See GuestPlate in Action

A quick look at how GuestPlate connects your kitchen to the people around you.

GuestPlate gives your customers three ways to enjoy your food.

GuestPlate — Dine With Your Host

GuestPlate

Dine With Your Host

Customers can reserve a meal and enjoy a unique dining experience with the host.

ToGoPlate — Pickup

ToGoPlate

Pickup

Customers order through GuestPlate and pick up their meal directly from the host.

Delivery — Delivered When Available

Delivery

Delivered When Available

Hosts who offer delivery can allow customers to have their meals delivered directly to them.

Great Food Shouldn't Be Hard to Find.

Many talented home cooks and caterers depend on Facebook, Instagram, and word of mouth to find customers.

Posts disappear. Reach is unpredictable.

And opening a food truck or restaurant can cost thousands of dollars.

GuestPlate is being built to give local food entrepreneurs another way to get discovered and grow their business.

Get Discovered

Reach people actively looking for local food.

Build Trust

Build your reputation through your profile, ratings, and reviews.

Grow Your Business

Turn new customers into repeat customers without needing a storefront.

Try the GuestPlate Experience

Tap a house on the map to open a host, add a plate, choose how you want it, and check out. This is the same journey your customers will take.

  • GuestPlate — dine with the host
  • ToGoPlate — pick up from the host
  • Delivery — when the host offers it

  • Founding Host badge
  • Priority placement at launch
  • Early access to GuestPlate
  • Opportunity to help shape new features
  • Founding Host recognition
  • No cost to participate during the initial testing phase
