#4What about zoning restrictions? Food service licenses? In many places, if you prepare food for sale to be consumed onsite, you are treated like a restaurant - most home kitchens aren't going to pass local health department requirements.

This is one of those things that is almost certainly illegal, but it depends on the wording of specific laws which vary by state and locality.

#7Does the site offer hosts/guests any protection (a la AirBnB) in case something goes wrong?

Many great new ideas aren't legal. Use your own car like a taxi? Rent your spare bedroom to strangers? Sell electric cars direct, without a dealer? Share music, books and movies with your friends? Run a mesh network in your city to bypass the local monopoly? Trade cryptocurrency for national currency?
Just because it's illegal doesn't mean it's not a killer idea.
Congratulations, Cozymeal!

#9It would be incredibly unfortunate if this were found to be illegal. You take many of the same health risks when eating at a friend's house. The only difference is you don't pay your friend.

#10Feature request: Sort by distance. I don't live in SF so it would be nice to see things close to me first.
Edit: Also Facebook only sign in is a deal-breaker. I never use services where it's required.
