A home cook in an apron handing a warm takeaway box to a neighbour at her front door in the evening light, with a lit kitchen visible behind and a lavender-lined porch in the foreground.

The best food on your street never had a menu.

Clartiv lets you buy home-cooked food from a verified cook near you, ready to pick up, or delivered by the cook themselves where they offer that.

Not a restaurant. Not delivery. A neighbour who cooks.

How it works

Three steps.

What you actually do, start to finish. No accounts to juggle, no cash at the door, no wondering where your money is.

  1. Find a verified cook near you

    See what a neighbour is cooking this week, with the price they set.

  2. Reserve and pay

    Your money is held securely, released at pickup. The cook keeps every cent of their food price.

  3. Get it fresh

    Pick it up at the window they give you, or have the cook drop it by. Every dish is made today, for you.

The difference

This is not a delivery app.

There is no fleet of drivers, no chains, no discount tricks. There is a person near you who cooks something extraordinary, and a system that makes buying it safe.

The honest part

You have never heard of us. Here is exactly what we're doing about it.

Buying dinner from a kitchen you haven't tried yet is a real leap. So instead of asking for trust, we are showing you exactly what stands behind every order, before you place one.

Real people, not usernames.

Every cook is confirmed as the person running the kitchen, and cleared for exactly what they are allowed to sell where they live. If the paperwork is not in order, the listing does not go live.

Money that waits for the food.

You pay when you reserve, so the cook can shop with certainty. The cook is paid once you have collected. Until then your money sits with Clartiv, not in anyone's pocket.

Nobody's home is public.

A pickup address is shared with one person, for one order, in the window around pickup. Never on a listing. Never searchable. Never sold.

For cooks

Keep the part you love. We take the rest.

Cook receives100%of the food price

If you already sell food from your kitchen, you know the week this describes. Every line on the left is a reason good cooks quit. Every line on the right is a thing Clartiv does instead.

Cooking is the easy part.

Clartiv+ tells your regulars the moment you post. Once you’ve cooked a dish a few times, it tells you how many to make. Snap a grocery receipt and it watches that dish’s margin. Your year’s orders stay on your dashboard, ready to download at tax time.

How we open a city

One community at a time, properly.

We would rather open one neighbourhood well than ten carelessly. This is the order we do it in, every time.

01

Read the local rules

Selling food made at home is legal in much of Canada, inside rules that change by province and city. We read them before anything else.

02

Verify the first cooks

In person where it matters. We help each founding cook get cleared for exactly what they want to sell.

03

Then invite buyers

Only once there is genuinely something worth buying. An empty marketplace is worse than no marketplace.

04

Stay until pickups are second nature

We stay close until every handover just works. Then we do the same in the next neighbourhood.

Founding kitchens

Real food is three streets away. Somebody has to cook it first.

The first cooks in each community shape how Clartiv works there, and they are the reason anyone else can order. If that is you, we would like to hear what you cook.
