The Cook Paradox

The Salary + Grocery Trap

You pay a salary. Then you buy groceries. Then you pay for waste. With Myna, the price is fixed, transparent, and often 30% cheaper.

The "Emergency Leave"

Cooks have lives. They get sick. They travel. Who cooks then? You do. Myna never takes a day off unless you want us to.

Limited Repertoire

A home cook has 10-15 dishes they do well. After month 2, it gets boring. Our chefs cycle through 100+ recipes to keep your palate excited.

The Supply Manager Role

"Madam, tomatoes are over." "Sir, oil finished." Stop running to the store at 9 PM. We handle the supply chain end-to-end.

Myna Kitchen vs hiring a cook

A cook brings home-cooked food, but also groceries to buy, a kitchen to maintain, a menu to plan every day and a gap whenever the cook takes leave. Myna delivers ready-to-eat home-style meals instead.

  • No groceries, gas, utensils or cleaning — meals arrive packed and ready.
  • No leave days: meals arrive every scheduled day in fixed delivery windows.
  • No daily menu planning: the menu rotates weekly and you swap dishes in the app.
  • Pay only for what you eat: cancel days before the cut-off for a wallet refund.
  • Clear pricing from ₹120 a day per person.
