Host Guidelines

Everything you need to know to host safely, transparently, and in compliance with Norwegian food regulations. Read carefully — this is your responsibility as an independent host.

HomeDining is a platform, not a food operator. We connect independent hosts and guests for dining experiences and home meal pickups. Hosts are independent providers — we are the marketplace. All food safety, allergen disclosure, and regulatory compliance obligations rest with you as the host.

As a host on HomeDining, you are the independent food provider — not HomeDining. This means you are personally responsible for the safety, quality, and legality of all food you prepare and serve.

HomeDining is a platform that connects you with guests. We do not operate kitchens, produce food, or employ hosts. We provide the tools and marketplace; you provide the experience.

This independence is what makes HomeDining special — but it also means you carry meaningful responsibilities to your guests and under Norwegian law.

  • You are the legal food provider for all your listings
  • You must comply with applicable food safety and hygiene regulations
  • You are responsible for allergen disclosure and ingredient accuracy
  • You determine whether Mattilsynet registration or notification applies to your activity
  • HomeDining does not certify, license, or approve your food safety compliance

Ready to host responsibly?

All hosts must complete the compliance declaration before their first listing goes live.
