Food drop app
A food drop app built for bakery pre-orders.
A food drop is a timed pre-order release. BakeryFlow gives you the mechanics bakers need: capped menus, pickup windows, and a production list on a flat subscription after trial, not a cut of every ticket.
BakeryFlow is a home bakery app for pre-orders: set your menu, share one link, get paid before you bake. Download the BakeryFlow app and start taking orders today.
Drop mechanics bakers need
- A start and end for ordering, not an always-open shop.
- Quantity limits and automatic sell-outs.
- Pickup windows so porch or booth handoff stays calm.
- A production list the morning you bake.
- A mobile app for you; customers only need your link.
How pricing compares on drops
Some home bakery platforms charge a published platform fee per order (for example Hotplate’s 5% + $0.55), paid by the baker or passed to the customer. BakeryFlow does not take a percent of sales. After a 2-month trial it is $6.99/month or $60/year. *Table shows platform fee only and excludes card processing.
| Monthly sales | Hotplate platform fee* | BakeryFlow |
|---|---|---|
| $500 (~20 × $25) | $36.00 | $6.99 |
| $1,000 (~40 × $25) | $72.00 | $6.99 |
| $2,000 (~80 × $25) | $144.00 | $6.99 |
| $5,000 (~200 × $25) | $360.00 | $6.99 |
Holiday drops are still drops
Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas cookie boxes use the same mechanics with higher stakes. Plan open and close dates on the holiday drops calendar, then bake what sold on bake day.
Frequently asked questions
What is a food drop?⌄
A scheduled pre-order window. Customers order before you bake; you produce the exact count and hand off at pickup.
Is BakeryFlow a Hotplate-style drop app?⌄
It is drop-native for bakeries: timed menus, quantity limits, pickup, and bake lists. It is not a chef marketplace and it does not take a percent of sales.
How do customers find out a drop is open?⌄
You announce it on social, text, email, or a flyer, then send them your storefront link.
