So, how does Housetaurant℠ work? First, qualified nonprofit charities authorize monthly fundraiser dinner parties online at Housetaurant.com. Second, private homeowners list their kitchens and availability at Housetaurant.com, too.

Next, hosts voluntarily agree to cook gourmet meals ordered from approved meal-kit delivery service providers. Lastly, member donors receive alert notifications or find local events using the Housetaurant℠ mobile application.

After choosing an activity, users submit quid pro quo contributions and then they may personally invite guests via e-mail and sms text. It’s that easy.

And, it’s legal. As a service mark of WHOmentors.com, Inc., a Housetaurant℠ fundraiser dinner party is exempt from regulation as a food facility! For more information, visit housetaurant.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkRJBIoETs8.
