For cooks

Share what you cook

Offer pickup meals, host a table, or both. You set the menu, the price, and the schedule.

  1. 1

    Tell us about your food

    Your story, cuisine, and what you'd like to offer.

  2. 2

    Complete your local checks

    Requirements depend on your city — we'll show you exactly what's needed.

  3. 3

    Get ready to launch

    Once your application and local requirements are approved—and Nearfolk opens in your market—you’ll be able to publish meals or hosted tables. Ordering and payouts are not live yet.

How fees will work

When payments launch, Nearfolk will deduct a 10% cook commission from eligible meal or seat proceeds. Diners will pay a separate 5% service fee. Cooks keep 100% of tips, and no platform fee applies to taxes or tips.
