Why home cooks choose this

Not a shift, not a franchise, not someone else’s menu. The food you already make, sold to the people who live around you.

  • Your hours, not a shift
  • Your menu, not someone else’s
  • Your prices
  • Your own kitchen
The one legal step

We wrote a free guide that walks through all fifteen screens with screenshots, in six languages. If you get stuck at any screen, message our team and we will stay with you until it is submitted.

Getting started

Sign in with your phone number, tell us about your kitchen and the food you cook, and add your FSSAI and bank details.

  • Show us your kitchen
  • Set your menu and start cooking

Pick the days and the hours you want to cook. When your shift starts, the app opens your kitchen to people nearby by itself, and closes it when the shift ends — nothing to remember, no switch to flip.

Your phone rings with the dish, how many, and a countdown to accept. One tap and the customer knows you are on it.

New orderAccept

Follow the steps in the app from cooking to ready. When it is ready, show the pickup code to the delivery partner who comes to your door — you never have to go out to deliver.

Pricing

Every delivered order is written down in the app. Once a week, the previous week’s orders are settled to your bank account, and you can see each payout and what it covers.

  • You set the price
  • The price you set is the price shown
  • GST is handled for you
  • Everything is written down
Pre-orders

Customers rate your food, and the ones who loved it order again. Open a pre-order window before a festival and cook to a number you already know.

Good for festival cooking, weekly thali subscriptions, and any dish that takes hours and cannot be made to order.

Questions

Do I need experience in a hotel or restaurant?

No. Most of the best home cooks have never worked in a professional kitchen. What matters is that you cook well, cook consistently, and keep a clean kitchen.

Do I need a commercial kitchen or new equipment?

No. You cook in your own kitchen with what you already have. There is nothing to rent and nothing to buy.

I do not have FSSAI registration. Can I still start?

You will need it before your kitchen can go live — it is the law for anyone selling food in India. You can do it yourself in about thirty minutes using our free guide. Do not pay an agent for this.

How much food do I have to cook?

As much or as little as you want. Some cooks make a handful of meals a day around their family; others cook to a larger pre-order list. You set your own limits in the app and can change them any day.

Who decides my prices?

You do, for every dish, and you can change them whenever you like.

What if I need to stop for a while?

Close your kitchen in the app. No notice, no penalty, no explanation needed. Open it again when you are ready.
