“I started selling my biryani at weekends and now it’s a proper second income. Keeping 88% makes a real difference.”

“The commission is a fraction of what the big apps wanted. My Caribbean plates sell out most evenings.”

FAQ

Seller questions, answered

How much does it cost to sell?
Nothing to join and no monthly fees. meaLoyo only takes a flat 12% commission when you make a sale, so you only ever pay when you earn.
When do I get paid?
Payments are processed securely through Stripe and paid out to your bank account on a regular schedule. You can track every payout from your Earnings dashboard.
Do I need a commercial kitchen?
No. You can sell from your home kitchen, provided you have your Level 2 Food Hygiene certificate and have registered your food business with your local council.
How long does approval take?
Most sellers are reviewed and approved within 24–48 hours of uploading their documents.
Can I set my own prices and hours?
Absolutely. You control your menu, prices, portion sizes, delivery radius and when you’re available to cook.
What about allergens and food safety?
You declare allergens on every dish — it’s required and protects your buyers. Keeping your hygiene certificate and council registration current keeps your kitchen compliant.
