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.
Drop mechanics bakers need
- A start and end for ordering, not an always-open shop.
- Item caps 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 |
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, caps, 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.
