Trust & safety
Cooked by people you can trust.
Mealed isn't a free-for-all. Every chef on the platform is vetted, every kitchen is reviewed, and every dish gets rated by the people who ate it.
ID verification
Every chef passes a government-ID check before they can list a single meal.
360° kitchen scan
Chefs upload a video walkthrough of their prep kitchen. Reviewed by our team before approval.
Sink visible in prep
We require a clearly visible handwashing sink in the prep area. Non-negotiable.
Food handler credential
ServSafe or local food handler permits encouraged. CFPM gets a badge.
Per-dish reviews
Reviews aren't just for the chef every meal gets rated by the people who ate it.

A small protection fee on every order covers refunds for quality or safety issues.
