Popchew operates a creator-focused platform that turns creators' food ideas into deliverable, digitally native local brands by tapping restaurants' unused capacity. Creators pick menus and Popchew builds the digital ordering experiences, handles orders, and splits proceeds with creators and restaurants. The company launched two brands in its first six months — Bitcoin Pizza and Wing SZN — and has partnerships with more than 100 restaurants. A May pilot for Bitcoin Pizza Day ran in 10 cities and generated $100,000 in gross merchandise volume in the first seven days; Popchew has since processed tens of thousands of orders. The startup says it is poised to generate several million dollars in revenue by the end of the year and plans to launch new brands every month. Product features include social ordering, loyalty points per dollar spent, and creator rewards such as appearances or merchandise redemptions.
