How SharePlates works
From your kitchen to a neighbor's table in three honest steps.
01
Verify your account
Confirm your email and sign our non-liability agreement. We're just neighbors helping neighbors.
02
Share or browse
Sharers list every ingredient, when it was cooked, and a pickup option. Eaters list allergies and only see safe plates.
03
Pick up & enjoy
Meet at the sharer's home or a public spot like the library. Rate and favorite the cooks you love.
Built for trust, not commerce.
Sharers can't charge a cent. We exist to cut food waste and feed people who need a meal. Every account is email-verified, every member signs a waiver, and every plate lists every ingredient — including oils and spices.
- Pet-free / smoke-free home flags
- Pickup from home or a public location
- Allergy auto-filtering for eaters
- Star ratings and favorite sharers
