Why Home Eats
From one home kitchen to twenty outlets.
We're a marketplace for the food makers in your area who are genuinely good — the aunty whose curry everyone asks for, the deli down the road, the family restaurant with a branch in the next suburb. Whatever the size, the same checks apply before anyone opens. Curated, vetted, and close.
Real local kitchens
A home cook, a deli, a restaurant with outlets across town — every one of them a real kitchen, close enough to cook for you. Food with a name behind it.
Verified kitchens
Every kitchen passes food-safety and compliance checks before it goes live. Look for the green Verified Kitchen badge.
Delivery or pickup
Kitchens can deliver their own orders, so the fee is theirs and fair. Prefer to fetch it warm? Collection is a tap away.
Pay securely
Checkout by card or instant EFT, protected end-to-end. Save a card for one-tap reorders next time.
How it works
Dinner, three taps away.
01
Find kitchens near you
Open the app and we'll show the kitchens around your address — filter by cuisine, distance, rating and what's open now.
02
Order & pay
Build your order, choose delivery or collection, and pay securely. We confirm your payment before the kitchen starts cooking.
03
Track it home
Follow your order live from accepted to on-the-way. The kitchen brings it round, or you collect it fresh.
Coming to your neighbourhood
The kinds of kitchens joining.
These three are sketches rather than listings — the shape of a card, not who is on it. The real kitchens, menus and ratings are in the app, and the list grows as kitchens near you come on board, from one-room home kitchens to multi-outlet brands.

For cooks & kitchens
Turn your kitchen into an income.
Start where you are. Cook from home and list one kitchen, register the business when you outgrow it, add an outlet each time you open one, and run them all under a single brand. The storefront, the orders and the payouts work the same at every size — and so does the commission, which is nothing. You set the prices, the hours and the menu.
- Keep 100% of food & deliveryWe never take a cut of your food price or your delivery fee, whatever size you are — a home cook, a deli, a restaurant or a franchise outlet keeps both in full. The platform earns a small service fee from the customer instead.
- Sell on your termsSet your own hours, menu and prep times, mark a dish sold out for the day, and switch orders off whenever you need a break.
- Get paid to your bankEarnings land in a ledger you can see, and you withdraw straight to your verified bank account by EFT.
- Build a verified reputationPass our checks once, earn the Verified Kitchen badge, and let your ratings bring the regulars back.
A typical home-kitchen order
You keep R200
on a R200 order — we don't take a cent of your food price or your delivery fee.
Food subtotalR175.00
Your delivery feeR25.00
You receiveR200.00
The customer pays a small service fee on top, and that is the platform's only cut — on a home kitchen's order, a deli's, a restaurant's or a franchise outlet's. No kitchen pays commission on its food, and none pays anything on its delivery fee.
For restaurants & franchises
One business. Every outlet. Your whole team.
Restaurants, caterers, ghost kitchens and franchise groups run on the same rails as a one-person kitchen, with the parts a bigger operation needs. Register the business once, add an outlet for each branch with its own menu, hours and address, and give your team the roles they should have — then get paid to one business bank account.
Register your business →Outlets under one roof
Add every branch as its own kitchen with its own menu, hours and address. Eaters see one card; the nearest open outlet takes the order.
Managers and staff
Invite your team with a link or QR. Staff take orders; managers run the menu and hours; only owners touch money.
Franchise-ready
Share one brand and master menu across outlets — including franchisees' — and lock or sync it in a click.
One business account
Earnings from every outlet land in one balance, paid out to your verified business bank account by EFT.
Trust & safety
Curated, not crowded.
We onboard kitchens deliberately, wherever in South Africa they are — so every kitchen you see has cleared the bar.
Vetted before they're visible
Every kitchen submits its food-safety credentials for review, and a registered business its company documents as well. Nothing goes live until it's cleared.
Payments handled safely
Card and instant-EFT payments are processed by a regulated payment partner. We never store your card details.
Right around the corner
You only see kitchens that can actually reach you, so food arrives fresh and fast — usually within a few kilometres.
