Dulce Antojo Snack Carts
How I took a Houston snack cart rental business from Instagram-only to a full website with Stripe card payments, built so they could book companies and organizations, not just individuals.
Technologies Used
The Challenges
Before working with me, Dulce Antojo rented Mexican dessert and snack carts (mini pancakes, paletas locas, churro sundaes, elote cups) for events in Houston with no official website, only social media, and no way to accept card payments.
No Website
The business operated entirely through Instagram DMs and word-of-mouth. Potential customers had no centralized place to see all 13+ snack cart options, pricing, or how to book, and there was zero Google presence.
Could Not Take Card Payments
Corporations, schools and other organizations usually pay by card and need a proper receipt. Without card payments, Dulce Antojo could not take those bookings at all.
No Lead or Payment Tracking
Inquiries came through Instagram DMs, easy to miss and hard to track, and payments were scattered across messages and bank apps with no record of who had paid.
The Solution
I built a website with a booking form, and a private admin dashboard with Stripe payments so the owner could charge any client by card. Dulce Antojo has since moved to another website, so the link on this page opens a portfolio copy of what I built.
Website Built to Book Events
A modern, mobile-first website showcasing all 13+ snack cart options with a photo gallery, FAQ and a booking request form that captures event details (date, type, guests, preferred carts) and emails them instantly. Optimized for local search in Houston.
- 13+ snack cart service showcases
- Event booking form with validation
- LocalBusiness schema and Houston keyword targeting
- Fast loading under 2 seconds
Stripe Payment Links from a Private Dashboard
The dashboard creates a payment link for each event, to send by text or email. The client pays in seconds on Stripe's secure checkout, card data never touches the business's servers, and both sides get an automatic email receipt.
- Payment link per event, sent by SMS or email
- Stripe-hosted checkout with fraud protection and PCI compliance
- All major cards accepted, including corporate cards
- No monthly fee, only a fee per transaction
Every Payment Recorded Automatically
Stripe webhooks record each payment the moment it clears, so the dashboard always shows who paid, how much and when. Payments can be searched, receipted or refunded from one place, and admin credentials are stored encrypted and can be changed without a developer.
- Webhooks that log every payment
- Paid, pending and followed-up status per booking
- Instant notification to the business
- Encrypted admin credentials the owner controls
