Common questions
Do I need a licence to sell food from home?
Rules for selling food from home differ from place to place and change over time, so check the current rules for your area before you start. HomeTiffin helps you run orders and money; it does not handle licences.
I am not good with apps. Is HomeTiffin hard to use?
It is made for busy cooks, not for tech people: big buttons, plain words, and Hindi or English. If you want even fewer screens, turn on Simple mode in Settings. You then see just Today, Customers and Money.
Can I try it with sample customers first?
Yes. On Today, tap Try it with 3 sample customers to look around before you add real people. Sample customers never count toward your plan, and you can remove them any time.

Starting a home food business, one step at a time
Most home kitchens start small: a few neighbours, an office group, a weekly cake. HomeTiffin grows with you. Begin with daily tiffin, then switch on a shop for snacks or made-to-order cakes in Settings, under What you sell, when you are ready.
Our guide on how to start a home tiffin business covers your first customers, your menu and your price. For pricing help, read how to price your tiffin.
Why 0% commission matters for a home cook
Margins on home food are thin. With HomeTiffin, customers pay you directly by cash, UPI or bank transfer, and nothing is taken from each order. See what each plan includes on the pricing page, or look at a sample kitchen.
What you need to start
A phone with WhatsApp is enough. Sign up on the web or in the HomeTiffin app for Android or iPhone, name your kitchen and add your first customers. Your customers never install anything: they open your links in their phone browser.
