NeighborDish / The neighborhood swap pilot

A little extra.
A lovely surprise.

Cook one extra portion. Get a mystery meal from a neighbor. We’re building a friendlier way to share food, starting with a small, safety-first pilot.

For busy neighbors, curious eaters, and generous cooks.

01 / The ritual

Good food travels.
Not far.

Less planning, more possibility. A simple exchange that turns the people down the hall into the people you share with.

A surprise, not a guessing game.

The dish stays a mystery. Ingredients, allergens, and handling information shouldn’t. Our pilot puts clear labeling first.

01

Make a little extra.

One more portion. One more person fed. The full meal exchange is our goal; the first pilot starts with shelf-stable or packaged items, subject to local rules.

02

Share nearby. Keep the surprise.

Seal your contribution in a NeighborDish container and label ingredients and allergens. Matching brings the exchange close to home—without revealing the dish ahead of time.

03

Open it. Thank them. Repeat.

Discover what your neighbor shared. Scan the container’s QR sticker to send a thank-you, leave cook feedback, and pay the kindness forward.

Next up / The 30-day swap challenge

Start a habit. Bring a neighbor.

Our pilot plan: recruit 20 local food creators, try a month of sharing, and build toward streak badges and a neighborhood leaderboard. Small beginnings, shared momentum.

02 / A seat for everyone

Sharing starts free.

Planned pilot pricing. No paid pass needed to take part in the basic exchange.
