Register your interestFor Melbourne kitchens · Onboarding from Tuesday 10 November
Your cooking. More regulars.
List your council-registered kitchen on Dabba Uncle. Customers across Melbourne find you, try your food for a week and subscribe. You set the menu, the price and the days you cook.
Well done! Your kitchen is live.
How it fits together
You cook. We bring the customers.
Think of a food market. You run your stall, we run the noticeboard and the rules, and customers pick a meal and pay in the app.
