Nine kitchens, one neighborhood.

Every cook's menu lives under a cuisine passport. Middle Eastern opens into its own countries — the way a home cook would actually describe their food.

For home cooks

Turn your kitchen into a neighborhood favorite.

Anyone preparing and serving food through Neighborly Dishes must hold a valid local food business license — it's how we keep every kitchen accountable to neighbors, not just to us.

  • Upload your menu with photos or short videos, organized by cuisine and category.
  • Set your own prices — you control your margins, we just handle payments and discovery.
  • Upload a valid business/food-handler license with its expiration date.
  • We email you 30 days before your license expires, and again if it lapses, so you're never paused unexpectedly.
  • We collect a flat 5% service fee per order — no monthly fees, no listing fees.

Cooks can flip this anytime — going on vacation, fully booked, or back for the week — without touching your license or menu.

What every order costs

Simple, competitive pricing

Cooks set their own menu prices — Neighborly Dishes adds a flat 5% service fee on top of every order to cover payment processing, license verification, and platform support. No hidden markups, no subscription fees for either side.

  • • Cooks receive their full listed price, every time.
  • • Buyers see the total cost, including the service fee, before checkout.
  • • Payouts to cooks process within 2 business days of order completion.

Drag the slider on the receipt to see how the fee scales with order size.
