How it works

The whole thing, start to finish.

No fleet of drivers, no cash at the door, no fees taken out of a cook’s price. Reserve, pay protected, and get it fresh.

Pickup or delivered by the cook themselves. Whichever side you’re on.

Four steps

Whichever side you're on.

Download Clartiv and tell us where you live, so we can show what's cooking on your street.

Every cook shows what they're making, when it will be ready, and what's in it. Read their story, see their verification.

Pick your portions, pay once in the app. Clartiv holds the money until you have the food.

Walk over and collect it, or have it brought by the cook themselves where they offer that. There is no third-party delivery fleet.

The single thing that makes a stranger’s kitchen safe to buy from is knowing exactly who is holding the money, and when.

The first cooks in each community are the reason anyone else can order. If that is you, we would like to hear what you cook.
