Take orders, not DMs.
See your store before you sign up.
Add a screenshot of your Marketplace post or a photo of your menu, or paste what it says. In about 20 seconds you'll see your own store: your menu, your prices, your holidays.
Why not just the link? Facebook doesn't let other apps read posts, so a screenshot is the way in.
Answer once. They order themselves.
Paste your Vecino link in your listing, and keep it handy as your reply. That's the whole setup.
Every store looks like its owner.
Same link, your style. Pick colors, fonts and a layout that fit your food. Tap a store to order like a customer.
These are example stores. Tap one and order like a customer. Nothing gets sent.
✓ Real photoComing soon: a badge for photos the cook took of their own food. Example stores use sample photos.

Nothing about how you sell changes. Keep selling on Marketplace, keep getting paid on Venmo, and paste one link.

Get real orders
Customers pick everything themselves and send it. You get one text with the full order and the total. Tap confirm, and they can pay you.
Show up when people ask AI where to eat.
Almost half of people now ask ChatGPT or Gemini for local recommendations. A Facebook profile is invisible to them. Your Vecino page tells them exactly what you sell, for how much, and when.
- Your menu, prices, options and hours, written in the format AI assistants and Google read.
- Your city only. Never your home address or phone number.
- One switch in your dashboard. Nothing else to set up.
No one can promise an AI will recommend you. We make sure it can read you, which a Marketplace post never will.

Pick a look, make it your color, choose how your food shows. Every change shows up instantly. No design skills needed.
Made for taking food orders. Not for links.
Link pages are great for creators. Order platforms take a cut and want your Social Security number. Vecino is the menu link built for home cooks who get paid on Venmo and Zelle.

Keep your Social Security number.
Card platforms pay you through Stripe, which asks for your SSN or ITIN. Vecino never does. Your customers pay you on Venmo, Zelle or cash.

Get paid your way.
After you confirm, a deposit to hold it, or the full amount up front. You choose, so you're not refunding sold-out orders.

Questions, answered.
We ask for almost nothing. A store name and the number orders go to. No ID, no Social Security number, no immigration status, no bank info. Ever.
- A store name and the phone number you want orders texted to. That's it. The store name can be a nickname. You add your menu, and anything else (city, hours, photos) is up to you.
- No, never. We don't ask for ID, a Social Security number, an ITIN, your legal name, your immigration status or a bank account. A card is only needed when you pick a plan ($5 or $12 a month), and Stripe handles that: Vecino never sees your card number. We still never touch the money your customers pay you, it goes straight to you.
- Nobody, unless you choose. An address is optional. Your store page shows only your city and a general area you write yourself, like "near 23rd and Macdonald". If you add an exact address, directions or a photo of your gate, only customers whose order you accepted can see them. You can also leave the address out and text it yourself.
- Customers see the number you choose for orders, because their order is a text to that number. Many sellers use a free second number, like Google Voice, so their personal number stays private.
- We don't sell or share your information, and we don't give it to anyone voluntarily. Like any US company, we could be forced by a valid court order, so our best protection is keeping very little. We store your store name, order phone number, menu, and the orders customers send, and nothing about your identity or status.
- Yes. Text or email us and we'll remove your store, your menu and its orders.
- No. No commission and no transaction fees. Your first 25 orders are free, then plans are $5 or $12 a month, flat. Our first cooks can get Plus free with a code. If you charge $15 for a plate, you keep $15.
- However you already get paid: Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, PayPal, cash at pickup, or a mix. Add as many as you like. Customers see your payment options only after you confirm their order, and the money goes straight to you. Vecino never touches it.
- You share your Vecino link, for example in your Facebook Marketplace replies. Customers pick items, sizes, toppings and extras, and send you one text with the whole order and the total already added up. You reply to confirm. Then they see how to pay and where to pick up.
- Yes. Add written directions ("past the alley, blue gate on the left") and a photo of your gate, garage or table. You choose whether everyone sees them or only confirmed customers.
- In California, most home food sellers need a cottage food registration or permit from their county, and selling full meals needs a MEHKO permit where your county allows it. Our guides explain the rules in plain language. They're general information, not legal advice.
- Yes. We built Vecino for home cooks first, but it works for anything made to order or sold with options: custom cakes, nails, lashes, planters and woodwork, shirts and printing, piñatas, flowers. Custom requests let customers pick a size, a design level and a date, and upload inspiration photos, so you get the details you need to quote.
- No. We don't list you next to competitors, take orders on your behalf, or take a percentage. Vecino is your own menu link that turns DMs into clean orders.
