Microgreens runs on the same weekly order, placed the same chaotic way. Chefs text the order, email it, or leave it in an Instagram DM, and it gets copied into a spreadsheet between cutting and delivering. It works until a message slips past you mid-harvest. In this trade a missed order is a missed delivery, and a restaurant that took months to win will drop a supplier over one bad week. The orders you cannot afford to lose arrive when you have the least time to catch them. ## The microgreens ordering problem Selling microgreens is repeat business, not a one-off sale. The same chefs take the same trays and bags week after week, in small but steady orders where consistency keeps the account. - Accounts are standing orders in all but name - the same pea shoots, sunflower and radish, the same day, most weeks - Orders arrive scattered across text, email and DMs, so there is no single place where the week's orders live - Chefs want it different ways - some take live trays, some want it cut and bagged, some order by the ounce - What you can offer shifts as trays cut - radish in six to eight days, a specialty line only when it is ready - Miss a delivery or send an inconsistent product and you can lose an account you spent months building What helps is not a better spreadsheet. It is letting chefs place and repeat their own standing order, so the week's orders collect themselves while you are in the grow room. ## How Wholesale Handler helps with microgreens orders Your chefs get their own login. They see the varieties you have on, place an order, and you see it on your dashboard. The weekly chase disappears. **Standing orders that repeat themselves.** A chef's weekly order is set once and repeats automatically at your cut-off. They can edit, skip or pause it before the deadline - a closed kitchen on Monday, an extra tray for a function - without re-placing it from scratch. For a trade built on the same order every week, this is the part that earns its keep. **Order by the tray, bag, ounce or pound.** List each variety as its own product in the unit you sell it in. Sell sunflower as a live tray and as a cut bag, and they are simply two products. Chefs enter quantities and see the total before they submit. **Varieties that come and go.** Switch a variety off the moment it sells through and back on when the next trays are ready. Hold a specialty line like shiso or nasturtium for the accounts that pre-order it. Chefs only ever see what they can actually order this week. **Per-customer price lists.** A fine-dining account and a corner café do not pay the same. Assign each customer a price list and each only sees their own prices. **Reorder and history.** Beyond the standing order, chefs can open their history and repeat any past order with new quantities - useful for the accounts that order irregularly. **Invoicing.** Generate invoices from orders one at a time or in a batch, email them, and mark them draft, sent or paid. Export a PDF with your details and payment terms. ## What it doesn't do **No payment or deposit processing.** Chefs pay you directly, on your terms, by bank transfer or however you already arrange it. Wholesale Handler does not hold your customers' money or take a cut of it, which keeps transaction fees off small weekly orders where they would hurt most. **No delivery routing.** Your day and your route stay yours. Many growers already deliver on a set day along a route they know - the software captures the order, it doesn't drive the van. ## Is Wholesale Handler suitable for microgreens growers? For some growers it is not. It depends on how many accounts you run. If you supply two or three chefs you speak to anyway, a text and a fresh sheet are probably enough. It earns its place once you are running enough standing orders that the weekly collecting, copying and chasing has become a job in itself - the grower with five, ten or more restaurant accounts ordering every week. At that point the value is not clever features. It is that every chef can place and repeat their own order, and none of it gets lost between the grow room and the van. ## Pay month to month, cancel anytime Wholesale Handler is month to month with no contract. If a season slows down or you take a break, cancel and come back - your products, customers and price lists are still there when you do. ## Q&A **Q: Is there ordering software for microgreens growers?** A: Yes. Wholesale Handler suits growers who supply chefs and restaurants on a weekly cycle. List each variety and format as its own product priced by the tray, bag, ounce or pound, set a standing order that repeats automatically, and switch varieties on and off as they cut. Chefs place and edit their own orders, and there is no contract. **Q: How do microgreens growers usually take chef orders?** A: Most take them by text, email and the odd Instagram DM, sometimes alongside a printed fresh sheet, then copy them into a spreadsheet. Because microgreens accounts run on the same weekly order, a standing order that repeats itself, with the chef editing before your cut-off, removes the weekly back-and-forth that scatters orders across half a dozen channels. **Q: How much does Wholesale Handler cost?** A: Wholesale Handler costs £30 | US$39 | €35 | CA$55 | A$59 | NZ$70 per month. There are no per-user fees, no transaction fees, and no setup costs. The price is published on the website with no sales call required.
