Pastel shop: how to set up pastel delivery

Pastel — the Brazilian fried pastry — is an impulse and peak sale: weekends, late afternoon, the street market. In delivery, a pastel shop has a good ticket and high repeat rates — but it faces one specific enemy: the pastel that arrives soggy. Here's how to set up delivery and keep it crispy.

Why a pastel shop sells well on delivery

• Impulse: the craving hits and the customer orders right away.
• Variety: many fillings = many combinations and add-ons.
• Shareable: an order for the family/crew, a bigger ticket.

The critical point: arriving crispy

A pastel sealed in non-breathable packaging turns rubbery. Fix it:

• Packaging that lets steam out (paper, a vented box), not sealed plastic.
• Fry it to the right point and pack it fast, without stacking.
• A delivery radius that preserves quality — pastel doesn't travel well for long.

Structure the menu

• Fillings organized (savory, sweet, specials) with photos.
• Add-ons (extra cheese, catupiry) — a natural upsell.
• Combos: pastel + sugarcane juice / soda / a portion.
• Kits to share.

Make the most of the peak

A pastel shop has strong hours (late afternoon, weekends). Schedule availability, reinforce the team at peak, and let the WhatsApp AI handle the crunch without leaving a message unanswered.

An own channel for the repeat customer

Pastel has loyal regulars. If they always order through the marketplace, you pay commission to talk to your own customer. With your own channel, they become yours.
