Food and specialist retail: Enquiry form for chocolatiers
An enquiry form for chocolatiers that asks corporate customers for box layout, company branding, quantities and delivery date, so a corporate gift does not get stuck in the final week.
What makes an enquiry complete for chocolatiers.
Corporate enquiries to chocolatiers tend to arrive late and incomplete. An office manager emails in November wanting something with the company logo for all staff, with no quantity, delivery address or budget. Then come emails about which box, whether the chocolates may contain alcohol, whether the logo goes on the chocolate itself or on the sleeve and whether the logo they sent is even printable. Meanwhile production capacity for December fills up. If the sleeve design takes weeks to approve, the printer's lead time has already run out. Private customers wanting wedding favours forget the date or the number of guests.

From form to assessed enquiry.
Guide by type of request
The form first asks whether it is a corporate gift, a favour for an event or a one-off order. After that, only the questions relevant to that type appear: quantities, preferred box layout, alcohol and nuts yes or no, and the date everything must arrive. Anyone unsure about the layout can ask for a tasting selection.
Check logo and delivery date
Anyone wanting branding uploads the logo and chooses where it goes: on the sleeve, on a card or on the chocolate itself. The form warns if the file looks too small or blurry. If the requested date is too close for printing, the form says so straight away and offers ordering without a logo.
Hand the request to the chocolatier
The chocolatier receives a summary with request type, quantities, box layout, ingredient wishes, logo and delivery date. Anything missing is shown at the top. The customer gets a confirmation explaining what happens next: first a proposal, then a tasting selection if needed, then final approval.
Enquiries in one place, not the inbox.
Corporate enquiries currently arrive by email, phone or a conversation in the shop. The form does not replace all of that, but gives the shop a fixed list for entering phone enquiries too. The result goes to the existing mailbox or order system. Logos are stored with the enquiry and later passed on to the printer. The customer owns the logo; the chocolatier decides whether the delivery date and layout are feasible.
Open request or fixed options
An open text box lets the customer explain what they want, but produces requests you still have to untangle. Fixed options for box size, layout and printing make the request usable immediately. Fixed choices plus one field for special requests give the customer room without leaving the chocolatier guessing.
Logo now or after the proposal
Asking for the logo upfront lets you judge the printing right away and know whether the file is usable. A customer who is still undecided may see it as a hurdle. Making it optional, with a note that it shortens the lead time, usually brings in enough early files in practice.
Stating a minimum order or not
Printed sleeves and cards often have a minimum print run at the printer. Mentioning that in the form avoids disappointment on small requests. Anyone below that minimum can then choose a collection without printing or with a handwritten card instead, so the enquiry is not lost.

Ready at the start: the request form for corporate and event orders, with questions about quantities, box layout, ingredient wishes, logo and delivery date, plus the overview where the chocolatier sees what is still missing. Together we replay two requests: corporate gifts that arrive well before the holidays, and a late request where printing is no longer feasible. Letting customers request tasting selections and turning a request into a quote in the same software can be switched on once the form runs smoothly.

Explore pricing and optionsCan the form tell whether a delivery date is still achievable?
The form knows the preparation time you allow for printing and large quantities, and warns when the requested date falls inside it. Whether it is truly achievable is the chocolatier's decision, because it also depends on what is already scheduled that week.
What if the customer has no usable logo?
The form flags that the file looks too small or blurry, and the customer can send a better one. If that fails, the chocolatier can propose printing the company name in a suitable typeface instead. That option is included in the proposal.
Can we ask about recipients' allergies?
Yes. The form asks whether any recipients must avoid alcohol, nuts or other ingredients. The chocolatier can then suggest a layout without them, or make up a few boxes separately. That prevents boxes coming back afterwards.
Does the form work for weddings and favours too?
Yes, with its own route. Those requests are usually about small boxes or bags per guest, a date and perhaps names or a line of text on a card. The form only asks what is needed and leaves out the questions about company branding.
