I started cooking for 5 families a week. Now I have 40 regulars and made $2,400 last month just doing what I love.

Hotplat changed everything. I cook tamales on weekends and earned $800 in my very first month on the platform.

The platform is so simple. I posted my menu on Monday, got my first order on Tuesday, and got paid on Friday.
