Who we're looking for
the cooks big apps skip.
If you cook real food and the big apps don't make sense for your setup — this is built for you.
🛺
Street vendors
The cart, the grill, the 7pm-only kebab guy. You've got a spot, a following, and no time for a POS system.
🏠
Home cooks
Your kitchen, your hours. You want to cook for your neighbors without building a whole restaurant around it.
⏱️
Tiny & time-boxed spots
Open Fri/Sat only. Lunch-only dumpling window. 20 portions then done. We don't need you to pretend to be “always open.”
🎪
Pop-ups & guest cooks
One-off drops, residencies, collabs. Show up, record, sell. Disappear when the pan's empty.
Who we're not for
FoodBang is for humans who cook. If any of this is you, we're probably not your thing:
Resellers / dropshippers — if someone else cooked it, we're not the feed for you
Cloud kitchens with 12 ghost brands run off one hood
Delivery-only chains with 50+ locations and a national menu
Anyone who wants to upload pre-recorded footage of other people's food
What you need
four things. that's it.
No website. No logo. No business plan. Just these.
A phone with a camera
iOS or Android. Last few years. That's the whole “tech stack.”
Food you actually cook
Your thing. One dish is fine. Doesn't need to be fancy — needs to be real.
A pickup spot
Cart, door, stall, window, park bench. Anywhere eaters can meet you.
Legit-to-sell in your city
Follow your local rules for food sales. You're the cook — that's on you, not us.

That depends on your city and how you sell. FoodBang doesn't issue licenses or vouch for you to the local authorities — you're the cook, you're responsible for following your local food-sale rules. If you're already cooking for the public, you probably know the drill.
My city isn't on FoodBang yet. Can I still apply?
Yes. Every city is open from day one — it just needs cooks and eaters to come alive. Apply, set up your menu, and start posting. We'll help you get the first eaters in your area onto the app.
Can I use my existing menu / prices?
100%. You set every price, every item, every portion size. We help you type it into the app on day one. Change it any time.
Is there a fee to join, or a subscription?
No. No signup fee. No subscription. No commission on orders. You don't pay us a cent — and the math stays that way.
