Worknest is an online ordering and order management app built for home-based food businesses, home cooks, bakers, meal prep businesses, caterers, and other small food sellers.
If you sell food through Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, text messages, or DMs, Worknest gives your customers a simpler way to order.
Create your menu, share your personal storefront link, and let customers choose their food, select pickup or local delivery, and pay online — without downloading an app.
ONE LINK FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS
Create your own online food storefront and share the link anywhere — Instagram bio, Stories, Facebook, WhatsApp, text messages, or directly with customers.
Customers open your storefront in their browser, browse your menu, place an order, choose an available time, and pay online.
MANAGE YOUR MENU
- Add dishes, photos, descriptions, and prices
- Control item availability and quantities
- Mark items sold out
- Set daily order limits
- Offer order-ahead items and pre-orders
ACCEPT ONLINE ORDERS
Every order arrives with the information you need:
- Customer details
- Ordered items
- Payment information
- Pickup or delivery
- Selected time window
- Order status
Accept or reject an order and move it through your workflow from new to ready to picked up.
PICKUP & LOCAL DELIVERY
Set when customers can order and how they receive their food.
- Pickup time windows
- Preparation time
- Order limits
- Local delivery radius
- Delivery fee
- Free-delivery threshold
GET PAID ONLINE
Customers pay securely by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay through Stripe.
Track your sales, tips, and refunds in the app. Stripe sends your payouts to your connected bank account.
KEEP CUSTOMERS UPDATED
Customers get a live order-status page in their browser — they always know when their order is confirmed and ready.
BUILT FOR SMALL FOOD BUSINESSES
Worknest is designed for people selling real, prepared food directly to local customers — including:
- Home kitchens and home-based food businesses
- Home cooks and chefs
- Bakers and dessert businesses
- Meal prep businesses
- Caterers
- Food sellers taking orders through Instagram and social media
Instead of managing orders across DMs, messages, payment apps, and notes, keep your menu, orders, customers, payments, pickup, and delivery in one place.
