Hosts

Become a Host

Share a recipe you already cook with a small group at your table. Read how it works below, then create your account when you're ready.

How hosting works

  1. Create an account and confirm your email.
  2. Add your neighbourhood (public), private address, photos, and first meal.
  3. Connect card payouts in Host Studio → Payments before guests can pay.
  4. Approve seat requests, host the meal, guests leave with the recipe.

Who can host: adults who can legally host a small paid/shared meal at their address and accept responsibility for food safety and house rules. HostMeals does not inspect kitchens or certify food handlers — see the Host Terms.

Fees (illustrative): you set the price. Example: $80 × 4 guests = $320 gross. HostMeals keeps 10% ($32) for the site and card costs; you keep about $288 before ingredients and any taxes you owe. Details: Payments & cancellations.

Publication: after you verify email and finish setup (profile, required photos, first meal), your page can go live for bookings. That is not an identity check, background check, or food-safety certification — email verification only. We may follow up or suspend a listing if something looks off. Questions: support@hostmeals.com.
