Over 80% of our chefs are women running kitchens from home or a branch.

Affordable Nutrition

The problem we started with

Restaurant food in Pakistan has become expensive and heavy, while thousands of skilled home cooks — mostly women — have no way to sell what they already cook every day. Students, bachelors and factory workers end up eating the same oily plate for years.

Dastarkhwan connects those two realities: verified home kitchens with fixed hygiene standards on one side, and families who want food that tastes like ghar ka khana on the other.

2026 impact goals

  • Onboard 150 verified home chefs across Punjab
  • Open 15 city kitchens, including Islamabad and Multan
  • Serve 1,000 subsidised student mess seats every month
  • Keep average delivery under 40 minutes in base radius
  • 100% recyclable and leak-proof packaging
