La Maritxu

 

If you’ve ever been to La Maritxu, you’re likely still craving their famous Basque cheesecake. Founded by three sisters – Maria, Almudena, and Lucia – the bakery’s rapid growth saw daily online orders for their cheesecakes soar from 6 to over 30. To keep up with demand, they needed a direct-to-consumer (D2C) solution that could handle pre-order scheduling and efficiently manage the increasing volume of orders.

 

Challenges

 

  • Online order system overwhelmed by a surge in demand
  • Manual order management led to errors, hindering scalability
  • Struggled to manage high pre-order volumes due to rapid growth

  • Implemented an all-in-one solution to manage delivery, click & collect, loyalty, and CRM in one platform
  • Streamlined D2C pre-order scheduling for smoother production and delivery
  • Offered efficient online ordering to handle increased demand, meeting customer expectations of the brand

 

Results

 

The partnership between Slerp and La Maritxu delivered outstanding results, with the implementation of Slerp’s solutions driving significant business growth. By optimising order management, streamlining delivery, and introducing pre-order scheduling, the bakery achieved remarkable outcomes:

 

  • 7x increase in daily cheesecake orders
