- Name the product. Add a photo, ingredients and allergens.
- Define what customers get. One loaf, four croissants or a whole cake.

CollectionSaturday · 09:00–11:00
Your recipe, quantities and prices. The customer knows exactly what they’re ordering.
SINGLE MEALS / WHAT TO PUBLISH
Give people a choice for today.
Build your menu around at least three different single meals. Customers can pick the dish they feel like for lunch or dinner.
- List 3 different recipes. Each gets its own description, photo, portion size and price.
- Choose when each is available. Set your days, lunch or dinner slots, and order deadline. You don’t need to cook every day.
- Set a manageable quantity. Tell customers how many portions they can order and when to collect.
THE CUSTOMER’S NEED
“What shall I eat for lunch or dinner today?”
YOUR 3-MEAL MENU / EXAMPLE
Example collectionMonday · 12:00–14:00
These are examples, not prescribed recipes. Choose dishes that reflect your cooking.
MEAL PACKS / WHAT TO PUBLISH
One order. Three meals sorted.
Combine your three single meals — or other meals you want to offer — into one pack with a special bundle price.
- Choose the meals. Say which dishes are included and how many portions of each.
- Set the pack price. Make the value clear compared with buying the same meals separately.
- Plan collection and storage. Specify collection times and instructions for each dish, including freezing or reheating where appropriate.
THE CUSTOMER’S NEED
“The week starts busy. I want my next three meals sorted.”
Three meals can cover three days or three separate occasions. Set storage guidance for the actual dishes; don’t assume every meal keeps for the same time.
BUILD AN EXAMPLE PACK
Your week, a little easier.
Choose 3 meals. Swap in other dishes to see the price update.
3 meals × 1 person = 3 individual portions

Your questions
Before you start.
Do I have to be a professional chef?
No. You do need to prepare good food reliably and meet the requirements applicable to your activity.
What should I list to get started?
If you’re a baker, start with a clearly described product or selection. For Single Meals, build a menu of at least three different dishes with your chosen days and times. You can then combine those meals, or other recipes, into a specially priced Meal Pack.
How do multi-day meal bundles work?
Combine several meals into one clearly priced offer. Specify the dishes, portions and people served — for example, three dinners for two people means six individual portions. Set collection dates and suitable storage instructions for each dish; don’t assume every dish keeps for the same time.
Can I sell the same weekly menu to several households?
Yes. Offer a set number of identical bundles, set your order deadline and plan the total portions around confirmed orders. For example, eight orders of a six-portion bundle mean 48 portions to prepare.
Do customers have to subscribe?
No subscription is needed for this model. Customers can choose and order each week’s available menu separately.
Can I offer food for events?
Yes. Create a menu for a stated number of guests, with clear contents, total price, notice period and collection arrangements. Make clear whether you are supplying food to collect or hosting guests for an Eat-In experience.
Who decides prices and availability?
You set your menu, price, quantities, order deadlines, dates and times. Customers see the offer and its conditions before ordering.
Can I offer both To-Go and Eat-In?
Choose the formats suitable for your premises and activity. Publish only the offers and guest numbers you are ready to manage.
How does ZeepUp earn money?
ZeepUp charges a commission on orders handled through the platform. The commercial terms are shared with you before activation.
Is my exact address always public?
Your area helps customers discover you. Your exact address is shared when needed for a confirmed order or booking.
