Turn one-time tasters into monthly regulars.
Home food is a trust business. HeyHomie answers the FSSAI and “is it really homemade?” questions instantly — then nudges her back before the jar is empty.

Sound familiar?
She loved your mango pickle. By the time the jar’s empty, she’s forgotten your name. No reminder, no reorder.
What if every taster trusted you in 30 seconds, ordered without you typing — and quietly turned into a monthly subscription?
The pain
Three things quietly costing you sales.
01 · Pain
The same trust questions, on every single chat.
“FSSAI registered ho?” “Preservative to nahi?” “Ghar pe banta hai na?” One weak answer and the sale is gone — and you're typing it with masala still on your hands.
02 · Pain
Mango season buries your real orders.
Thirty messages at once — “ek kg aam ka”, “mixed milega?”, “kab deliver?”. By evening the genuine orders are lost in the pile, and the batch is half-promised to people you can't even re-find.
03 · Pain
Your most loyal regular quietly lapses.
Ghee uncle ordered 1kg every month for a year — your most reliable income. This Diwali you were swamped and forgot to message him. He picked up a tin from the kirana. Gone, for want of one reminder.
How it works for you
From first message to repeat customer.
01
Lead capture · trust first
Every enquiry meets your FSSAI proof in seconds.
A reel, a society group, a QR on the jar — all land in one inbox where the bot greets her, shares the FSSAI number and the full price list instantly. Trust gets built while you're still cooking.
Outcome — Pre-sale chat time drops from 8 minutes to 30 seconds. She feels safe enough to order on the first chat.

The trust questions, answered
Shelf life, taste, ‘ghar jaisa?’ — handled instantly.
“Kitne din chalega?” “Taste authentic hoga?” The bot answers with the ingredient and storage card, real reorder counts, and offers a small sampler — the low-risk way to win a taste-anxious first buyer.
Outcome — First-timers convert because they can try ₹140 before they commit ₹450.

Catalogue, not a re-typed price list
She orders in two taps, not ten messages.
One clean catalogue — pickles, ghee, bakes, combos, festival hampers — that you drop in any chat or your bio. No more typing “mango ₹450, lemon ₹480, ghee ₹850” for the hundredth time.
Outcome — Order-taking falls from 2-3 hours a day to under 45 minutes.

04
Advance for made-to-order
No more buying ingredients for a cake that gets cancelled.
For made-to-order bakes the bot collects a fair UPI advance before you prep — explained politely so it feels reasonable. The Saturday cake that used to get cancelled on Friday night no longer costs you.
Outcome — Wasted prep on no-shows goes from frequent to rare.

Subscription that runs your kitchen
The monthly reorder you used to forget — sent for you.
Your ghee uncle, your weekly-bread family, your fortnightly-pickle regulars — each gets a warm, timely reorder nudge with a small perk. The recurring income you were losing to memory now comes back on its own.
Outcome — Repeat & subscription rate within 6 months climbs from ~25% to ~50% — predictable monthly income.

Festival rush, organised
Diwali's flood — orders, dates and addresses in one place.
Ladoo, mathri, hampers, mango-season pickles — the spikes that used to jumble in your diary now arrive as clean, auto-confirmed orders, each with its delivery date, so nothing is double-booked or missed.
Outcome — You take the festival rush at full capacity without a single dropped order.

Real story
What changed for Anita P.
“My pickles always had a loyal base, but I lost regulars just because I forgot to follow up mid-batch. Now the reorder reminders go out on their own and the subscription box has over a hundred families. I finally know what each month will bring.”

Questions, answered
The things sellers ask us first.
Are you FSSAI registered and hygienic?
Your FSSAI number sits on the storefront and every jar, with an optional kitchen/hygiene clip — so every buyer sees the credential without you repeating it. (FSSAI registration is also legally required to sell food online.)
Any preservatives? How long does it last?
Each product carries its ingredients and a clear shelf-life + storage note, so buyers feel safe and spoilage complaints drop.
Will it taste homemade? Can I try first?
Yes — small sampler packs plus genuine reorder counts (“200+ jars sold, 80% reorder”) let a taste-anxious buyer try low-risk before committing.
For a custom cake, do I pay an advance?
A fair partial UPI advance is taken before prep, with a clear cancellation cut-off — so no perishable ingredients are wasted on a no-show.
Will it arrive without leaking or breaking?
Leak-proof, tamper-proof packaging with tracking in the chat — and a simple ‘damaged on delivery = replacement with a photo’ policy.
