    🎉 Celebrating with My Premium Feijoada – A Taste of Home and Heart 🎉 Feijoada has always held a special place in my heart. For those who may not know, feijoada is a traditional Brazilian stew made with black beans, a variety of meats, and rich, comforting flavors. My premium version is crafted with only high-quality pork meat, bringing out the best in every bite. With my birthday coming up this week, I wanted to give back to my clients in a meaningful way. So, for the first time in four years, I made my Premium Feijoada available for pre-order, delivering it on Sunday, the perfect day to enjoy this classic Brazilian comfort food. It was a one-time event, a celebration to share my love for feijoada and connect with each of you. The response was amazing! We sold more than expected, and the feedback was overwhelming. People shared how delicious it was and called it “divine.” Thank you to everyone who made this experience so special. Sharing my passion and bringing a taste of Brazil to your tables means the world to me.

    The facts are in front of us: We’re witnessing a resurgence of interest in home-cooked food and a rise in independent micro-food entrepreneurs. Two recent articles from The New York Times spotlight how innovative home kitchen businesses are thriving alongside the growing popularity of food sales on platforms like Facebook Marketplace, which enables home cooks to reach eager customers. However, a recent report from Forbes suggests that traditional home cooking might be declining, indicating a concerning trend where home-cooked meals could become a thing of the past (http://bit.ly/4fnm8P2). Despite this, people still yearn for the comfort of dining at home and sharing meals with loved ones. Instead of cooking themselves, they are increasingly bringing restaurant experiences into their homes. At Cookin Inc., we believe that home-cooked meals carry a personal and meaningful touch that connects us to our roots and each other. More and more people are looking to build their home businesses, taking this culinary passion from their kitchens to the community. We are dedicated to ensuring that the essence of home cooking remains vibrant and relevant. Independent chefs and micro-food entrepreneurs are the true champions of sustaining this tradition. That’s why we’ve built a platform that empowers these talented individuals, providing them with the tools they need to succeed, and chefs love it! *Food creators can sell like pros with Cookin’s powerful tools. *Independent chefs operate their kitchens solo while managing orders, customers, and deliveries effortlessly. *Small business owners can scale operations without scaling expenses, spending less time managing their kitchen space and more time cooking. *Occasional food sellers have the flexibility they need: from special drops to pop-ups, they can handle occasional food sales effortlessly with one simple tool. Every essential feature, one simple platform. https://lnkd.in/gmXqAP-X #HomeCooking #MicroEntrepreneurship #Cookin #FoodInnovation #SupportLocal

    I'll be honest, I hesitated about our new website headline: "Food sales, simplified" We’ve made some updates to our homepage (cookin.com) to better reflect the Chefs who love Cookin and more clearly communicate the value of our platform. It’s true — Cookin makes it easier for independent food creators to sell their food. But I want to be real about what that means: Success, however you define it, still takes work, effort, and commitment. What do the top chefs using Cookin all have in common? They’re hustling. They’re creative, committed, and putting in the work. The difference is, with Cookin Inc., they can focus their energy on finding customers and creating amazing food—without worrying about the hundreds of tasks Cookin takes care of. “I had reached my breaking point with taking orders and payments on my cell phone. I was sweating bullets every day in dying need of a website. I signed up with no questions. This is the best thing I’ve ever added to my business.” – Kevon (@saucy_chef_burgerkitchen) At Cookin, we provide chefs with everything they need in one place. We’re breaking down barriers that have made it hard for independent chefs to build something of their own outside the traditional restaurant model. Online storefront; integrated delivery; pickup; full order management; ichef support; marketing tools; and customer insights. So yes, with Cookin, food sales are 10X simpler (at least). And the food creators out there with ambition and drive are going to have no easier place, and no better team to support them than what they’ll get with Cookin - ever. #FoodDelivery #FoodEntrepreneur #FoodTech #SmallBusiness #Entrepreneur

    Celebrating a chef creator's successes is always a pleasure, especially when their innovations surprise me! Take J.R. for example: A talented chef based in Toronto, J.R. remains active in the restaurant scene while also working to diversify his revenue streams. This summer, he launched a unique one-day-only "Drop" through the Cookin Inc. platform. Cookin "Drops" provide chefs with a user-friendly online storefront that simplifies food ordering, inventory management, delivery, pickup, and payment processing. These storefronts can operate on a pre-order basis, allowing chefs to manage consumer demand and enhance their operational efficiencies. Our goal - make it simple for J.R. by giving him marketing tools, such as "Notify Your Network", our SMS feature, which enables chefs to communicate their Drop details directly to their customers. J.R.’s story is just one example of how Cookin is enabling Chefs, in 450 different cities across North America, to innovate and connect with their communities. Checkout J.R.'s story and his culinary journey, here: https://lnkd.in/gV9U4a_j #ChefStory #Drops #FoodDelivery #FoodTech
