How Feedhood works

Feedhood connects people who cook with neighbours who want to eat. A cook lists their food, a neighbour orders it, and either the cook brings it, the neighbour collects it, or a driver carries it across. Feedhood takes no cut of any of that.

What catches people out

A "feeder" is not only a home cook

Home cooks, restaurants, bakers, farmers and caterers all sell on Feedhood under the same word. The rules differ in one place only: home-based kitchens verify their identity before they can seat guests for dine-in, and commercial premises do not, because they already carry municipal inspections.

Delivery is not free, and it is not ours

When a driver or the cook delivers to you, the delivery fee is theirs. Feedhood keeps none of it. That is why picking up is always cheaper. You are doing the work yourself.

The donation at checkout is genuinely optional

It is pre-set at 10% of the food and you can lower it or set it to $0. Changing it changes nothing about your order, your place in a queue, or what the kitchen receives. It is the only money Feedhood makes, which is why we ask.
