How Does This FRESH Bread Delivery Thing Work?

Revised May 5, 2016 am
Ok - Fresh Bread at my doorstep sounds good to me - how does this work?

There are two varieties of artisan bread available (Rosemary Thyme and Double Flax) for
delivery each Monday and Thursday evening - at your door.  The store shows four options - 2 for Monday and 2 for Thursday delivery.

Simply, you go to the web store (squareup.com/store/my-fresh-bread-company), click on the 'flavor' of bread you want, mark the number of loaves you want  (they come in 1# size on Monday, but both 1# and 1.5# loaves on Thursday).  You pay with a credit card.  I get your address, email and phone number for delivery purposes (but not your credit card info) and then you wait for the bread - a few hours after the finished loaf comes out of the oven.

The web store is located at squareup.com/store/my-fresh-bread-company

Hours - The store is online and doesn't close.  BUT  orders to be delivered on Monday, must be entered by noon on Sunday (to give me time to mix the dough and bake it so it is FRESH and flavorful and ready).  Likewise, orders to be delivered on Thursday, must be entered by noon on Wednesday.  If an order is received after the cut off time, the order will be interpreted as relating to the following week on the same day.  For example, an order received at 3pm on Sunday for Monday Rosemary/Thyme Artisan Bread (cut off is noon), the order will be interpreted as intending delivery on the following Monday.  Email me if you have any questions.

Limited Quantity - There are a limited number of loaves available of each variety each baking day - but the web store will not let you order if the quantities are all sold.  If the quantity sells out quickly, I may add more to the available list.  So, if you are counting on some fresh bread, but missed out
- check back.

Limited Delivery Area-  This is only available for sale and delivery to a limited area - near my home/bakery - to enable easy delivery while the bread is FRESH.  The delivery area is the entire Canyon Ridge area in University City, San Diego.  

Special Orders - Large special orders will be considered.  Email me at the address at the lower part of this post and let's see what we can do to make this a win/win.


Future
  • I have ten more varieties of bread which have been approved for sale by the County. Once we make sure the store is working and you are comfortable with the web store ordering process (and the delivery routine), varieties will be added to the store.  And, there is no reason that sizes need to be limited to 1#.  A 2 pound loaf is a beauty to behold.  
  • Wouldn't it be great to be able to order for a 4-week period at one time?  Ordering for each individual baking day is only slightly more convenient than going to the store.   Subscriptions are planned in the near future to allow you to order for up to a 4-week period whether you want one loaf a week or every variety every day it's baked.  
  • What about a 'larger' service area with a local pickup spot?  That is, rather than limiting this service to residences within walking area of my oven, what if virtually anyone could order - and then pick up at a central location??  The bread would be baked based on orders received, and then the packaged bread would be packed up and taken to a central location, where the buyers would pick it up.  

Pepper Chese Bread - tangy, but pleasant
