For cooks · Founding kitchens

Made for the way you already cook.

You already have the skill, the recipes and the regulars. What you do not have is a safe, fair way to sell. Clartiv gives you one, and takes nothing out of your food price to do it.

Takes about ten minutes. No fees, no commitment at this stage.

Clartiv earns a small service fee from the buyer, shown to them before they pay. It never comes out of your price. Standard payment processing costs apply as they do anywhere money moves, and we show you those in plain numbers.

The quiet worries

The first four questions every serious cook asks.

No good cook asks these out loud. Every one of them carries the same four.

A home cook in a striped sweater and apron stirring a pot on the stove in her own kitchen, with chopped vegetables on a wooden board beside her, a phone showing a task list, and a notebook of handwritten prep notes. Bright morning light, real domestic setting.
Am I even allowed to sell food from my home?
How much am I supposed to charge for this?
What if someone does not come to pick it up?
How do I hand over food without handing over my address?

Clartiv answers each of these before you cook your first order. That is the whole point of the next section.

The founding offer

What being a founding cook actually means.

Free forever, verified in person, and a real say in how Clartiv opens where you live.

We tell you exactly what you can sell, with or without a permit.

One visit, in person. We read your province and your city rules, and clear you for a specific list of food. You never guess. You never risk. If something needs a permit, we say so plainly and help you get it.

Your own delivery still works.

Already delivering to your regulars? Keep doing it. You set your own delivery areas and your own fee, and you keep every dollar of it. Or offer pickup only. Or both. It is your kitchen.

A real hand in how Clartiv opens where you live.

The first cooks in each community shape the categories, the pickup patterns, the copy buyers see. If it starts here, it starts with you. We do not open a neighbourhood without listening to the cooks in it first.

We open a neighbourhood only once its cooks are ready.

We do not open a buyer waitlist in a city until the founding cooks are actually cooking. Nobody gets a marketplace with nothing in it. That protects you as much as it protects them.

Getting started

Five steps, and then you are cooking.

Apply in about ten minutes

Tell us what you cook, where you are, and how often you want to sell. No fees, no commitment at this point.

We check what you can sell where you live

Every province has its own rules for what you can sell from home. We read yours, tell you plainly what fits, and keep it up to date if anything changes.

Get verified and cleared

We confirm who you are and clear you for a specific list of food, so you are never guessing about what is allowed. If something is not permitted where you live, we say so plainly.

List your dishes and pickup times

Photograph the dish, write what is in it, set your price and how many you will make. Choose the pickup times you are happy to hand food over.

Cook it and get paid

Orders arrive already paid, so you only cook what is sold. After pickup, your full price is released and paid out on schedule.
Founding kitchens
A real founding cook’s month will appear here once one has completed one.

We would rather show you an empty box than a made-up quote. When a founding kitchen has finished a full month on Clartiv and is willing to be named, their story goes here.

A person with one exceptional dish should be able to build something from it. That is the whole company.
