Do you actually need an ordering platform yet?

We sell ordering software, so this might sound strange coming from us: if you're just starting out, you probably don't need it yet. We'd rather tell you the truth than sell you something you can't use.

At five or ten orders a week, your real bottleneck isn't your ordering system. It's whether people love what you make, and whether enough of them know about it. A slick checkout doesn't fix either of those.

What works perfectly when you're starting

Instagram or WhatsApp DMs to take orders. A notebook or a Google Sheet to keep track. PayNow to get paid. Honestly — some of the busiest home kitchens we know still run exactly like this. Every dollar and every hour should go into the food and the customers, not the tooling.

The day it stops working

You'll feel it. The 11pm “is this still available?”. The order buried in a chat you missed. The double-booking you caught too late. The payment you forgot to chase. When the admin starts eating the part you actually love — that's the signal you've outgrown the notebook.

That's when Selka helps

One tidy link instead of a messy inbox. Every order in one place. PayNow built in. Your evenings back. Start free — genuinely free, up to 50 orders a month — and stay there until the chaos tells you it's time. No card, no trap.
