"More organized and timely cake orders with tasks and subtasks"

4/5

What do you like best about Asana?

I have a small custom cake business and I used to write down orders in a notebook, delivery date, flavor, and if it had any special decoration. The problem was that sometimes I forgot to check the notebook on the day I needed to start baking something, and I ended up working at night to not let a client down. Now each order is a task with subtasks for each stage, baking, filling, decorating, and each with its own date. Last week I saw in advance that I had two big cakes on the same day and was able to organize my hours better instead of realizing it the night before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asana?

At first, I struggled to get used to creating a new task every time an order came in, it felt like an extra step compared to just quickly writing it down in the notebook, so some orders went unrecorded the first two weeks until I got into the habit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Asana solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not relying solely on my memory or a notebook that sometimes stayed at home has significantly changed how I organize the week. Seeing the dates coming in advance instead of discovering them on the same day has saved me from more than one night working late. Creating the task each time was an adjustment at first, it felt slower than just jotting something down by hand, but now it's a normal part of how I receive an order.
