Far cheaper than a delivery.
No delivery fee, no underpaid rider, no margin: you pay your share of the groceries. And as a bonus, you stretch your legs and get to know your neighbourhood.
Everything, explained.
Is it like a delivery?
No: no courier and no margin. You pay your share of the groceries, and you eat what your neighbour cooked.
Do I bring a container?
The host says so before you book.
Is to-go on every sqwat?
Only on public sqwats, when the host offers it.
How much does it cost, and how is the price worked out?
The app is free. The host estimates the groceries, and Sqwat splits them across every place, the host’s own included: the host pays their share like everyone else. The price shown includes the Sqwat fee (5 % plus €0.99 per place). It’s set from the start and doesn’t change, even if some places stay empty. Your card is held when you ask for a place, and only charged if the host accepts you.
Max price or fixed price: what’s the difference?
With a max price, you pay at most the price shown: after the meal, the host enters what they really spent, and you get the difference back. With a fixed price, you pay the price shown, whatever the receipt says. And in a private or secret sqwat, the host can also cover everything: their guests pay nothing.
What the tax office says: does the host make money?
At home, it’s cost sharing: as long as the host eats with their guests and what they pay doesn’t exceed the real cost of the groceries, it isn’t income. Anything the host receives above that is taxable income they must declare. That’s why Sqwat works out the price from the groceries. For to-go sqwats, the rule is stricter: one to-go sqwat a week at most (beyond that, it becomes a catering business, with a professional kitchen and licences), and what the host receives is taxable, even if it only pays back the groceries.
