How to Sell Homemade Food Online in Pakistan
To sell homemade food online in Pakistan, set up your own ordering page, add your dishes with photos and prices, choose your cooking days and pickup or delivery areas, then share the link on WhatsApp and Instagram. With VizuHome your page, 3D dishes, delivery options and a marketplace listing cost a flat $15 a month — no commission, and nothing added to your customers' bills.
Can you sell food from home in Pakistan?
Yes — many people run home-based food businesses in Pakistan, from a single signature biryani to a full weekly menu. Most start by selling to their neighbourhood, family and social circle, then grow through word of mouth and a shareable ordering link. Rules on registration and licensing vary by city and can change, so check your local food authority (for example the Punjab Food Authority or Sindh Food Authority) for current requirements. Whatever the paperwork, the basics that build trust are the same: high hygiene, clear ingredient lists, and consistent quality.
How to start selling homemade food online (step by step)
- Sign up as a home chef. Start a free trial at vizuworld.com/join-kitchen with your name and kitchen name.
- Add your dishes. Add dishes, prices and photos — and 3D models if you want customers to see the food before they order.
- Set your cooking days and areas. Choose the days and times you cook, collection times, batch limits, and your pickup and delivery areas and charges.
- Publish and share your link. Publish your storefront and share the link on WhatsApp and Instagram, or print a QR code.
- Take orders and hand off. Customers order and pay; you cook and hand off for pickup, send with Bykea, or deliver yourself — keeping every rupee.
How much does it cost to sell food online?
The real cost is usually the commission, not the software. Here is how the common ways to sell homemade food in Pakistan compare:
| Way to sell | Cost | Own ordering page? | Commission? |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhatsApp & Instagram DMs | Free | No — orders in chat | No, but no system |
| Delivery marketplaces | Free to list | No — their app | Yes, per order |
| VizuHome | $15/month | Yes | None |
VizuHome is $15 a month after a 4-day free trial, with no commission and nothing added to your customers' bills. Any delivery fee you set, you keep.
How do customers pay and get their food?
You choose per order. Customers can collect from you (pickup), or you can deliver. For delivery you set your own areas and charges — and can offer free delivery over an amount you pick — then hand the order to Bykea or drop it yourself. Because you keep the delivery fee and pay no commission, more of each order stays with you.
Your own page vs WhatsApp, Instagram or Foodpanda
Selling through WhatsApp and Instagram is free but messy: orders get lost in chats, there is no menu or cart, and no record of what sold. Marketplaces bring reach but take a commission on every order and put their brand between you and your customer. Your own VizuHome page keeps orders organised in one dashboard, shows your food in 3D, and stays commission-free — while the VizuWorld marketplace still helps new customers discover you.
How to get your first customers
- Share your ordering link in your WhatsApp status and groups, and in your Instagram bio.
- Print your kitchen's QR code on packaging and flyers so happy customers can reorder and refer.
- Get listed on the VizuWorld marketplace so nearby customers searching for home food can find you.
- Ask early customers for reviews — verified reviews on your page build trust with the next buyer.
