How Food4Foodies works

A real walkthrough for Chefs and Foodies, with real screens from the app.

For Chefs
Turn your kitchen into a business

Food4Foodies gives an independent home chef three different ways to earn from the same kitchen, without a restaurant lease, a delivery fleet, or a monthly software bill.

  1. 1
    Create your profile & kitchenSet up your chef profile, kitchen address, and photo so Foodies know who's cooking and where it's coming from. Cooking from more than one kitchen? Add each one with its own opening hours, and Foodies order from the one nearest them. Running a food truck too, or only a truck? Turn on "I also run a food truck", or pick "No fixed kitchen" and your address stays private: Foodies find you at your stops. Already ordering on F4F as a Foodie? Tap Chef in your profile to start selling with the same account, and switch back any time.
  2. 2
    List what you offerAdd dishes for Feeling Hungry, build a recurring Tiffin pack, or open up Chef@Home visits. Mix and match all three from one Kitchen. With a food truck, set your regular stops (days, hours and places) or tap Open now wherever you park, and Foodies nearby who saved your dishes hear you're here. With Event4Foodies, take a booth at a food fair or night market, or organize your own event.
  3. 3
    Get verifiedStripe Identity verification unlocks Chef@Home, gives you a verification badge, and puts your food ahead of unverified Chefs in search.
  4. 4
    Receive & manage ordersA push notification the moment an order comes in; message the Foodie directly about pickup time or a special request.
  5. 5
    Get paidSet up payouts with Stripe and your menu appears in search; Stripe handles every payout. F4F takes 12% on a pickup or Chef@Home order (15% for delivery), no monthly fee, no listing fee, ever.
  6. 6
    Handle the rare complaint fairlyIf a Foodie ever has an issue, you see their evidence, message it out, and choose a full or partial refund yourself. Nothing automatic, nothing hidden.
Running a food truck? Meet Truck4Foodies. Your schedule moves, and the app moves with it: home kitchen on weekdays and the truck on weekends if you like, regular stops set once, Open now for unplanned days, skip or move a stop any week, a menu per stop, and regulars alerted when you park nearby. No monthly fee. More about Truck4Foodies
Growing from a side hustle to a real business Three revenue lines instead of one: one-off dishes, recurring Tiffin income, and premium Chef@Home visits. A verification badge and real reviews build trust with people who've never met you, so your reach isn't capped by word of mouth. And because there's no fixed monthly cost, scaling up never costs you more until you're actually earning more.
New: build your Kitchen with the AI you already use Describe your dishes out loud, hand over a photo of your menu, or share a link to your existing site. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any MCP-compatible AI can build and manage your whole Kitchen for you. See how it works →

  2. 2
    Choose how you want to eatA one-off dish, a recurring Tiffin pack for your weekly routine, a food truck that's open now or coming later this week (order ahead and pick up at the window), an Event4Foodies event where you order ahead from the booths, or book a chef to cook in your own kitchen.
  3. 3
    Pay securely, every fee up frontStripe processes payment. The service fee, any delivery fee and sales tax are shown before you pay. Buying a Tiffin pack? Pay from your bank account for 25% off the service fee; it clears in 4 to 5 business days.
  4. 4
    Track your order & chatReal-time status updates and a direct line to the chef for pickup questions or special requests.
  5. 5
    Rate, review, and reorderBuild a relationship with chefs you love, and find them again next time you're craving their food.
  6. 6
    Something wrong? Speak upFile a complaint within 24 hours of pickup, with photos if it helps. The chef can refund all or part of the food, with its sales tax.
