Food sellers & home kitchens

Food order form template

Selling food from a home kitchen or a market stall means the order arrives however the customer feels like sending it — a comment, a text, a shout across the table. By Friday you're rebuilding one order list from three apps and a memory.

This template is the general-purpose food order sheet the bakery and catering forms are built from: your menu priced per portion, a required pickup date and slot, and dietary notes captured in writing before you cook.

Field by field

What to put on a food order form

  • Menu items priced per portion

    Naming the portion — "feeds 4", "box of 6" — turns a price list into a planning tool. Customers order the right amount and you cook to real numbers.

  • A required pickup date and slot

    Without a slot everyone arrives at noon. A date sorts your prep into cook days; a slot spreads collection so your doorway isn't a queue.

  • Per-item caps as your kitchen valve

    A max quantity per dish is how much you can genuinely cook. Set it and the form can't sell the thirteenth family curry you don't have pans for.

  • Allergies as one open line, not a "none" tick-box

    A "no allergies" box can be ticked next to a real allergy in the notes, and you get a ticket that contradicts itself. One free-text line, plus "leave blank if none", keeps it honest — and read it back in your confirmation.

Food order form template FAQ

+What should a food order form include?

Your menu items with prices and portion sizes, a maximum per dish, a required pickup date and slot, spice or preparation choices where they apply, an allergy and dietary notes line, and the customer's phone number.

+Can I use this if I sell from a home kitchen?

Yes — it's built for exactly that. State in the description that food is made in a home kitchen and list the allergens you handle, so customers can decide before they order.

+How do I stop taking orders once I'm full?

Set a maximum quantity on each dish, and close the form when you're at capacity. The online form's link stays live and tells customers you're not taking orders right now.

+Is there a Google Sheets version?

Download the .xlsx and upload it to Google Drive — it opens as a Google Sheet with the formulas intact. We don't host "make a copy" Google links, so this is the reliable route.

+Is the online version free?

Yes — free while we're in beta, with unlimited forms and unlimited orders, and totals worked out for you on every order.

One menu, one link, one prep list.
