One street, not the county
First tight market: Waukesha. Sign 5–10 kitchens on a single street so short runs stay profitable.
Hometown Runner
Dinner from this town.
The food comes from the streets you walk every day. Kitchens sit together on one street, so a run stays under 30 minutes. Order as a guest, sign in, open the kitchen desk, or drive.
Drivers see the whole rate
You keep 100% of the tip. Every run pays a base rate of $4.50 plus $1.50 a mile, and the 5% commission share is on top of that.
The kitchen desk is the line
Tickets fire on this desk the moment a diner orders. This portal is the direct line to the kitchen manager — no third-party tablet and no corporate queue.
No town is live in this environment yet. Plant a Hometown Runner Seed, then open it here with its market code.
