The Platform
Order online. No delivery app cut.
The Bakery Co. site gives customers a fast, branded ordering experience — browse the menu, build their cart, check out with Stripe, and pick up in store. No DoorDash watermark. No 15–30% off the top. The owner keeps every dollar of every order.
The Problem
Small bakeries are paying DoorDash to handle their own customers.
Small bakeries take orders by phone or Instagram DM, lose track of them, and pay 15–30% commission to DoorDash or Uber Eats to get discovered online. There's no system, no paper trail, and no way to know which items are low on stock before the morning rush. Platforms like Square Online and Toast charge $200–500/month for what should be table stakes.
The real cost of DoorDash: On a $30 order at 20% commission, the bakery owner pays $6 per order. At 30 orders a day that's $1,800/month — before platform fees. Platform.co replaces it with a flat build fee and zero commission forever.

Menu with instant category filtering · cart with order summary before checkout.
Checkout
Stripe checkout. Order confirmed in seconds.
Customers check out through Stripe and receive an order confirmation immediately. The admin's order queue updates in real time — no manual phone call needed. One-click fulfill from the dashboard marks the order ready for pickup.
Loyalty & Gift Cards
Regulars earn points. Anyone can give a gift.
Creating an account unlocks a points-based loyalty program — 1 point per $1 spent, 100 points = $1 off the next order. Members also get birthday perks and a full order history. Gift cards are purchased via Stripe and delivered instantly by email, with balances tracked automatically.
Subscriptions
Recurring orders for regulars.
Customers can subscribe to their favorite items on a weekly or monthly cadence. Every subscription option is fully configurable from the admin dashboard — the owner sets which items are available for subscription, the cadence options, and the pricing. Recurring orders are a reliable revenue stream and a convenience for customers who order the same thing every week.
Events & Catering
Take event orders before the event happens.
Customers planning a party, wedding, or corporate event submit an inquiry directly from the site — specifying the occasion, date, headcount, and items needed. The owner reviews each inquiry in the dashboard and follows up to confirm. No more fielding event requests by Instagram DM or phone call — every inquiry has a paper trail and a clear status.
