Silo connects you with talented home cooks in your neighborhood who prepare and sell fresh, homemade meals legally, under California's AB 626 Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations (MEHKO) law. Browse drops: limited batches of fresh food posted by your local home cooks. Reserve your portion, pick it up at the scheduled time, and enjoy a meal made with real care and craft, by a neighbor you can actually meet. FOR CUSTOMERS - Discover fresh drops from MEHKO-permitted home cooks near you - Reserve your portion before it sells out - Simple pickup with QR code verification at the drop window - Pickup-first means no delivery fees and no third-party drivers - Filter by cuisine, price, distance, or "open now" - Map view to see what's cooking nearby - Claim a seat at a cook-hosted group dinner - Rate and review your meals FOR HOME COOKS - Post your drops and set your own price - Manage orders from a clean supplier dashboard - Track potential revenue, earnings, and pickup countdowns at a glance - Upload your MEHKO permit and stay compliant - Get paid directly via Stripe Connect - Low fees: 5 to 10 percent on pickups, and your first few drops are free. You keep the rest. WHY PICKUP-FIRST Most food apps pile delivery fees and markups on customers, then squeeze cooks on margin, often taking 30 to 40 percent. Silo flips that. Customers pre-order, cooks only make what sold, and you pick up at a posted window. No drivers, no inflated prices, no food sitting in a thermal bag for 40 minutes. WHY MEHKO California's AB 626 lets home cooks legally sell food made in their own kitchens, with a county permit. Silo is built around that law. Every cook is verified with a valid permit before they can take orders. We follow AB 626 limits: no more than 30 meals per day, 90 per week, and $100,000 in annual sales per cook. Launching in Los Angeles. More neighborhoods soon. Privacy: https://www.silo.market/privacy Support: https://www.silo.market/support
