Selling party and bulk orders on Bloom, step by step
- Turn on your kitchen. In Bloom's Kitchen tab, tap Sell your home cooking: a name, what you cook, pickup or delivery and how you get paid. Three steps, free.
- Add your dishes. Each dish once: a photo, the price, the portion (serves 2, 500 g, 6 pieces) and the allergens.
- Plan your cook days. Tick the days you cook, how many portions of each dish, and when orders close. Days that repeat every week open by themselves.
- Share your menu. Bloom makes a menu picture and message for WhatsApp, your status, Instagram and your building group, the moment it's live.
- Cook, hand over, get paid. Orders count down your portions. Buyers pay you directly by UPI, bank, any payment app or cash. No commission.
Rules for selling food from home differ by country and city. Bloom lets you add a registration or permit number where you have one; check what your area asks for.
Questions
How do party hosts find me?
Hosts post requests ("biryani for 12 on Saturday") and nearby kitchens send offers. Accepting an offer makes it an order.
Can I ask for an advance?
Yes. Buyers pay you directly; agree the advance in your offer note and mark payments received.
Do kitty parties order from home chefs?
Yes: a kitty meeting in Bloom can post a request to home chefs nearby straight from its menu.
