FoodBang doesn't hold your money, process orders, or take a cent off the top. The eater pays you, at pickup, in whatever currency your city runs on. You keep 100%.
No escrow, no wallet, no hold-then-release. The eater pays the cook directly — the same way people have bought food for the last 5,000 years.
Most cooks take two or three. Pick what's already normal in your city and mention them in your menu or bio.
The default. No app, no fees, no waiting for a transfer to land. Keep small bills for change.
PromptPay (TH), PayNow (SG), UPI (IN), Pix (BR), GCash (PH), Wise, whatever your neighbors already use on their phone.
Got a payment link from Stripe or Square? Paste it in chat. Eater taps it, pays, shows you the receipt at pickup.
Fine for bigger orders or out-of-town eaters. Slower than QR but universal across borders.
Same channel as the bill, or slipped in at pickup. Goes straight to you — we'd have no way to touch it even if we wanted to.
Your city has its own thing? Take it. We don't gate payment rails. If it moves money between two people, it works on FoodBang.
Based on publicly reported commission ranges — your mileage varies.
We don't issue invoices, 1099s, VAT receipts, or W-forms on your behalf. Cooking food and selling it is a thing you do — FoodBang is the feed.
Most food apps are a toll booth between the cook and the eater. They take 20%, then up-charge the menu by 25% to cover it, then the cook makes less and the eater pays more and the only winners are the servers in Dublin.
FoodBang is the feed and the DM thread. Nothing else. Every cent of every order stays between two people. If we can't make this work without being in the middle, it shouldn't work.
