How it works

How does Orders Due This Week work?

Orders Due This Week shows which cakes are due in one week. You type the first day of the week, then list each order with its customer, cake, due date, status and whether it is paid. Every row says This week or Other week, and the count of cakes due this week sits at the bottom.

Set the week

Type the week start. Days in the week is seven, shown beside it.

List the orders

Customer, cake name, due date, then Status and Paid from the drop-downs.

Read the flag

Each row says This week or Other week, as a symbol and a word. The count of cakes due this week sits at the bottom.

The sample in the file

The week of 2026-10-05: six sample orders, three of them due this week.

Change the week and every flag follows

Type a new week start and each row re-checks its due date. Status and Paid are drop-downs, and each choice is a symbol and a word, so the sheet still reads when you print it in black and white.

Good to know before you buy

  • It does not read another file. Type or paste your orders in.
  • A blank due date stays blank. It is never an error.

Opens in the app you use

Excel opens the .xlsx file as it is. For Google Sheets, upload the file to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets. There is a How to use tab in the file.

Questions

Questions about this sheet

What is the best app for bakery orders?

Orders Due This Week is not an app. It is an editable spreadsheet for $4.99 that opens in Excel and Google Sheets and shows which cakes are due in the week you choose. If you want customers to place orders themselves, you need a different tool.

What is the best free app for managing bakery orders?

Orders Due This Week is neither an app nor free. It is a spreadsheet at $4.99 in which you type your orders and the sheet flags the ones due this week. It does not read another file, so you type or paste the orders in.

What is the best bakery management software?

Orders Due This Week is not management software. It does one job: it shows which cakes are due this week and how many there are. Cake Order Form and Bakery Order Form hold the cake details and the money.

How to get orders for your home bakery?

Orders Due This Week does not bring in orders. It helps once they arrive: type each order with its due date, and the sheet shows which ones fall in the week you set.

What is a typical work schedule for a baker?

A baker’s week depends on the orders, so the sheet does not assume a schedule. Type the first day of the week and the sheet flags every cake due in it, so you see how full the week is.

Can I use Google Forms as an order form?

Google Forms collects answers from your customers, while Orders Due This Week is where you see which of your orders are due. Open the file in Google Sheets by uploading the .xlsx to Google Drive.
