Same drop rhythm
- Announce a drop and open ordering for a window
- Sell until caps are hit or time runs out
- Bake from a list of what actually sold
- Run pickup in chosen time slots
Different pricing model
Hotplate charges a platform fee on orders (published as 5% + $0.55). BakeryFlow is $6.99/month or $60/year after a 2-month trial, with no percent of your sales.
Payments
Keep Venmo, Zelle, and Cash App between you and your customers. Cards are optional via Stripe if you want card checkout.
FAQ
- Can customers order without an app?
- Yes. They use your link in a browser, same as most drop-style platforms.
- Do I need to be on Hotplate to switch?
- No. Many bakers start on Instagram or Forms and go straight to BakeryFlow.
