Meal-prep subscriptions and weekly preorders
Updated 2026-10-23. Not legal advice.
Weekly preorders, not automatic billing
Many meal-prep cooks sell the same boxes every week. KitchenCheckout does not bill customers automatically each week. Each customer places and pays for each week's order.
What it does handle is the weekly rhythm: post this week's boxes, take orders ahead, and cook to the order list.
Setting a cutoff
You set your pickup or delivery hours, a minimum lead time, and how many days ahead customers can order (14 by default, up to 90). Together those act as your cutoff. The meal prep demo uses an order-by-Tuesday, pickup-Wednesday week.
Stores can offer pickup, local delivery, or both.
What it costs
KitchenCheckout Store is $50 a month with a 3.5% platform fee. Plus is $100 a month with a 2% platform fee. The first month is $19.99 through December 31, 2026. Card payments go to your own Stripe account.
