Hello!
Just starting out at selling my cakes to real customers. Been doing this for family, friends, and friends of friends. I do get paid for most cakes, but usually take the money well after the event. What's the proper % for deposit at time of contract signing? Is 2 weeks before event date too far ahead for balance due?
Thanks for any info!
I do $100 deposit and balance due 3 weeks before.
We get 50% non-refundable deposit, and final payment due two weeks before the event date.
I do $100 deposit and balance due 3 weeks before.
I do this too, but balance due 10 days before. For pickups I allow the balance to be paid in cash upon pickup. (I guess the first time I have a problem, I'll nix that, but so far its been okay, and I have more deliveries than pickups these days anyway.)
50% non-refundable deposit. full payment one week before delivery/pick up. if they cancel after full payment is made, they dont get anything back.
Thanks for all your input.
Pretty much what I thought.
Hope everyone's businesses are thriving!
Best to all!
I do 50% or $300 which ever is largest. Balance due 2 weeks prior to event. Non refundable!
For weddings, I require a 25% non-refundable deposit with the balance due two weeks before the date. I do the same for large party cakes. For party cakes less than $150, a 50% non-refundable deposit is due at the time of the order, with the balance due at the time of pick-up or delivery, in cash.
