PlateTicket — orders in, plates out

The pre-order platform for independent food sellers. Open a timed order window, collect paid pre-orders, and get exact production counts before you cook a single plate.

Overview

Take the guesswork out of every batch

Home cooks, meal-prep businesses, food trucks, pop-ups, bakers, and caterers all share the same headache: how much to make. PlateTicket flips the model — you sell first, then cook exactly what sold.

Open a drop with a hard cutoff and a batch cap, collect payment upfront, and let the platform hand you a clean production sheet. No more DMs, spreadsheets, or cash reconciliation.

Sell first, cook second

Paid pre-orders mean no wasted ingredients and no over-production — you buy and cook to demand.
