How Potluck Works
Order from a home kitchen whenever you like — give your chef a little notice, and collect it fresh at a time you picked.
Baked to order, by someone near you
Nothing sits on a shelf. You order, your chef bakes it, you collect it — as soon as same day.

- 2Order any timeNo countdown, no sell-outs — order when it suits you
- 3Choose your pickupPick a day and time that works, within the notice your chef needs
- 4Baked fresh, then collectedIt's made for your order — not pulled from a shelf
You pay when you order, but your chef isn't paid until you've actually collected. Items are made in home kitchens under cottage food law, with the required disclaimers on every label.

You set the notice and the days — nobody can book a pickup you can't bake for. You operate under your state's cottage food law, and we generate the labels and disclaimers so you can focus on baking.
Some chefs also run drops — a batch baked for one pickup window, first come first served. You'll see them on a chef's page when they have one open.
