How You Get Paid
- When you list a dish you choose your take-home per meal, up to $17. Kechen sets the customer's menu price from that ($11 or $22 per meal today) and keeps the difference as its platform fee.
- You are paid your take-home for every meal delivered, by transfer to your own Stripe account. You will need to finish Stripe's identity and bank verification before payouts can be sent.
- If you deliver orders yourself, the per-trip delivery fee the customer pays is added to your transfer — once per trip, not per meal.
What You'll Need
You'll go through a verification process that includes identity verification and meeting local food-safety requirements. We'll guide you through every step so you can start cooking with confidence.
