Mobile app · iOS & Android (Expo)
Real food from people near you—not restaurants.
Menjar connects neighbors who cook with neighbors who want a homemade meal: browse by map or list, filter by dietary needs and pickup time, chat in the app, and pay or arrange pickup with clarity. We’re building trust-first tooling for local food communities.
We also care about bridging generations. The person doing the cooking is often an older neighbor who may not want to learn an app—or may find phones and forms tiring. Our assistants flow lets them ask someone they trust (family, a friend, a younger neighbor) to help with listings, messages, and coordination—so the kitchen stays theirs, and the digital heavy lifting can be shared.

What it does
One product, two sides: discover meals around you, or publish your own with photos, price, location, and availability—with optional help from an assistant when the cook prefers not to live in the app.
A cook can invite an assistant—someone more motivated or experienced with technology—to help create and manage listings, reply to guests, and keep things running while the cook focuses on the food.
List and map views, location-aware browsing, and filters so people find food that fits their day and diet.
Hosts create rich listings—title, description, pickup place, price, and dietary tags—plus draft and publish flows.
In-app chat to coordinate pickup, portions, and questions without leaving the platform.
Built with modern auth patterns (e.g. OAuth-ready) and a backend API designed for growth and clear boundaries.
Why Menjar
The name comes from Catalan menjar (“to eat” / “meal”)—a nod to shared tables and local culture. We believe home cooking is under-served by gig-economy delivery: this is peer-to-peer food with human context. Connecting generations matters to us: elders and longtime home cooks carry recipes and hospitality that deserve to reach neighbors—and when technology is a barrier, assistants close the gap without taking away ownership of the meal.
