Every post can earn.
Share what you cook. When someone orders from your post, whether a MealKit, a home-cooked plate or a chef’s dinner, you earn a share of it. Your tier only ever goes up, and you’re paid every Friday.

How a post earns
Someone cooks it. You’re paid for it.
Every dish on PikaSocial links to a way to have it. When your post is where someone found their supper, the order remembers you.
Post what you cook
A reel, a recipe or tonight’s plate, linked to the dish so people can cook it or order it.
People cook it
Every home cook who makes your recipe joins its cook chain, twists and all.
See what it sold
Reach, saves, cooked-it and orders driven, post by post, with your earnings beside them.
Paid on Friday
Earnings are paid out every Friday to your M-Pesa, with a monthly statement.
Your tier
Three tiers, only up.
Every creator starts as a Rising cook. Each night we look at your following and the orders your posts drove, and move you up when you are ready. Each tier earns a bigger share, and nobody is ever moved down.
- Your share is fixed when the order is placed, so a promotion never changes past earnings
- Sponsored posts from brands pay you your share of the fee
- If an order is refunded, its share comes back out of later earnings

From the day you are approved
Established

What exactly do I earn from?
Orders that come from your posts: when someone orders a MealKit, a home-cooked plate or a chef’s dinner from something you shared, a share of that order is yours. Sponsored posts and live gifts earn too.How is my share decided?
By your tier. Rising cooks, Established creators and PikaBox partners each earn a bigger share than the tier before. Your share is fixed on each earning the moment it happens.When am I paid?
Every Friday, to your M-Pesa, for everything confirmed that week. The studio shows confirmed and pending earnings separately.Can I be moved down a tier?
No. Tiers are reviewed every night and only ever go up.What happens if an order is refunded?
The share from that order follows what the customer finally paid, so a refund takes back the matching part, from your later earnings.Do I need to be a chef?
No. Home cooks, bakers, families and food lovers all create on PikaBox. If you also cook for money, one account covers every way you earn.
