My team is building a prototype for a digital meal-hosting platform. Our target userbase consists of homecooks (no restaurants/cafes) and meal consumers.
We see two possible scenarios for our revenue-model. In the first, the homecooks can charge the consumers per meal, and in turn, owe a commission to the platform. In the second, the meals are not charged but both category of users pay a platform subscription fee with recurring payments.
As this operation involves food consumption, we have the following questions:
(1) What types of food-related legal compliance shall be required with this service both at the:
(i) homecook user's, and
(ii) the platform operator's end?
(2) How often will be the renewal of compliance in (1) required?
(3) What will be the associated costs with (1) and (2)?
Thank you
Best Regards,
