Fictional message: I'd like a birthday cake. I'm still choosing the design and will send a photo later. Could it be ready on Saturday? Afternoon is a good time for a call.

Questions to clarify on the callback: the customer's name and callback number (recorded locally by the owner); the cake quantity, dimensions and preferred design; when the reference photo will arrive and whether the references are complete; which Saturday and what completion time, and whether the shop can accommodate it; collection or delivery, and if delivery, the owner confirms the address locally; which afternoon time window suits the customer.
