Is Hungry Tum right for me?

Who Hungry Tum suits, what your kitchen needs, and who it isn't for — check if you're a fit before you apply.

Hungry Tum suits food operators with spare kitchen capacity, and founders who want a simpler way to start. Here's what you need and who it's for.

Who it's for

  • Existing kitchens and restaurants with spare capacity that want more orders.
  • People opening a new kitchen who want to start with proven brands.

What your kitchen needs

  • A delivery-capable commercial kitchen
  • A UK Food Hygiene Rating of 4 or higher
  • The equipment for the brand's menu
  • A team that can follow recipes and prep standards
  • A strong customer-rating track record

Who it's not for

  • Anyone looking for passive income — you still cook and run your kitchen.
  • Kitchens that can't meet food-safety and quality standards.

How to check if you're a fit

Apply and we'll review your kitchen and book a short call to make sure it works both ways.
