You can use Hotplate to run a pre-order food business online. Set up a custom storefront, schedule order windows (called drops), and automatically text your customer list when orders open. Customers pay upfront by credit card, Venmo, or Zelle. You get a prep list showing exactly how much to make, packing tickets for each order, and built-in chat to talk to customers. It also tracks inventory limits per item so you never oversell.
