A Moroccan family's table, in three steps.
You say what you would like and what you will pay. Families near you answer with what they are cooking. You choose one, and her address arrives at once.
You name the price, around 120 MAD a person · paid in cash, directly to the family
You name the price
Three steps, and no surprise at the end of them
Ask, and name your price
Say how many you are and what a meal is worth to you, a person. The app starts from the usual price of the meal of the hour, and the number is yours to change. The first time, you sign up with your email and a six-digit code, your name as on your ID, and a check of your passport or ID card with a short selfie: about three minutes, once.
Families answer, and you choose
Only the families near you are asked. Each says which meal she serves, at what time, and what the whole table comes to: your price, or her own. You choose one, or turn one down and wait for the next.
The address, then the table
Her address arrives the moment you choose: nothing waits, your ID was checked when you signed up. You eat what she cooked for her own family, and you pay her the agreed total, in cash, at the table. Afterwards you rate the meal, and she rates her guests.
The hour names the meal, and the meal its price.
You ask for a meal, on the table within two hours. The price the app starts from is the usual one for the meal of the hour, and yours to change. A family answers with the meal she serves and says which: a lunch answered to a morning ask costs what a lunch costs.

Now, or on the day you choose
Now: a table within two hours, near where you are. The hour names the meal and its usual price; a family may answer with another meal, and says which.
Later: a table for a day up to two weeks away. Choose the city you will be in; the families there answer with their meal, their time and their price, and you choose one before the day.
What you pay, and to whom
The family, in cash, the total you agreed, and nothing to Homnna. Nobody expects a tip.
A usual dinner is around 120 MAD a person.
Your place at the table is one question away.
