Congrats on the launch guys! Really interested to know how this works from a food safety perspective? The UK has strict guidelines and health inspections on all food retailers to ensure quality and food safety. Wondering how Bob from down the road is vetted and your service ensures he isn't going to poison me with his homemade curry or bad food hygiene. Really interesting idea and think this has great potential!
@de There are lots of people already selling homemade meals, cakes and such from their kitchen - complying with food standards. In the UK It just requires you to fill out a form, arrange a visit and you are good to go, you get a rating just like restaurants do, but the checklist for your kitchen isn't quite as extensive, so it should be an easier task. That teamed with user verification processes (like ID scans) and user reviews should help keep the marketplace healthy, no Bobs.
@liammckay Excellent! That sounds great, I guess for someone like me that doesn't know this regulation exists for home cooks it just needs to be clear that these things are in place to make me feel comfortable :)
I've used a bunch of services in the past to purchase healthy meals and really like this angle.
Do you envision any businesses using this as a way to distribute food that goes unsold? I could see some type of angle where it helps in the community vs. just throwing it out
@benmlevy Definitely a fantastic idea. We'd love to see cooks giving away their unsold meals and produce for free through the app for one, but I love your idea of taking it a step further and putting unsold food from larger producers in the hands of cooks in the first place. Anything we can do along the way to facilitate and encourage this we will. Thanks!
@kristijan94 I respectfully disagree, we're working on something completely different. They share recipes, we sell food on demand. Yes we both have "Yum" in the name and use colours that are often used for food branding, but beyond that we're not offering anything that they offer.
@kristijan94@liammckay Hey guys. Happen to be the CEO at Yummly, and I was even confused. We do have the trademark for the term Yum, and not only are you using the orange color, your logo has an extremely similar script shape too. I can see how others are finding it confusing.
