How it works

One platform. Two sides.
Same warm food in the middle.

HomeStove connects people who cook beautifully at home with people who want to eat that way every day. Here’s exactly how it works — whichever side of the table you’re on.

For foodies

If you want to eat home food today.

Four steps, mostly taps, no cooking, no thinking. The app remembers what you like and surfaces it tomorrow.

  1. Tell us where you are

    Drop your pincode. We show you HomeChefs who are already cooking nearby — and what each of them is making today.

    30 seconds

  2. Pick a kitchen, not just a dish

    Read who they are, their cuisine, their ratings, their kitchen photos. Choose someone you'd happily eat from every week.

    2 minutes

  3. Order for now, or pre-order for tomorrow

    Fresh meal in the next hour or a tiffin scheduled for the rest of the week. You choose.

    1 tap

  4. Eat. Rate. Repeat with the kitchens you love.

    Your favourites stay one tap away. The kitchens you avoid disappear from your feed. The app gets warmer the more you use it.

Four steps from pre-registration to your first paid order. We help you with FSSAI, you stay in control of your kitchen.

  4. Go live the day your pincode opens

    Orders start coming in. You cook. We handle discovery, payments, delivery options, and support. You get paid directly — no cash, no chasing.

What we handle

So you can focus on the food, or the appetite — not the platform.

The work of running a food marketplace is invisible when it works. Here’s what runs in the background for both sides.

  • Trust

    Every HomeChef is verified with Aadhaar, PAN, and FSSAI before going live. Ratings stay public so kitchens earn their place every day.

  • Discovery

    Pincode-based feeds, weekly menus, and curated kitchens — so foodies find you without you having to run ads.

  • Money

    Direct online payouts to HomeChefs. 0% commission on food. Customers pay cleanly through the app. Refunds when something goes wrong.

  • Delivery

    Choose your own delivery partner or use the HomeStove fleet. Distance-based pricing, never opaque surge fees.

  • Support

    Real humans. WhatsApp + email at support@homestove.in. We help with first orders, refunds, FSSAI, anything.

  • Growth

    We open new pincodes weekly and notify everyone on the waitlist by SMS when their area goes live. Cities, not just neighbourhoods.

That’s the whole thing. Pick a side and start.

HomeStove is most useful when both sides show up. If you cook, we’ll help your kitchen earn. If you don’t, we’ll help you eat like you do.
