ClartivGet the app

The best food on your street never had a menu.

Clartiv lets you buy home-cooked food from a verified cook near you, and collect it fresh from their door. Not a restaurant. Not delivery. A neighbour who cooks.

A canvas tote bag on an entryway table holding a rustic sourdough loaf, a warm foil-topped container of home-cooked food, and a wax-paper wrapped pastry — just picked up from three neighbourhood cooks. House keys and a phone rest beside it.

The difference

This is not a delivery app.

There is no fleet of drivers, no chains, no discount tricks. There is a person near you who cooks something extraordinary, and a system that makes buying it safe.

So what is it, exactly?
The honest part

You have never heard of us. Here is exactly what we're doing about it.

Buying dinner from a kitchen you haven't tried yet is a real leap. So instead of asking for trust, we are showing you exactly what stands behind every order, before you place one.

Real people, not usernames.

Every cook is confirmed as the person running the kitchen, and cleared for exactly what they are allowed to sell where they live. If the paperwork is not in order, the listing does not go live.

Money that waits for the food.

You pay when you reserve, so the cook can shop with certainty. The cook is paid once you have collected. Until then your money sits with Clartiv, not in anyone's pocket.

Nobody's home is public.

A pickup address is shared with one person, for one order, in the window around pickup. Never on a listing. Never searchable. Never sold.

For cooks

Keep the part you love. We take the rest.

If you already sell food from your kitchen, you know the week this describes. Every line on the left is a reason good cooks quit. Every line on the right is a thing Clartiv does instead.

You keep 100% of your food price. Clartiv adds a small fee to the buyer, never to you
The phone buzzing at midnight, still on the clock

How we open a city

One community at a time, properly.

We would rather open one neighbourhood well than ten carelessly. This is the order we do it in, every time.

01

Read the local rules

Selling food made at home is legal in much of Canada, inside rules that change by province and city. We read them before anything else.

02

Verify the first cooks

In person where it matters. We help each founding cook get cleared for exactly what they want to sell.

03

Then invite buyers

Only once there is genuinely something worth buying. An empty marketplace is worse than no marketplace.

04

Stay until pickups are second nature

We stay close until every handover just works. Then we do the same in the next neighbourhood.

Founding kitchens

Real food is three streets away. Somebody has to cook it first.

The first cooks in each community shape how Clartiv works there, and they are the reason anyone else can order. If that is you, we would like to hear what you cook.
