Home Kitchen as a Business Type

I suggest expanding the registration options in Karenderia to include individuals who prepare and sell homemade food without needing to own a physical restaurant.

1. Business Type

Add an option during merchant registration to select the business type:

• Restaurant

• Home Kitchen

2. Available Services

Home Kitchen owners can use the existing services already available in the system, such as:

• Pickup

• Delivery

• Dine-in

• Takeout

They can select one or multiple services depending on their business needs and local regulations.

3. Customer App

Add a Home Kitchens category to allow customers to discover home-based food businesses and order from them.

4. Privacy and Verification

Provide an option to protect the home address and support verification of any required permits according to local regulations.

5. Integration with the Existing System

All menu management, order management, and service options already exist in Karenderia. Therefore, this suggestion does not require a new application or a separate paid add-on.

It simply requires adding Home Kitchen as a new business type during merchant registration and integrating it with the existing features.

Goal: Expand Karenderia to support home-based food businesses, attract more merchants and customers, and make better use of the existing system without unnecessary complexity or duplicated functionality.
