Questions

  • Is this delivery?

    No. Kitchen Counter-Measures is pickup-first. You preorder ahead, then pick up from the cook at their listed window or meetup spot.

  • Are meals available every day?

    Availability depends on local cooks. Listings show open preorder windows for the week ahead, not on-demand delivery.

  • Can I sell food from home?

    Rules vary by state, county, city, tribal jurisdiction, food type, and preparation setting. Some foods may qualify under a home-food pathway; others may require licensing or a commercial kitchen. Review the official resources for your location before listing.

  • Can commercial kitchens join?

    Yes. Partner kitchens, churches, community spaces, and commissary kitchens can help local cooks expand what they offer.
