Frequently asked questions
It’s really simple – the first 2 months we take 0% commission, and then it’s just 6% for the following 10 months. After that, we take 15% on every sale you make.
There aren’t any! We don’t charge you for the set-up of your page, we cover Stripe payment processing fees and there are absolutely no hidden fees either. We promise.
No, we’re not just looking for trained chefs with years of professional catering experience (although if that’s you, you’re very welcome!) We want All About The Cooks to help kick-start a food business for anyone making delicious food from their home-kitchen. It doesn’t have to be complicated, expensive or intimidating.
There are two simple requirements before you start selling your food on our platform.
- Register your food business with the local council and then achieve a minimum 4* rating upon inspection of your home-kitchen. You can start selling your food straight away whilst you’re waiting for your inspection.
- The second step is obtaining a Level 2 Food Hygiene certificate. This is a universally recognised certification that demonstrates a basic understanding of the latest food hygiene and safety standards. You might already have one of these certificates, but it is recommended that you renew it every 3 years. We will refer you to the online certification we recommend using.
We’re not a food delivery website, so we don’t get involved with the logistics of how your customers get the food. Some of our home-cooks only offer collection from their home, but others choose to deliver locally for a fee, decided by the. You set the delivery/collection arrangements based on what works best for you.
All food is pre-ordered with plenty of notice, because we know you have busy lives too! Most of our cooks ask for a minimum of 24-48 hours’ notice – sometimes more for time-consuming dishes.
You’ll get an email and text notification, where you’ll see details about your customer and what they ordered, and you can chat to them about delivery/collection arrangements and approve/decline the order from your dashboard.
Do I need insurance?
All food purchased through our platform is covered by our product liability insurance, saving you from having to purchase your own insurance policy.
We use a platform called Stripe, which ensures your money is protected. After you have accepted an order, the money makes its way over to your account, and you’ll receive payment within a few days. This means you get paid per order, and don’t need to worry about cancellations or ‘no shows.’
Yes, most of our home-cooks have other commitments – jobs, kids, hobbies, you name it! Customers can only pre-order food for the days you are available, which you can set in advance. You can change your availability whenever you need to.
It entirely depends on how much time and effort you can put into your food business. Our home-cooks who have great availability, make regular changes to their menus and are very active on social media are most successful. Our top selling cook has taken £12,000, but others are happy to just make a few hundred pounds selling cakes to their friends.
It just depends on what you want from your food business – some of our cooks want to use All About The Cooks to run a full-time business, and others only want to accept small orders for neighbours. Whatever your ambition, we’d love to help you with the tools and support to run and grow your business.
