About ummi
Our Mission
Ummi exists to help home cooks build trust with their customers. We believe that some of the best food comes from home kitchens—recipes passed down through generations, dishes made with love and care, flavors that remind you of family.
But home cooks face a challenge: how do you show new customers that you're legitimate, safe, and worth trying? That's where ummi comes in.
What We Do
Ummi gives every home cook a single page where they can showcase everything that builds trust:
Collect and display customer reviews
Show permits, certifications, and food handler cards
Let customers see where the magic happens
Share your background and cooking journey
How It Works
For home cooks: Create your free page in about 10 minutes. Add your menu, photos, and credentials. Share your unique link anywhere—Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, or print a QR code for farmers markets and events.
For customers: Browse local home cooks, read reviews, see their credentials, and find your next favorite meal. When you find someone you like, reach out to them directly through their preferred channels.
Our Values
No commission, ever
We don't take a cut of your sales. Your customers are your customers.
Transparency over everything
We help cooks show their credentials, but we don't verify them. We believe in giving customers the information they need to make their own informed decisions.
Community first
Home cooking is about community—families, neighbors, and cultures coming together over food. We're here to strengthen those connections.
Why "ummi"?
"Ummi" (أمي) means "my mother" in Arabic. In many cultures, the best food comes from home—from mothers, grandmothers, and family members who cook with love. We chose this name to honor the tradition of home cooking and the people who keep it alive.
