How does PlateTicket work?
Short answer
PlateTicket is pre-order commerce for food sellers. You open a drop (an order window with a cutoff and an optional batch cap), share your branded link, and take paid orders. At the cutoff, PlateTicket produces an automatic production sheet and per-order labels so you cook exactly what sold, then you fulfil by pickup or local delivery. You can also run everyday on-demand ordering for a standing menu. It's commission-free and starts free.
Drops for cook-to-demand
A drop lets you sell to a cutoff and cook to the exact count — the core of knowing how much to make.
The production sheet
At the cutoff, paid orders total by item and modifier into a prep list plus labels. Refunds adjust it automatically, so you always cook to real demand.
On-demand, pickup & delivery
Run a standing menu with live sold-out counts when you want always-on ordering, and fulfil by scheduled pickup or local delivery. Try it on the live demo.

What makes PlateTicket different from other ordering tools?
The production sheet. PlateTicket is built for cook-to-demand selling — it turns paid pre-orders into an exact prep list and labels before you cook, so you make precisely what sold. Restaurant-menu tools and marketplaces don't do this cook-to-demand planning.
