FAQs
Honestly answered.
Who can join HomeStove as a home chef?
HomeStove is for anyone who cooks with love at home — women, men, couples, and whole families are all welcome to show off their culinary skills. The only requirement is that you're 18 or older.
Do I need FSSAI registration/licence to join?
No, not to sign up. You can join the waitlist without FSSAI. When we activate your pincode we'll share a plain-English guide so you can register for a basic FSSAI licence yourself. It is usually cheap, around ₹2000 to ₹5000 per year depending on the state you live in.
An FSSAI license in India is a mandatory legal requirement that ensures food safety compliance, boosts consumer trust, and enables legal operation.
Key advantages include:
- Legal Compliance and Safety: It helps your business follow the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
- Consumer Trust and Credibility: Displaying the FSSAI logo builds confidence in safety, quality, and hygiene.
- Business Expansion and Growth: A valid license helps with expansion and registration on third-party delivery platforms.
- Import/Export Facilitation: The license makes customs clearance easier for food imports and exports.
- Better Market Access: Many retailers and manufacturers require a valid FSSAI license before stocking products.
- Quality Standards and Risk Mitigation: FSSAI guidelines help minimize food safety risks.
Do I need to invest any money?
There's no upfront investment in a kitchen or equipment. A small HomeStove subscription only kicks in once you turn your home cooking into a professional setup.
And unlike most platforms, we charge zero commission on your food — what you price is what you earn.
What if my area isn't live yet?
Go ahead and pre-register now — there's no subscription to take yet. We'll reach out the moment we're serviceable in your area.
We open new areas carefully to keep a healthy balance between demand and supply, so you won't be waiting long — we're on it.
How do I get paid?
Payments run through Razorpay Route: the customer's payment flows straight to your bank account. HomeStove is only the bridge — we never hold or touch your money.
Razorpay charges its standard per-transaction fee, which is deducted from your selling price, and the balance reaches your account within 24 hours.
