Cooking from home and sharing your dishes with others is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have.

With Homlunch, you can turn your love for cooking into a real project, connecting with people who appreciate authentic flavors and homemade warmth.

But besides cooking with love, it’s also important to do it responsibly and within local regulations.
You don’t need complicated paperwork or restaurant permits, just care, cleanliness, and professionalism.

 

🏠 1. Your Kitchen Is Your Workshop

Being a Homlunch host means opening your kitchen to new opportunities.
You don’t need a commercial setup, just a space that’s clean, safe, and organized for preparing food.

Here are some key practices that show professionalism and care:

  • Keep your kitchen clean and well-ventilated.

  • Use potable water and clean utensils.

  • Separate raw and cooked foods.

  • Store ingredients properly and maintain freshness.

🧼 Your kitchen doesn’t have to look like a restaurant — it just needs to feel safe, warm, and full of care.

 

📘 2. Understanding and Following Local Guidelines

In Mexico, general food safety standards apply to anyone preparing food for others, even from home.
Homlunch encourages all hosts to act responsibly and in line with local food handling practices.

This means:

  • Preparing and storing food in hygienic conditions.

  • Respecting neighborhood or local community guidelines.

  • Being open to feedback and following local health recommendations if necessary.

✅ Following the rules isn’t about bureaucracy — it’s about protecting your guests, your business, and your reputation.

 

🍅 3. Safe Food Handling Is Part of the Recipe

Homlunch highly recommends that hosts learn about basic food handling and hygiene practices.
