HOTREC ‘MEAL-SHARING’ PLATFORM POLICY PAPER – MAY 2018
Staying at home / practical purpose
Collection platforms work via customers ordering
food using an app. Platforms allow customers to
order home-cooked meals by hobby chefs in a
neighborhood. Customers pick up their meals from
the hobby chef’s house, after checking the scheduled
menus and placing an online order. Last but not least,
there are a few cases of platforms which provide
meal delivery and private dining services for seniors
and other groups who aren’t always able to cook for
themselves.
