Today was a huge learning experience for me. ββ€οΈ
This morning, I finished a 20-drink order for a Bonduel factory thanks to Dahlia. While the order was originally scheduled for 6:30 a.m., I underestimated how much time it would take to make that many frappes, especially when they're all different flavors and include bucket sizes.
I'll admit, I was feeling the pressure. I wanted everything to be perfect, and my anxiety definitely tried to convince me to rush. Thankfully, Dahlia reminded me that everything would be okay, that I didn't need to overthink it, and that every large order is another opportunity to learn and grow. I'm so grateful for her patience, encouragement, and for trusting me with such a big order.
Working out of my home has taught me just how much preparation, space, and equipment larger orders require. Right now, I'm only able to make a couple of frappes at a time, which makes orders like this take quite a while. It also reminds me why my daughter and I are working so hard toward our dream of owning a food truck. Having the extra space for inventory and equipment will allow us to serve larger orders much more efficiently.
To everyone who continues to support our little mother-and-daughter business, thank you. Every order, every share, every recommendation, and every word of encouragement brings us one step closer to that dream. β€οΈ
With that being said, I'm officially logging off for a much-needed break. I will respond to messages and orders as soon as I can.
Just a reminder: Wednesday is completely sold out. Most of today's inventory has been spoken for, and I am finishing up the remaining pre-orders scheduled for today.
π© If I haven't responded to your message yet, I promise I'll get back to you before the end of the day. Thank you all so much for your patience, your understanding, and for supporting us as we continue to grow. π€β
