Built around the Drop
Sell a limited batch. Know what to make.
A Slap Drop brings the menu, quantity, preorder cutoff, and pickup window together. When paid ordering opens, customers can reserve before pickup, giving eligible vendors a confirmed production count when the Ordering Window closes.
Prepare to demand
Cook for confirmed orders.
Confirmed quantities can guide ingredients, labor, packaging, revenue, and pickup load before preparation begins.
Keep the momentum
Connect every Drop to your Storefront.
Posts and Appearances bring customers back to one permanent place for what is open, upcoming, or sold out.
The preorder loop
A Drop turns your order cutoff into a production plan.
Choose a limited menu, set the available quantities, define when ordering closes, and name one pickup window. When paid ordering opens, customers reserve before pickup and you prepare against confirmed orders.
- Limited menu and portion counts
- One clear ordering cutoff
- One public pickup location and pickup window
- Confirmed quantities before preparation begins
One marketplace, many kinds of Drops
A Drop can start anywhere you make great food.
When paid ordering opens, a food truck can release a lunch special, a home cook can cap a weekend batch, and a baker can take orders before market day. Each Drop keeps the menu, limit, cutoff, and pickup details together.

Important offer terms
This is a planned offer. It will activate only when Slap payment processing is available and final commercial, legal, accounting, eligibility, refund, dispute, threshold-crossing, and funding rules are approved. Slap intends to waive its service, payment-processing, and tax-service transaction charges during the offer. The full payment amount, including sales tax, counts toward the $2,500 threshold. Sales tax remains payable and is still collected and remitted. Slap will publish the controlling terms and applicable post-offer pricing before activation.
Questions
What Vendors usually want to know.
These answers separate what Slap can support now from what opens with paid ordering.
What is a Slap Drop?
A Drop is a limited preorder opportunity tied to one pickup. The vendor sets the Items, prices, available quantities, Ordering Window, and one Pickup Window. Approved pilot accounts may use test-only sandbox Drops. Live paid ordering is not open.
Is Slap only for Dallas–Fort Worth?
No. Slap is built for independent food businesses across many markets. Dallas–Fort Worth is the first launch market, and Slap will expand market by market so each area has useful local density.
Who can apply?
Food trucks, food carts, home cooks, cottage food businesses, pop-ups, private chefs, caterers, and similar independent food operators can apply. Applications are reviewed, and listing a business type here does not guarantee approval.
Do I need a separate Vendor account?
No. Slap uses one person-level account. Create an account or sign in, then continue directly to the vendor application with that same account.
What can I do after approval?
You can build your permanent Storefront, publish Posts, and share upcoming Appearances. Approved pilot accounts may test sandbox Drops without real charges or food orders. Live paid Drops require separate eligibility and authorization.
What does the first $2,500 offer cover?
The planned offer covers Slap service, payment-processing, and tax-service transaction charges on your first $2,500 in qualifying processed volume. The sales-tax portion counts toward that volume, but the tax itself is still collected and remitted. The offer ends at $2,500 or 90 days after account opening, whichever comes first.
When does the offer begin?
The offer will activate only when Slap payment processing is available and the final eligibility, refund, dispute, threshold, and funding rules are approved. Slap will publish the controlling terms before activation.
Will my home or preparation address be public?
No private home or preparation address is published by default. Share only the public operating location or approved pickup information that customers need.
Do I have to stop using Instagram or other channels?
No. Keep using the channels that already work for you. Slap gives those posts a stable destination where people can find your business and see what is next.
