Community pricing — Toronto East

Home-cooked,
made together.

Your neighbours cooking real batches to order. The more people join in, the lower the price for everyone — and nobody is charged if the batch doesn’t reach its minimum.

How Dabba works

Three steps between you and a home-cooked meal made by your neighbour.

Find a batch you want

Browse meals from home cooks in your neighbourhood. Every batch has a deadline and a minimum number of orders needed to go ahead.

Claim your portion before the deadline

Lock in your portion. Your card is authorised at the ceiling price. As more neighbours join, the community price drops — you’re only ever charged the final lower price.

Pick up from your neighbour

If the batch reaches its minimum, the cook prepares your meal. You collect it from a nearby hub or directly from the cook’s kitchen.

Trust & safety

Allergen safety first

Your allergen profile is surfaced before every order. Severe conflicts block checkout until you confirm you’ve seen them.

Price only drops

Your card is authorised at the ceiling. You’re only charged the final community price, never more — and only if the batch goes ahead.

Nobody charged if it misses

If a batch doesn’t reach its minimum by the deadline, it doesn’t go ahead — and nobody is charged anything.

You know your cook

Every cook is a real person in your neighbourhood. See their profile, their kitchen, and what they’re cooking before you order.
