Overview
Hotplate is a San Francisco-based food-drop platform for independent chefs and bakers. It provides branded storefronts and preorder-drop tooling so food creators can sell limited-quantity batches, manage pickup windows, automate SMS/customer messaging, handle inventory and prep lists, and collect payment through a fee-based model rather than as a consumer marketplace.
