School Fundraiser Pickup Slots That Spread the Rush
Let families choose when to collect their orders on your free Proximatic signup. Limit each time to the number your volunteers can serve and see who is coming.
Fundraiser pickup shouldn’t end with every family in the car line at 3:30. Give them a choice of pickup windows and give your volunteers a manageable set of arrivals to prepare for.
In Proximatic, each window has its own number of places. If your crew can handle six pickups in fifteen minutes, offer six places at 3:30 and six at 3:45. As families choose the first window, those places fill; the later window remains available for the next arrivals. You get a pickup list by time instead of one long list of names to divide afterward.
That matters when one order takes longer to find. The crew can work through the current window without having invited the entire school for the same moment. Families see the pickup time they chose and can manage their signup if their plans change.
Put the collection point and pickup instructions on the event page so the link answers the routine questions too. Keep the people handing out orders on their own crew shifts, with coverage through the last pickup window.
