What we've learned in 30+ years.
A few small things that make a big difference to how much your drive raises.
-
Tip 1
Delivery times
Once your pie drive orders are all in, we'll contact you and organise a delivery time that suits you. Plan ahead for storage — pies shouldn't sit too long before customers collect them.
-
Tip 2
Packing and sorting
The process works best with minimal staff. Our driver will bring the pies in and lay them out in the same order they appear on the order form. One person should verify each completed order. Trestle tables are ideal.
-
Tip 3
Order cut-offs
There's a cut-off time displayed as a countdown clock on the website page where orders are placed. This typically closes at midnight, two days before delivery.

Tip 4
Promoting the drive
Success relies on consistent promotion — through newsletters and regular order-form reminders. Emphasise that just one meal for each family is all it takes to make the drive a success. Running drives annually builds momentum: previous customers become advocates for next year.
