The food you've been missing
Somewhere in Zürich, your neighbour is making something extraordinary. Pre-order before they cook — only when enough of you say yes.
The problem nobody talks about
Most of it alone. Most of it without anyone waiting. Every Sunday, across every Quartier in this city, something extraordinary is being made — and going to waste because there was no way to share it.
Food waste and loneliness are two of the quiet crises of modern city life. solo.quando is one answer to both. Not through logistics. Through neighbours.

We're onboarding bakers across Zürich now.
Waiting for the first yes
Most food platforms were designed for professional kitchens. solo.quando was designed for everyone else — for the bakers who never had a shelf to put their food on.
Decades of baking. Recipes your mother taught you, and her mother taught her. You worry they'll die with you. They don't have to.
A transfer of cultureYou moved to Switzerland with a suitcase and a recipe book. Your börek, your maamoul, your Cantucci taste different here because they're made the original way.
A taste of somewhere elseWhether because of a disability, caregiving responsibilities, or a life that doesn't fit traditional employment — your kitchen is your best asset. We come to you.
Income from your kitchenYou bake every Sunday because you love it. You don't want a business — you just want to find the five people who are already waiting for what you make.
Purpose behind the recipeNothing is made until enough people say yes. No waste, no guesswork, no anonymous production. A real person, a real recipe, five neighbours who asked for it first.
Full mechanic explained →Name, recipe, price, pickup date. Every ingredient listed. Minimum five people.
Payment held, not charged. If five don't commit, every Franc returns automatically.
Ten minutes, agreed time. You meet the person who made your food.
"Every Sunday I make my grandmother's recipes. She's gone now. But on Sunday mornings, when my kitchen fills with the smell of citrus and warmth, she isn't quite."

Founder · solo.quando
PhD engineer. Eight years building global products at Schindler, Hitachi Energy, and Sonova. And every Sunday, a baker who makes too much for one person in a Zürich flat. solo.quando is not a startup that discovered food. It is a baker who learned to build platforms.
Read the full story →solo.quando is in its pilot phase. We are fifty bakers, five hundred neighbours, and one quiet test of a different way to share food.
Every person who joins now shapes how it works. You set the bar for what it becomes.
