Food and specialist retail: Enquiry form for cheesemongers
An enquiry form for cheesemongers that asks for portion weight, number of guests and collection time, so an order for a party or company drinks is right before anything is cut.
What makes an enquiry complete for cheesemongers.
Phone orders at cheesemongers are often vague. Someone wants a cheese board for a party on Saturday and a piece of old cheese, without saying for how many people, how big the piece should be or what time they will come. The person answering writes it on a note that hangs by the counter. On Saturday morning it turns out that extra mature would have been fine instead of old, that one guest does not eat cow's milk and that the customer is at the door at nine rather than eleven. Businesses ordering tasting boxes forget the delivery address or billing details. Cutting without that information leads to returned pieces and lost time.

From form to assessed enquiry.
Choose the type of order
The form starts with a choice: individual cheeses, a cheese board or tasting box, or an order for a business. For individual cheeses it asks for the weight or number of people per variety. For a board it asks how many guests and whether it is a starter, main course or drinks.
Check preferences and timing
The form asks about preferences that affect cutting: raw milk cheese or not, no cow's milk, no hard rind, pre-cut or in one piece. The collection time is chosen from slots that are still free. For a business order, billing details and a delivery address are added.
Ready for the counter
The shop receives the order on the order screen or as a ticket, with varieties, weights, preferences and collection time. Any unclear wish is shown at the top. The customer gets a confirmation with the collection time and a note that the actual weight may vary slightly.
Enquiries in one place, not the inbox.
Orders currently come in by phone, email, at the counter or through a web shop. The form also gives staff on the phone a fixed route to follow, so phone and online orders arrive in the same way. The result goes to the shop's order list or till system. The customer owns their preferences; the shop decides whether a collection time is feasible and what to substitute when stock is short.
Asking for weight or number of guests
A regular knows exactly how many grams they want. A new customer organising a party thinks in guests. The form allows both and does not convert guests to weight automatically. The cheesemonger does that while preparing, using their own judgement of what people eat at that kind of occasion.
Pre-cut or in one piece
Pre-cut cubes or slices are convenient for the customer but dry out faster and take time at the counter. A piece keeps better but means the customer cuts it themselves. The form lets the customer choose and gives a brief explanation of the difference, so they know what they are picking.
Ordering until the day before or the morning
Taking orders up to the morning itself is customer-friendly but makes a busy morning busier. A cut-off the day before gives time to cut and pack calmly. Small orders can have a shorter window, boards and boxes a longer one, set per type of order.

The order form for loose cheeses, cheese boards and company orders is ready straight away, with questions about weight or number of guests, wishes and collection time, as is the order screen for behind the counter. What we replay beforehand: an ordinary birthday order, and an order where one guest eats no cow's milk and the customer arrives earlier than planned. Repeat orders for regular customers and the link with the till can be switched on once the form runs smoothly.
View pricingHosting and careGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsCan customers say they do not want raw milk cheese?
Yes. The form asks about such preferences, such as no raw milk, no cow's milk or no blue cheese. They appear on the order, so whoever cuts sees them. For a board the cheesemonger then picks other varieties with a similar taste.
What if the customer does not know how much cheese they need?
They enter the number of guests and the occasion. The cheesemonger decides the quantity while preparing. The confirmation shows roughly what will be made, so the customer can still adjust if it seems too much or too little.
Can we enter phone orders in this form too?
Yes, and that is the intention. Staff fill in the same fields during the call that the customer would online. Every order then arrives the same way and the notes by the counter disappear. Every caller is asked the same questions.
How do we handle orders from businesses?
They get their own route with billing details, number of boxes and an optional delivery address. Large quantities go to the shop as an enquiry, which confirms whether it is feasible. A company drinks order is never scheduled as if it were an ordinary order.
