Home baker struggles to track orders, payments, and delivery addresses as Instagram order volume grows; manually cross-referencing DMs, notes app, and UPI history is time-consuming and error-prone.

Existing solutions like spreadsheets require manual entry and don't integrate with Instagram DMs or UPI payments, making it hard to track orders from inquiry to delivery.
