Chefry Pre-Orders
Sell food preorders before you cook.
Chefry Pre-Orders helps home food sellers, bakers, meal prep providers, and pop-up chefs run limited pre-orders with paid checkout, pickup windows, inventory, reminders, and marketplace discovery.
Create menu items
Add plates, baked goods, meal prep, trays, or pop-up specials to your Chefry menu.
Schedule a pre-order
Pick an ordering window, pickup window, inventory count, and price.
Share your link
Customers reserve from your Chefry pre-order page and pay before you cook.
Prep from paid orders
Use prep lists and tickets so unpaid carts never become kitchen work.
Built for the way food sellers actually sell.
A pre-order is perfect when you want to announce a limited menu, cap inventory, and collect orders before making the food. Use it for Friday plates, Sunday meal prep, bake sales, cottage food launches, pop-ups, holiday trays, and small batch specials.
Chefry connects pre-orders to the rest of your business: your menu, customer list, SMS/email updates, Stripe Connect payouts, customer order history, and public marketplace pages.
Why sellers use pre-orders
- Collect payment up front before buying ingredients.
- Limit quantities so you do not oversell.
- Give customers one clean checkout link instead of DM back-and-forth.
- Build a reusable buyer list for future launches.
- Keep unpaid carts out of prep lists and pickup tickets.
