Maker notes
LocalPlate was built after discovery work with small producers who found existing ecommerce tooling too heavy for occasional local sales.
The product has supplier onboarding, listing creation, category browsing and buyer enquiries. Payments were deliberately left out pending a decision on whether LocalPlate should be lead-generation, subscription software or a transaction marketplace.
That unresolved business model is the main commercial question for the next owner rather than a hidden problem.
