How it works

From a neighbour's kitchen to your table.

Three steps, no subscriptions. You always see who cooks and what you pay before you order.

  1. Find a meal

    Browse home kitchens near you. Filter by cuisine, price and dietary needs. Order for today or up to a week ahead.

  2. Order and pay safely

    Pay by card through Stripe. Your card is only held when you order and charged when the cook accepts. If the cook can't take it, the hold is released.

  3. Pick up or get it delivered

    Each cook offers pickup, delivery or both. Collect your order or have it brought to your door, then leave a review that helps the next neighbour choose.

Why MamChef

Home food you can trust.

Know your cook

Every kitchen has its own page: who cooks, photos of the food and reviews from neighbours who ordered.

Registered kitchens

Cooks register with VMVT and VMI.

Pickup or delivery

Each cook offers pickup, delivery or both. You see the option and the fee before you pay.

Know what's inside

Every dish lists its main ingredients and a description. Cooks can add diet tags such as vegan or gluten-free.

Order ahead

Plan dinner for later in the week: pick a day up to a week ahead.

Pay only when the cook accepts

Your card is held, not charged, until the cook says yes. If they decline, the hold is released and you pay nothing.

Our story

“What if finding fresh, homemade meals was as easy as calling a taxi?”

One evening a home-cooked dinner saved the day, and we realised how many great cooks in our neighbourhood had no easy way to sell their food.

Today MamChef helps home cooks earn reliably and gives customers a better, affordable alternative to takeout.

For customers

Where does the food come from?

Every meal is cooked by an independent home cook in Vilnius who is registered with the State Food and Veterinary Service (VMVT) and follows its hygiene rules.

How do I know the cook is registered?

Cooks must be registered with VMVT (food safety) and VMI (tax), and send us their VMVT and VMI certificates before they can sell.

How do I pay?

By card, through Stripe's secure checkout. Your card is only held when you order and charged when the cook accepts. If the cook declines, the hold is released. You can also use MamChef credit in your account.

Can I get my food delivered?

Yes, where the cook offers it. Each cook chooses pickup, delivery or both, and you see the option and any delivery fee before you pay.

What if I have allergies or dietary needs?

Each dish lists its main ingredients and a description, and cooks can add diet tags such as vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free. You can filter meals by these tags. If you have an allergy, ask us at support@mamchef.com before you order.

What if something goes wrong with my order?

Contact support from the app or at support@mamchef.com. Refunds and disputes are handled fairly between you and the cook, and our support team steps in when needed.

Which cities do you cover?

We are starting in Vilnius, with more cities soon. Want MamChef where you live? Tell us at support@mamchef.com.

For home cooks

Do I need to register to sell food on MamChef?

Yes. All cooks must register their activity with VMI (for taxes) and VMVT (for food safety). MamChef gives you a step-by-step guide.

How much does it cost to join?

There are no upfront fees. MamChef charges a small commission only when you sell a meal.

How do payouts work?

Payouts go through Stripe Connect, paid via Stripe to your bank account, minus MamChef's commission.

How do I set my menu and prices?

Once approved, you upload meals, set portion sizes, add photos and choose your own prices and pickup or delivery times.

What support does MamChef provide?

Onboarding guidance for VMVT and VMI, visibility on our platform and secure payment processing.
