NEWPlate deposits for big preorders

Your plates.
Their phones.
No more DMs.

Text-message ordering for home cooks, pop-ups and food trucks. Customers text one word, pick from your menu by number, and show up to grab it. You get a clean order queue instead of a buried inbox.

HOW IT WORKS

Three texts from hungry to handed off.

01

They text in

Customers text ORDER to your number. They get your menu with photos, prices and pickup hours. No download, no signup form.

02

They pick by number

“2x #1 medium, 1x #9.” Quantity first, item number after the #. We read it, total it and send it back to confirm. Only your listed options, so no off-menu requests.

03

They pick it up

You tap Ready, they get a text. Cash at the window, card up front, or a small deposit to hold big orders.

FOR VENDORS

Get paid your way. Stop getting ghosted.

Take cash at pickup with zero fees, charge the card up front, or turn on a flat $5 or $10 deposit for large preorders so the people who order actually show up.

Everything a one-person kitchen needs on a busy night.

Live order queue

Every order sorted by ready time. One tap to accept, one to mark ready, one to close it out.

Your own number

A dedicated local line for your business, so your personal phone stays personal.

Sold-out and final-call texts

Blast subscribers when a drop goes live or you are down to the last ten plates.

Inventory counts

Set how many plates you made. Items mark themselves sold out when they hit zero.

End-of-night tally

Cash collected, card payouts pending and no-shows, closed out before you clean up.

Plate points

Regulars earn points toward a free plate. You decide the reward.
