How it works

Real homemade food, made by real people in your neighborhood

TrulyServd is a marketplace for local makers sharing what they love to cook. Every item you order here is made in someone's home kitchen — by a person who loves cooking and wants to share what they make. Not batch-cooked, not frozen, not reheated. Made for you, the day you pick it up.

Ordering is straightforward

1. Browse and discover. Browse homemade dishes and treats from local makers near you. You'll see pickup windows on each listing — usually 1 to 3 days out.

2. Pre-order. Everything is made fresh after you order. Each maker works in small batches and needs a little lead time — that's what makes these goods worth ordering.

3. Arrange payment. Chat with your maker to arrange payment — Interac e-Transfer, cash on pickup, or whatever works for both of you.

4. Pick up directly from the maker. You'll see the exact pickup address and instructions after your order is confirmed. Please arrive within the pickup window the maker has set.

This isn't a grocery store run. That's the point.
