A real website built by StartMyOwn

A real website — designed for you

Not a template with your name pasted in. A designed one-page site with your menus, story, gallery, and ordering — built for your business and live on the internet the same day. (This one belongs to a caterer on the platform.)

Order-ahead with cutoffs

Pickup windows and order-by deadlines built in — your headcount locks before you shop for groceries.

Your own business line

A dedicated number for calls and texts — your personal cell stays personal.

An assistant that answers

Texts, calls, and website chat answered 24/7 in your voice — orders taken, questions answered, you looped in.

Paid before you cook

Every order confirms through a secure payment link, straight to your bank through Stripe.

Event dates & deposits

Weddings, repasts, reunions — deposits lock the date, balances on your schedule.

Your customer book

Every customer, order, and payment in one place — a real history you own, not a DM scroll.

Questions

Asked and answered.

Is this legal for home cooking?

Cottage-food laws in most states allow home food sales — and they keep expanding. StartMyOwn gives you the professional storefront; you follow your state’s cottage-food rules.

How do customers order?

Three ways, all yours: the order page link (drop it in your bio), texting your business number, or the chat on your site. The AI handles all of them.

When do I get paid?

Before you cook. Orders confirm only when the payment link is paid, straight to your bank through Stripe.

Can I do full-event catering too?

Yes — event-date orders with deposits and final-count cutoffs are built in. Take the deposit now, the balance when you set it.
