How Samara Works

From menu to table

A calmer way to order local food.

Samara is built for planned meals: choose the place and day first, then order from a chef who has the capacity to cook it properly.

The full journey

Five clear steps. No hidden marketplace logic.

01

Set your location

Enter your Eircode so Samara can check which approved chefs serve your area.

02

Choose a delivery day

Browse flexible availability or select a date within the order-ahead window.

03

Pick one chef and dish

Review the cuisine, price, ingredients and allergens before adding the dish.

04

The chef cooks to capacity

Confirmed orders follow the chef’s cutoff and daily capacity rather than an on-demand queue.

05

Follow the order

Your account shows the order as it moves from payment through acceptance, cooking, delivery and completion.

Built-in boundaries

The rules protect both sides of the table.

One chef and one delivery date per basket, verified profiles only, declared allergens and capacity-aware ordering.
