Cottage Kit

The cottage kitchen OS.

Websites and backend for cottage kitchens. Take orders, plan batches, stay compliant, and run your home bakery like a real business.

For

For cottage bakers running a business out of their kitchen.

You started a cookie business. Now you're taking orders in your DMs, tracking them in a spreadsheet, invoicing through Venmo, remembering which cottage food law applies to which batch, and forgetting who ordered what.

You don't need Shopify. You don't need Square for Restaurants. You need something built for you — a baker running a small operation out of a home kitchen.

FAQ

What states is this legal in?

Every state has a cottage food law. Cottage Kit supports most of them. If you're unsure, join the waitlist and we'll confirm your state.

Do I need a commercial kitchen?

No — that's the whole point. This is for home-based food businesses.

Can I use it if I'm not a baker?

Yes. If you make anything that falls under cottage food law (breads, jams, dry goods, etc.), this is for you.

How much will it cost?

Not decided yet. It'll be priced for home bakers, not restaurants.
