The app

Find food. Meet local food entrepreneurs.

Open Potlly and you are already browsing. Set your area, search a dish, and see who is cooking it a short drive away — no sign-up, no wall.

  • Discovery built around where you are

    Near You, Popular and Top Rated are all sorted by the area you set — by GPS or typed in by hand.

  • Search by dish, kitchen or area

    Looking for egusi specifically? Search it and see every kitchen near you that makes it, with prices side by side.

  • Save what you love

    Tap the heart on any dish or kitchen. Found something you love? Save it for later and it is waiting on your next visit.

Kitchen profile

Everything you need to decide, on one screen.

A kitchen profile is the whole pitch: who runs it, what they make, what it costs, how far they deliver, and what other people thought.

  • Rating and reviews up front

    An average from anonymous reviews, so you can judge a kitchen before you commit.

  • The full menu with real prices

    Every dish the kitchen makes, priced by the food entrepreneur. Nothing added on top.

  • Delivery area, fee and how to pay

    You see where they deliver, what it costs and that it's e-Transfer or cash before you place an order.

  • Order now or pre-order

    Pick your dishes, add your address and choose when you want it. Then follow the order from requested to completed.

Local food entrepreneurs

Good food starts locally.

Behind every kitchen is someone who cares about what they serve. Discover local food entrepreneurs, support small kitchens, and enjoy food made with care.

Most of the kitchens on Potlly started the same way — cooking for family, then for friends, then for a WhatsApp group that got too big to manage. Potlly gives that cooking a proper front door: a profile, a menu, a price list and a way to be found by the people who want a plate of home.

  • Cooked to order

    Nothing sits under a heat lamp.

  • Priced by the entrepreneur

    Potlly does not mark anything up.

  • Paid direct

    e-Transfer or cash, settled with the food entrepreneur.

For customers

Built for how people actually order from local food entrepreneurs.

Potlly is a way to find someone, not a system to route your food through.

  • Food that is actually nearby

    Results are ordered by distance from the area you set, so a 15-minute delivery never sits below one across the city.

  • Browse without signing up

    No account is needed to search, open a kitchen or read reviews. Create one when you are ready to order or to sync your favorites.

  • See the real price

    The price on the card is the food entrepreneur's price. Potlly adds no service fee and no commission on top of it.

  • Save your favorite kitchens

    Heart a dish or a kitchen and it is on your Favorites tab the next time you are deciding what to eat.

  • Follow your order live

    See it move from requested to accepted, preparing, out for delivery and completed. Order now or pre-order for later.

  • Pay by e-Transfer or cash

    No card to enter, no wallet to top up. You settle with the food entrepreneur directly by Interac e-Transfer or cash when the food arrives.

For kitchens

Turn your kitchen into a local food business.

If you already cook for people, you already have the hard part. Potlly gives you the shopfront: a profile people can find, a menu they can read, and a rating that grows with every good plate you send out.

  • Create your kitchen profile

    Photos, description, and the areas you deliver to.

  • Add and edit your menu

    Dishes, prices and notes. Changes go live immediately.

  • Set your own prices and fees

    Your price, your delivery fee. Potlly takes no cut.

  • Manage orders in the app

    Requests arrive in the app. Accept them, then move each one from preparing to out for delivery to completed.

  • Build a reputation

    Anonymous reviews add up to a rating that lifts your visibility.

  • Stay in control

    Pause your kitchen, hide a dish, or update your hours any time.

Free to list. You keep the full price of every order.

Ratings & reviews

Real kitchens. Real experiences.

Every review on Potlly is anonymous. No name, no photo, no profile — just a rating and what the food was like.
