About NeighborGrub

NeighborGrub is a Utah-based platform designed to help local cooks sell food made in their own home kitchens directly to nearby eaters. Whether you're an amateur home cook, an aspiring food entrepreneur, or a professional chef experimenting with new ideas, NeighborGrub offers a legal, affordable, and community-driven way to share your food and build your following.

Our Mission

We believe amazing food can come from anywhere, not just commercial kitchens. Our mission is to connect passionate home cooks with curious local eaters in a safe and streamlined way. Through our app, users can browse homemade dishes, filter by cuisine or dietary preference, and place an order with a nearby cook who brings real flavor to the table.

Why It Matters

Launching a food business is expensive. Traditional paths like opening a restaurant or food truck can cost tens of thousands of dollars before the first plate is served. NeighborGrub empowers cooks to:

  • Test out recipes and menus without needing to lease commercial space

  • Build a local customer base and gather reviews

  • Earn income from home using the kitchen they already cook in

  • Get real feedback to refine offerings before scaling up

This platform is also a valuable tool for professional chefs looking to:

  • Pilot proof-of-concept dishes or brands

  • Experiment with niche cuisines or pop-up menus

  • Stay active in the food scene during transitions or between gigs

How It Works

NeighborGrub operates under Utah's Cottage Food Program, MEHKA guidelines, and the Home Consumption and Homemade Food Act. We provide support and resources for cooks to comply with legal requirements and list their food safely and transparently. Our rating and review system helps build trust between cooks and customers.

We handle the logistics, you focus on the food.

Whether you're a weekend baker or a culinary school grad, NeighborGrub gives you the tools to share your food, test your brand, and grow your dream. Let the community be your first customer base.
