken today.

Easter ranges
Thanksgiving
Eid and Diwali
Valentine’s and Mother’s Day
Celebration cakes and catering
Hampers and gifting

Smaller food business

Set up a Christmas order book yourself and start taking orders the same day. No developer, no agency, no new equipment.

Larger and multi-location

For larger food businesses, catering teams and multi-location operators, we will work through the products, kitchens, locations and fulfilment process with you and build the order book around it.

What local businesses say

“Switching to a digital order book before Christmas was one of the best business decisions we have made!”

Tara Copplestone
Foxglove Cocktails

The order book has been developed with real food merchants working to very specific requirements. From independent producers to established food businesses, Tenvito has been built around how food orders are actually taken, prepared and handed over.

Questions

The things food businesses ask first.

Is this another online shop? +

No. Tenvito can provide the customer ordering journey, but its real value is structuring each order for preparation, packing, collection and delivery.

Do we need a developer to set it up? +

No. You set it up yourself from the dashboard — products, dates, cut-offs and collection times. No developer, no agency, no new equipment on the counter.

Can Tenvito work alongside our existing website? +

Yes. Add a Tenvito order button or link to the site you already have. Your main website stays exactly as it is.

Can customers choose collection dates and times? +

Yes. Collection options, dates, service times and order cut-offs can be configured around your operation, and the book can open weeks or months before the collection dates themselves.

Can we deliver as well as offer collection? +

Yes. Collection and delivery can both be offered, each with their own dates, times and cut-offs, and orders can be organised by delivery round as well as by collection slot.

Can we limit Christmas products? +

Yes. Product availability can be controlled so ordering stops when the available quantity has sold.

Do customers pay when ordering? +

Yes. Tenvito supports online card payments, including Apple Pay and Google Pay through the connected payment provider, and order and payment confirmations go to the customer automatically.

Can it support a larger or multi-location business? +

Talk to us about your products, kitchens, locations and collection process and we will work through how the order book should be built around it.

Do customers need an app? +

No. Customers order through a web link. Nothing to download.

How quickly can we begin? +

A straightforward order book can be set up in one sitting. Larger seasonal operations are worth planning and testing before the book opens.

Start here

Build the order book before the orders arrive.

Set it up in one sitting, open it months ahead, and let Christmas fill it in.
