The deal

Cook other chefs' dishes. Grow your own business.

Work.Kitchen is not a ghost kitchen. You cook under your own name, in your own truck or restaurant, using recipes authored by chefs in other cities. Every dish you cook is earnings for you AND an ad for your real location.

01

Cook & earn per order.

Get paid 60% of every order you cook. No monthly fees, no minimums. Instant payout when delivery confirms via Stripe Connect.

02

Drive traffic to your real location.

Every order confirmation, tracking screen, and delivery receipt shows your business name, address, hours, and brand. Customers who ate your food now know where to find you.

03

Publish your own signature dishes.

Your house recipes get authored on Work.Recipes. When an operator in another city cooks them, you earn 10% royalty. Your menu becomes portable IP across the network.

The payout, fully visible

Four parties. No hidden splits.

Every order settles four ways the moment delivery confirms — automatically, through Stripe Connect. Every party sees every line. No invoices. No monthly reconciliation.

Example: A customer orders a gumbo in your city. The dish was written by a chef in New Orleans. Your truck cooked it. The driver delivered it. Work.Kitchen handled the rails. Every party paid instantly — no invoices.
And when you publish your own signature dish, the math flips. You become the author. Your royalty comes in from every operator in every city cooking your recipe.

Pre-launch · founding operators only

Sign up before we launch. Lock in the good spots.

Regular operators compete for order flow. Founding operators get placement advantages that stay with them — claimed first come, first serve, until each city's launch group fills up.

Benefit 01

Exclusive listing placement.

Your kitchen pinned above other operators cooking the same recipe. Customers see you first when multiple kitchens can fulfill an order.

Benefit 02

Banner ad rights.

Your truck or restaurant featured in city-specific banner slots across Work.Recipes — free for the first 12 months after your city launches.

Benefit 03

First pick of the catalog.

Authorize new recipes before open-call operators. First crack at every dish that joins your city's catalog.

First come, first serve. Once a city's initial launch group fills up, founding spots for that city close. You can still sign up as an open-call operator at launch — but the placement advantages belong to whoever got there first.

Founding operator density

Your city, right now.

50 founding spots per launch city. Once full, the placement advantages close for that market.

Before you sign up

Know what you're actually signing up for.

Reserving a spot today is free and non-binding.

Signing up now puts you on the founding operators list for your city. It's a placeholder — we won't charge you anything, and you're not locked in.

But when we launch in 2027, operating on Work.Kitchen means real logistical integration with your existing business.

We'll reach out 6-9 months before launch with full onboarding. At that point you'll review and accept what operating actually involves. It's not a hobby slot.

  • Authorized recipes become part of your menu during your stated operating hours.
  • Orders route to your kitchen through our operator app — you accept or decline them in real time.
  • Inventory and ingredient sourcing get coordinated through the platform (Instacart, wholesale supply, your existing purveyors).
  • Your real business name, address, phone, and social handles attach to every order we fulfill.
  • Reviews for dishes you cook appear on your Work.Kitchen profile — and your LocalTour listing, and may cross-reference to your Google and Yelp presence.
The stakes are real. Good cooking earns you measurable foot traffic, royalty income across cities, and brand reach. Bad cooking hurts your real-world business — not just your platform score. Your kitchen's reputation on Work.Kitchen is your reputation, period. We think that's how it should be.

If that sounds right, reserve your spot below. If you need to think it over, our URL is work.kitchen — come back when you're ready.
