How it works
YumYumEats connects you with home cooks and bakers near you. Find a cook on the map, order, pay, collect.
For customers
- Find a cook on the map. Pins show an approximate area only; the exact address is shared after you pay.
- Order from a cook's menu before its cut-off time, or send a request for a made-to-order cake.
- Pay securely online. For cakes, the cook sends you a quote first and you pay once you accept it.
- Collect from the cook at the agreed time. You get the address and collection details after payment.
- Review your order so other neighbours know what to expect.
For cooks and bakers
- Apply with your ID, proof of address and a food safety declaration. A Certificate of Acceptability is optional and earns a badge.
- We check your documents before approving you. Your documents stay private.
- Publish menus with portion limits and order cut-offs, or quote on cake requests.
- Customers pay through YumYumEats; after the order is collected, we pay you out minus our 20% commission.
Why a commission?
YumYumEats keeps 20% of each order. It covers payment processing, the map and ordering platform, document checks, customer support, and handling problems. Cooks never pay to join or to list. See payments and fees.
