Everything you need to sell food online

A real storefront and marketplace, not a link that nobody finds.

0% commission on plates

Keep 100% of the sale price on plate and menu orders. A small customer service fee and standard Stripe processing apply, that is it.

No website required

Skip the $200 theme and the weekend lost to a site builder. Your storefront, menu, and checkout come ready to go.

Real customer discovery

A marketplace and native app put you in front of local buyers actively looking for home cooks, not just the followers you already have.

Pre-orders & drops

Open an ordering window, cap inventory, and collect payment up front so you cook to confirmed, paid orders.

Built-in payments

Card checkout, receipts, and order tracking are handled for you. No chasing payments across three different apps.

Daily payouts

Money for completed orders pays out daily, escrow-backed, with instant-to-debit options. No two-week waits.

Sell what you already make

Whether you bake on weekends, run a weekly plate, batch meal prep, or take catering on the side, Chefry handles it from one profile. List a few items or a full menu, open pre-orders for limited runs, and let customers reorder their favorites in a couple of taps.

Selling food online, frequently asked questions

How do I start selling food online?

The fastest way is to create a free Chefry storefront, add your menu with photos and prices, and share your link where your customers already are. Buyers can browse, order, and pay online, and you get paid daily for completed orders. You do not need to build a website or set up a payment processor yourself.

How much does it cost to sell food online on Chefry?

Chefry is free to list with no monthly fee. Plate and menu orders are 0% commission to the seller, so you keep the full sale price (a 5% customer-paid service fee and standard Stripe processing of 2.9% + 30¢ apply). Service bookings like catering carry a 15% commission, and the first 100 chefs to join pay 0% on everything for their first year.

Can I sell food online legally from home?

Yes, within your state and local rules. Shelf-stable cottage foods such as baked goods, jams, and granola are allowed in most states with little or no permit. Selling hot, cooked meals usually requires a home kitchen permit like a California MEHKO, a commissary kitchen, or a caterer license. Chefry publishes state-by-state guides so you can sell online the right way where you live.

What kinds of food can I sell online?

Home cooks use Chefry to sell weekly plates, baked goods, meal prep, holiday trays, pop-up specials, and more. You can also offer catering and private chef bookings from the same profile when you are ready, so one storefront grows with your business.

Do I need a big following to sell food online?

No. A following helps, but Chefry adds a marketplace and native app that surface you to local buyers searching for home cooks, so you are not limited to people who already follow you. Many sellers get their first orders from discovery and word of mouth, not their own audience.
