Crewdish licenses original recipes from talented chefs and serves them on our food truck — with your name featured on every dish. Every sale earns you a 12% royalty. You keep your recipes forever.
Submit 1–5 original recipes using our simple template. Any cuisine. Any background. We're looking for food with a soul and a story — not a culinary school pedigree.
Our kitchen team reviews your submission. If there's a fit, we schedule a tasting session — virtual or in person — to see your food in action. We give you honest feedback either way.
We sign a chef license agreement — you keep full ownership of your recipes. We put your dish on the Crewdish menu with your name, photo, and story front and center.
Every dish sold earns you 12% of the sale price — tracked automatically through our POS system. We send you a royalty report and payment by the 15th of every month.
As Crewdish grows to new cities and new operators, your recipes go with us. More markets means more royalties — from work you've already done.
"We're not looking for restaurant-trained chefs. We're looking for food that carries a story — the recipe your grandmother made, the dish that defines your culture, the flavor that no one else in this city is serving."
— Zantrel Franklin, Founder, Crewdish LLC
Every dish sold puts money in your pocket. The math is simple — and it compounds as we grow. Here's what your royalty income looks like at different sales volumes.
Crewdish licenses your recipes — we never take ownership. You can cook your food anywhere, in your own restaurant, at events, at home. We get a license. You keep the IP.
Your chef dashboard shows you every sale, every dish, every day — in real time. A detailed royalty report hits your inbox monthly. No mystery. No trust required — just data.
We don't hide chefs behind the logo. Your name, your photo, and your story are on every menu, every box, every platform we build. Your culinary identity is the product.
Submit your recipes once. Earn every month after that. As Crewdish opens new cities and brings on new operators, your royalty potential grows — without additional work from you.
During your pilot period, we guarantee you $250/month per active recipe — regardless of how many dishes sell. We share the risk of getting started. You don't carry it alone.
The first chefs on the platform shape what Crewdish becomes — the menus, the story, the brand. Founding chefs get priority featuring, first access to new markets, and a direct line to the founder.
We're building a platform that reflects the full diversity of American cooking — not just what you'd find in a fine dining kitchen. If your food has a story, we want to hear it.
