Hi, I'm Ellie! 👋

I help neighbors in your apartment buy and sell home-cooked food — no strangers, no delivery riders, just next door.

Buy today, sell tomorrow

What's inside

Built for one building, not the whole city

Every feature exists to make trading food with your actual neighbors simple and safe.

Ellie's watching your back 🐘

Every order, chat, and notification carries Ellie's little nudge — a reminder that this is neighbors trading food, not a faceless marketplace.

🏢

Apartment-scoped

Every listing, order, and chat is scoped to your own apartment community — you're never browsing or selling to strangers across town.

🥗

Veg / Non-veg & long shelf life

Filter dishes by food type, or browse long-shelf-life items like pickles and podi that don't need same-day pickup.

🔔

Real-time order updates

A tap-to-refresh banner the moment a listing or order changes — plus push notifications when your order's status moves.

💬

Buyer & seller messaging

Coordinate pickup times or ask about a dish directly with the other side of the order — no need to exchange phone numbers.

🛍️

Cart & checkout

Add multiple dishes from multiple neighbors to one cart, then check out in a single pass.

📋

Order history

See every order — pending, confirmed, cancelled — filtered the way you want, from either side of the trade.

How it works

Your building, your food, your terms

EllieEats is built around one idea: the best food often comes from two doors down, not two towns over.

  • ✓ Join your apartment community — every listing you see is from a neighbor in the same building.
  • ✓ Switch between Buyer and Seller any time, from the same account.
  • ✓ Pick up in person — no delivery riders, no unknown middlemen.
  • ✓ Chat directly with the other side of the order to coordinate pickup.
🏘️
Scoped to your community, by design.

Offers, Requests, Orders, and chat messages are all partitioned per apartment — nothing you post is ever visible outside your own building.
