Help & policies
How Meraki works, your orders and refunds, your data, and how to register a kitchen.
How Meraki works
- Order in the app. Find home kitchens near you in the Meraki app and send your order. The kitchen has 15 minutes to accept it.
- Pick it up. The kitchen prepares your order, and you collect it there. Meraki is pickup only for now.
- Pay the cook when you collect. By cash or bank transfer, whichever the kitchen accepts. If it takes transfers, the details show on your order once it accepts.
- No fees. Meraki charges no fees during the founding period. You pay the total shown in the app, and all of it goes to the kitchen.
- Help if something's wrong. Report a problem in the app within 2 hours of pickup, and we'll help you settle it with the cook.
Questions
When and where does Meraki open?
We're starting with one neighborhood in Al Madinah, on iPhone first. There's no date yet. Join the waitlist and we'll email you once, on the day the app opens.
Is there delivery?
Not yet. Meraki is pickup only: you collect your order from the kitchen. Delivery comes only once it's licensed.
How do I pay?
You pay the cook when you collect, by cash or bank transfer, whichever the kitchen accepts. Meraki charges no fees during the founding period.
Can I cancel an order?
Yes, for free, until the kitchen accepts it. After that the kitchen has started cooking, so you can't cancel in the app. The refund policy explains what happens if something's wrong.
Who cooks the food?
Home cooks in your neighborhood. Each kitchen holds a permit to sell (a Freelance Document in the Productive Families category, or a CR), and its cook holds a Balady health certificate. We check both before the kitchen can sell.
I cook at home. How do I join?
Start your permits now: the cook guide lists them in order. Then join the waitlist as a cook, and register your kitchen in the app when it opens.
