I love cooking for my family, but I never thought I could earn from it without the headache of running a business. Before nana, I tried selling on social media, endless DMs, missed orders, and customers not showing up. It was exhausting. With nana, my store was set up in just one day, without any fees or commissions, because they’re a new startup eager to support home cooks. I keep 100% of what I earn and choose exactly when I cook and when I don’t. I finally have control over my time and my income, and I still get to do what I love.

I joined nana only a few weeks after they launched. At first, I thought, ‘They’re new…will they really help me get customers?’ But from day one, they set up my complete store for free, guided me through every step, and even promoted my tacos in their marketing campaigns. I’ve already sold to people outside my own circle, something I struggled with before. No fees, no commissions, and I get to set my own prices. They might be a young company, but the support feels like they’ve been doing this for years.

I moved to a new city and didn’t know a soul. When I found nana, I saw they were just starting out, but they had something rare, time and attention for each cook. They promoted my pastas on social media using their own budget, so within two weeks I had strangers ordering my food. I didn’t have to figure out marketing or delivery, I just cooked. Even as a startup, they’ve made it easier for me to focus on what I love doing while helping me grow.

I joined nana during their beta phase, when they were still getting their first group of home cooks on board. I thought I’d be figuring things out alone, but instead, they guided me through a simple onboarding, set up my store and menu for me, and helped me test my dishes with trial groups. Even though they’re new, they’re already investing in promoting my food truck store, something I never imagined a startup could do. Now I have paying customers, full control over my schedule, and a platform that’s helping me grow my business.
