Booked the night the invitations went out.

A party in two months is decided at ten at night on a phone. The page takes the date, the window and the notes then, while somebody is still thinking about it.

The weekend everybody wants is the one you only have once.

Confirmations leave the public page as they are taken, so a warm Saturday is either genuinely open or genuinely gone. Nobody is being offered a date you gave away a fortnight ago, and nobody is ringing to find out.

Staff afternoon

Three short bookings, one afternoon, three arrival times.

None of these is a day’s work on its own. Each one has its own arrival, its own serving window and its own place to stand, and they only add up to a Saturday if the loading and the pack-down are held inside the blocks instead of assumed in the gaps between them.

Where the van ends up

Written for the weekends that carry the year

School fairs

Hold school fairs, the compact access and van or dessert cart on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Wedding desserts

Hold wedding desserts, the village-hall slot and van or dessert cart on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Company family days

Hold company family days, the office lift time and van or dessert cart on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Birthday visits

Hold birthday visits, the courtyard setup and van or dessert cart on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Community fetes

Hold community fetes, the wet-weather cover and van or dessert cart on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Sports presentations

Hold sports presentations, the evening turnaround and van or dessert cart on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Festival pitches

Hold festival pitches, the Sunday booking and van or dessert cart on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Winter treats

Hold winter treats, the venue close and van or dessert cart on one record, so the crew arrives with the right brief.

Run the service day from one record.

Keep the dessert van booking, venue time and organiser notes close while the crew handles compact venue bookings.

  • Arrival is part of the job

    Hold access and arrival notes for the dessert van booking where short setup windows and dependable wet-weather cover can disrupt the plan.

  • The crew sees the same brief

    Put the van or dessert cart, guest notes and venue access together before anyone starts prep for compact venue bookings.

  • Changes stay attached

    Update guest count, dessert selection and serving time on the booking for compact venue bookings, rather than leaving the latest detail in a stray message.

The big function is priced once, not across a fortnight.

Guest numbers, the serving window and a second server on one document somebody approves. The scope everyone agreed to stays with the date instead of living halfway down a thread.

In peak fortnight, knowing who came back matters.

Half a season’s enquiries arrive in the same two weeks. Seeing which quotes were opened and which are still sitting tells you who to ring before somebody else takes that Saturday.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your dessert van business.

Online booking

Customers book an available dessert van booking online with date, window and notes. Confirmation closes that compact venue bookings slot.

Scheduling

Block stock prep, travel, serving and clean-down for compact venue bookings. Keep the van or dessert cart clear through service and pack-down.

Standing bookings

Repeat ice-cream and dessert service weekly or monthly. On compact venue bookings, it may continue, end on a date or stop after a set count.

One dessert van, one booking

Commit the van or dessert cart to the confirmed service window for compact venue bookings. That capacity disappears from public availability.

Estimates

Build a quote for guest count, dessert selection and serving time on compact venue bookings; keep the agreed scope with the booking.

Email reminders

Email reminders give compact venue bookings times and access details. The organiser can confirm access before the van or dessert cart is due.

Customers

Keep the organiser, venue and past ice-cream and dessert service work together. For compact venue bookings, use the real booking, not old messages.

Team

Share the van or dessert cart, call time and service notes for compact venue bookings. Everyone sees one brief before prep, loading or handover.

Payments

Free records cash or bank transfer for the dessert service fee. Pro takes full card payment online for compact venue bookings on the booking.
