Our story

DropVio started with
a real food business.

Before DropVio, there was Ryno’s Pizzas. What began as building the tools we needed for our own drops became an idea for something bigger: a platform for independent food makers.

The turning point

We needed more.
So we built it.

As we worked on Ryno’s, we looked at Hotplate. The drop selling model made sense, but too many of the features we needed for our business were missing. We didn’t want our day to day work to be limited by what an existing platform could offer us.

So we decided to make our own. We built the ordering platform around Ryno’s needs: managing drops and orders, planning pickup, and staying connected with customers.

DropVio grew from that decision. Not from a pitch deck, but from the needs of a working food business.

That’s our founding experience, not a claim about which features Hotplate offers today.

What we built

This platform runs a real pizzeria. Today.

Ryno’s Pizzas runs every drop on the tools that became DropVio: a storefront customers order from, and a back of house that runs the kitchen. Visit rynospizzas.com

From our kitchen to yours

Started with pizza.
Built beyond it.

The product might be different. The work behind the drop is familiar.

A home baker taking sourdough preorders. A bagel maker selling the next batch. A pastry chef preparing weekend boxes. A chef planning a pop up. Each needs a way to bring their menu, orders, customers, and pickup plans together.

Ryno’s gave us the foundation. DropVio has its own identity and a broader purpose: helping independent makers sell what they make, on their own schedule.

What drives us

Your tools should work around your business. Not the other way around.

That’s why we started DropVio. It’s the principle behind the tools we build, and the reason we’re bringing our hands on foundation to more bakers, chefs, and food makers.

Make it yours
