For independent sellers
The initial pilot is for a small number of UK food makers who prepare limited menus for local collection. Each seller remains responsible for their food business, product information and fulfilment.
Limited UK pilot
Good food should feel personal.
DropKitchen helps independent food makers publish small, local food drops and gives nearby buyers a simple way to pre-order for collection.
The pilot is invitation-only. This information page does not accept orders or payments.
