How BoonBelly works
BoonBelly is a marketplace for food made by people, not factories. Ordering from a neighbor should be as easy as ordering from an app — so we made it exactly that easy, for both sides.
- Step 1
Discover what's near you
Scroll a feed of real dishes from makers in your area, or open the map and filter by distance, cuisine and what's available today.
- Step 2
Order and pay in the app
Build a cart, pick your options and sizes, and check out securely. No cash at the door, no back-and-forth over payment.
- Step 3
Pick it up or get it delivered
Choose a pickup window the maker actually has open, or have it delivered. Track the order and message the maker the whole way.
Taste what's made near you
Food you can't get anywhere else
Independent cooks, bakers and hobbyists making the dishes their families are known for — not a chain menu.
Weekly Drops
Love something? Subscribe and it repeats every week automatically. Skip a week or cancel anytime, no phone call required.
Talk to the person cooking
Message makers directly about allergies, spice level or timing. Follow the ones you love and see what they post next.
Ratings you can trust
Reviews come from real completed orders, so what you read is what people actually ate.
Turn your cooking into a business
No seller fees on BoonBelly
Keep what you charge. Buyers pay a single service fee of 15% + $0.30 — we take no cut, charge no listing fee and bill you nothing monthly to sell here.
You set the hours
Publish only the pickup windows that fit your week, and block out the days you're not cooking. Nobody can order outside them.
Get paid automatically
Payments are handled and deposited to your bank — you never have to chase anyone for money.
Build a following, not just orders
Post to the people who follow you, turn favorites into Weekly Drop subscribers, and make next week's income predictable.
Food laws differ by state and city. Depending on where you live, selling may fall under cottage food rules, require a permit, or require cooking in a licensed commissary kitchen. Makers are responsible for meeting the rules that apply to them — see our Terms of Use.
Your neighborhood is a better restaurant
One service fee, no subscriptions to eat, no seller fees to sell, and your exact address is only shared once an order is paid for. Download BoonBelly and see who is cooking near you.
About Us
Let's face it, the food industry is so focused on profits that they have forgotten what food should taste like. BoonBelly was founded by people who want their food to be delicious, nutritious, and inspiring. But how do we solve this problem? Our founders took one look outside their windows and saw countless members in their communities with skills, knowledge, and diversity that they would love to support instead.
Our mission is to give cravers a way to experience amazing food from different cultures while supporting their local community. We also want to break down any barriers preventing makers from exploring their passion. This way any aspiring cooks or hobbyists can share their mouth watering offerings without any additional investment.
We are a team energized and driven by creating a solution enabling people to share and connect over their passion for food. We respect transparency and accountability as we embrace our team's drive, passion, diversity, and fearlessness in exploring and breaking ground for a better way of life.
