# Proof of delivery for florists and bakeries

Proof of delivery for florists and bakeries is a SaaS idea for florists, bakeries and gift shops that run their own local deliveries, priced to test at $29 a month per shop, two drivers included. When a customer says the flowers never arrived, the shop has only the driver’s word. With it, drivers mark each local delivery done with a photo and a name, and the customer hears the moment it lands.

_Published 19 Oct 2026. A starting point we wrote, not market research: run the 7-day test before you build._

## What problem does it solve?

When a customer says the flowers never arrived, the shop has only the driver’s word. Customers also call to ask where their order is, which ties up the counter on busy days.

**Why now:** Customers expect a delivery photo from big delivery apps, but a shop with one or two drivers doesn’t need a full routing suite.

## What do they use today?

Most shops give drivers a printed list or a message with the day’s addresses. A delivery is confirmed by the driver saying so, and customers who want an update ring the shop.

## How does it work?

At the start of the day the shop imports its orders from a spreadsheet, and each driver opens the day’s list on their phone. At every drop-off the driver takes a photo and types the recipient’s name, and the customer gets an email with the photo. The shop keeps the record, so a claim that an order never arrived can be settled.

## What goes in the first version?

- The day’s delivery list on the driver’s phone
- A photo and the recipient’s name at each drop-off
- An email to the customer with the photo
- A record to settle “it never arrived” disputes
- Import the day’s orders from a spreadsheet

## Who pays, and how much?

- **Who pays:** Florists, bakeries and gift shops that run their own local deliveries
- **Price to test:** $29 a month per shop, two drivers included

A flat price per shop, with a couple of drivers included, suits a small business that does not want to count seats. It replaces the printed lists and phone calls the shop uses today.

## How to test it in 7 days

1. Ask five local florists how they handle missing-delivery complaints.
2. Join a florist owners’ Facebook group and read posts about delivery disputes.
3. Track one shop’s deliveries in a shared sheet for a week, then show them the product.

## Where to find the first customers

- Florist and bakery owner groups on Facebook
- Local business associations
- Wholesale flower markets

## What are the risks?

- Most deliveries cluster around holidays, so usage is seasonal.
- Shops on big e-commerce platforms may get delivery apps there.

## How to build it on shipanysaas

4 of the parts it needs are already in the kit, the phone app with the All-in plan. Get the kit, open it in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, and paste the starting prompt.

**Already in the kit:** Teams and roles, Billing, Emails, Phone app with All-in

**You build:**

- Driver delivery list and drop-off flow
- Photo upload and customer email
- Order import from a spreadsheet

### The starting prompt

```text
You are in a fresh copy of the shipanysaas starter kit, a pnpm and Turborepo monorepo: the Next.js web app is in apps/web and the Supabase database, with its migrations, in apps/web/supabase; with the All-in plan, the Expo phone app is in apps/native. Help me build the first version of Proof of delivery for florists and bakeries.

Read AGENTS.md first, then the AGENTS.md in every folder you work in: the kit's rules there win over your defaults. When a skill in .agents/skills (also in .claude/skills and .cursor/skills) matches a task, use it.

## The product
- What it does: Drivers mark each local delivery done with a photo and a name, and the customer hears the moment it lands.
- Who pays: Florists, bakeries and gift shops that run their own local deliveries
- Their problem: When a customer says the flowers never arrived, the shop has only the driver’s word. Customers also call to ask where their order is, which ties up the counter on busy days.
- Price to test: $29 a month per shop, two drivers included (a plan in apps/web/config/billing.config.ts)

## Build only this first version
1. The day’s delivery list on the driver’s phone
2. A photo and the recipient’s name at each drop-off
3. An email to the customer with the photo
4. A record to settle “it never arrived” disputes
5. Import the day’s orders from a spreadsheet

## Already in the kit: reuse it, never rebuild it
- Teams and roles: team accounts with members, roles and invitations
- Billing: Stripe or Lemon Squeezy subscriptions, per seat or usage-based, and one-off payments
- Emails: transactional email through Resend or Nodemailer
- Phone app: an iPhone, iPad and Android app on the same backend (All-in plan)

## New code it needs
- Driver delivery list and drop-off flow
- Photo upload and customer email
- Order import from a spreadsheet

## How to work
1. Plan first: list the database tables (with row-level security, so each team only sees its own rows), the pages and the server actions for the first feature. Then stop and wait for my OK.
2. Build one feature at a time with the kit's own UI and form components, with a migration for every schema change and user-facing text in the translation files.
3. After each feature, run the verification steps in AGENTS.md, fix what they find, and tell me what you built and what comes next.

## Rules
- Ask me before you add a dependency, delete a file, or change sign-in, billing or the admin panel.
- Leave the parts of the kit this product doesn't use as they are.
- If apps/native is not in your copy (the Starter plan), build the web app only.

Done when every first-version feature works for a signed-in team and the AGENTS.md checks pass.
